Toronto Maple Leafs concerns, Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks, Steven Stamkos' fast start, Daniel Alfredsson makes appearance at Ottawa Senators' home opener

A little over a week into the NHL season, Ian and Sean discuss the teams that seem close to already boiling over: the Maple Leafs, Wild, and Canucks. Then, Steven Stamkos is off to a fast start this season, and a possible accomplishment on the horizon that everyone should root for. Next, with the response of Daniel Alfredsson's surprise appearance at the Senators' home opener, a discussion about what players have that affect on other franchises. To wrap up, looking back at one of the most unhinged NHL games ever in "This Week in Hockey History".
