Open Thread: NHL Season Kick Off

An open thread to discuss the beginning of the NHL season.

It's here! Hockey's back! Sportsnet's first night as the national NHL rights holder in Canada! Change (but not really)!

Four games on the schedule tonight:

Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7 pm, SN

Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins, 7:30 pm, NBCSN

Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames, 10 pm, SN

San Jose Sharks at Los Angeles Kings, 10 pm, SN1, NBCSN

The NHL team I dislike the most is...
