Just like everyone else, we're trying to figure out what the hell is going on with the NHL this season. We spent the first half doing that (it's figured out now). Later we discussed incredible pump-up songs, Scott Stapp, a more optimal league environment, and TRL.

The Sabres are 0-3, Josh is 0-1 in fantasy, and Shawn is in Florida; we embraced all of these issues and powered through it. We did have numerous technical issues, and rolled with the punches. Week 1 is in the books, and we spent the whole episode talking about it.

There's been some problems with our team point projection processes for the start of the season. Hopefully I'll have this fixed in a day or two. I know people desperately want to know how much the Sabres have dropped, but we'll all have to wait.
