Looking to bounce back after his first losing night following three straight winning evenings to begin the season, Neil posted an 8-5 mark Saturday. His straight up win-loss mark now sits at 20-14. A handful of games on the Sunday docket starting with a matinee in Detroit.

The road teams had their way Friday sweeping all five games. Neil only won with the Rangers in Detroit in posting a 1-4 mark to drop his straight up record to 12-9. The first Saturday of the new season provides a 13-game test.

Finally time to talk about things happening on the ice. The 84-game regular season is here and Vic and Neil have plenty to cover from the first three nights as we go live on BZZR.com and YouTube. We had a goalie score a goal and offensive outbursts bringing back memories of the mid-1980's. There's also some potentially significant injury news regarding Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov plus Smith's Pix.

Neil ran the home teams across the limited three-game schedule Wednesday and was 2-1 straight up to improve to 5-3 through eight games.

Neil is back for a second season of Smith's Pix. After posting a .625 winning percentage a season ago, he's truly challenging himself as his overall record for this season with be straight wins and losses and no credit for teams picking up a point by virtue of an overtime or shootout loss. Thus, his opening night record was 3-2 as opposed to 3-0-2. And therein, lies the challenge. What would have been an .800 winning percentage in 2025-26 sits merely at .600.

Nothing like a blockbuster trade on the eve of a new season to get fans going as Kirill Marchenko has moved on from the Columbus Blue Jackets to Toronto. Vic and Neil break it down and go straight to the heart of the matter: for two non-playoff teams from a season ago, does the move push either into the top eight in the Eastern Conference?
