Babcock's Oilers stumble in debut

The NHL season might be new, but the Edmonton Oilers goaltending stays the same, and so has Mike Babcock's intensity. Jakub Dobeš continues his dominance over the Maple Leafs, Jeremy Swayman shuts out the Rangers, the Golden Knights roll over the Blackhawks, and the Panthers spoil the Hurricanes Stanley Cup banner raising. Sean, Frank and Sean recap the first five games of the regular season, they discuss 10 teams that need a strong start to the season, and Jonas Siegel presents his Maple Leaf 'IF' list, ranking the variables facing the overhauled team.
