The Canadiens have begun the season on a strong note, while the Leafs' goalie is calling out his team's effort in an attempt to ignite a fire under them. Injuries to key players remain a concern, and the Oilers are facing yet another slow start to the season. Leafs fans don't look now but Marner and the Knights look good early!

The first week of the season was quite eventful, particularly off the ice with several significant contract signings. Notably, Connor McDavid signed what can only be described as the most team-friendly contract in the history of sports, extending his deal in Edmonton and providing the franchise with a substantial discount. This move will enable the team to acquire additional support for another Stanley Cup run. On the ice, the Leafs narrowly defeated the Habs in their season opener, which was a bit sloppy. However, it's still early in the season, and there is plenty of hockey ahead.

The pre-season shenanigans have concluded, and teams are now finalizing their line-ups and roster decisions. The anticipation for the season to begin is palpable. Phil and Ryan share their insights on the outlook for the Leafs and Habs, along with their predictions for the upcoming season.

Phil and Ryan are back for Season 2 of the Aiming Five Hole Podcast. In our Pre-Season show, we will discuss the changes and outlook for the Leafs and Habs. Additionally, we will explore other significant stories around the league, including injuries, retiring players and unsigned stars. Tune in for insights and analysis as we gear up for an exciting season ahead.

We end the season the way we started it... Talking all things, Toronto Maple Leafs & Montreal Canadiens post free agency and big moves for better or worse for both teams. We also touch on the miracle that the Panthers pulled off bringing everyone back to make a run at the Three-peat and the winners and losers so far during free agency.

The Panthers go back to back and Bennett wins the MVP! Unfortunately Connor McDavid and the Oilers had no answers for the Panthers relentless forecheck and the Canadian drought on brining Lord Stanley back to Canada will last another year!

The Panthers lead the series 3-2 and head back to Florida with an opportunity to win back to back Cups! Can the Oilers continue to come up big after bad loses and drag the Panthers back to Edmonton for Game 7?? The Winter Olympics are less than a year away and each country has named their first 6 players to their respective rosters.

Panthers take a 2-1 series lead after a dominating game three performance! The Oilers didn't seem ready to play as the series moved to Florida but with an extra day off before game 4 they need to find their game to ensure this series heads back to Edmonton all square. In a surprising move the Dallas Stars fire head coach Pete DeBoer!
