Opening night thoughts, Penguins and Capitals past and present, and betting trends to watch

The Athletic Hockey Show

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe share a memory of their college ball hockey glory days before jumping into some thoughts on the opening night of the NHL season, including the entertaining Maple Leafs- Canadiens game, is it possible to overreact to the Penguins loss, and how division realignment can affect old playoff rivalries.

Then, Golden Knights beat writer Jesse Granger joins the show to discuss betting trends to watch, including tracking the seven teams that missed the playoffs, Cup favorites, and more.

Finally, Ian and Sean wrap up with answering some listener questions, and hit you with some "This Week in Hockey History" knowledge.
