The Wednesday Athletic Hockey Show debuts with Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports and Sara Civian and Jesse Granger from the Athletic.
Pizzo, Civy and Jesse look back on the debut game between the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights in a playoff like atmosphere in Vegas, a questionable winning goal from Chandler Stephenson and a controversial goal celebration from Morgan Geekie. They discuss Nick Suzuki's contract extension with Montreal, Nathan MacKinnon missing the Avalanche season opener due to Covid-19 and how much Sara and Jesse are looking forward to interviewing players in person, after a year of connecting with players on zoom.
Tarik El Bashir, the Capitals writer for the Athletic stops by to preview the grudge match between Washington and the New York Rangers with Ryan Reaves looking to settle the score yet again vs Tom Wilson. We also discuss the injury to Nik Backstrom, the acting chops of Alex Ovechkin, and his wife Nastya and Tarik gives us a sneak peak into what TNT is going to deliver during it's first night of covering hockey for the NHL.
