Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com columnist Nick Cotsonika for a full episode roundtable discussion in which they all threw out various overreactions to the early season and discuss a variety of storylines that have unfolded one week into the NHL season. They talked about the New Jersey Devils' rocky start and coach Lindy Ruff's future, the Minnesota Wild's sluggish start and the Vancouver Canucks' players' only meeting after losing three straight games.  They discussed rookie center Shane Wright's ice time, or lack of it and debated whether Trevor Zegras or Cole Caufield was the better goal scorer.
