On this episode of Upon Further Review, we kick off the NHL regular season! We start by reacting to the Buffalo Sabres giving Mattias Samuelsson and coach Don Granato extensions (0:23). We then discuss some trends from the opening week of the season including the Leafs’ defensive pairs and goaltending situation (9:17), some strange coaching decisions in LA (28:07), and whether the New York Rangers are the real deal this year (34:11). We then recap additional extensions that were signed recently, including Matthew Barzal (38:33), Jason Robertson (46:09), along with Mackenzie Weegar and how that impacts the outcome of the off-season trade (54:10). We end the episode discussing the opposite starts for Matty Beniers and Shane Wright and touch on whether young prospects should be given more time in developmental leagues (1:03:42), as well as reflect on some of the worst blown leads in NHL Playoff history following the Toronto Blue Jays’ wild card series (1:10:30).
