It Kind of Says That We’re a Better Team Than Them

In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman break down the Minnesota Wild being humbled by Colorado for their first loss since the Quinn Hughes trade, including the Avalanche’s not-so-subtle social media response. The guys touch on Buffalo’s win over New Jersey on Jack Hughes’ return night and Jarmo Kekäläinen reshaping the Sabres’ front office (11:10). They talk Nashville’s push to “win the week” while still valuing Ryan O’Reilly (19:51), and the on-bench spat between Philly's Michkov and Tocchet (30:01). They also cover a busy league-wide mix of injuries, and milestones like Sidney Crosby passing Mario Lemieux (33:40), Danault returning to Montreal (35:46), and growing confidence around Ottawa (44:31). Elliotte and Kyle weigh in on concerns around Toronto’s scoring drought (51:46), more changes to the NHL Draft (57:20) and looming ECHL labor unrest (1:03:09). The Final Thought features Kyle’s travel misadventures in Grand Junction, Colorado (1:11:38).
