The Blues open the season in Dallas, then play Colorado the next night, and the Real Blue hosts get ready for the back-to-back. First they share what they noticed in the opening games around the league: the Maple Leafs, the Canadiens, an Oilers game under Babcock, and Colorado's 8-4 win over the Kings. They also make their picks for the Stanley Cup final. Then they go through the Blues' roster news: Logan Mailloux out for two months, Tyler Tucker's surgery, Adam Jiricek getting the call to the top pairing with Philip Broberg, and Justin Barron claimed off waivers.
They also take a trivia question about Brett Hull's record for opening-night goals. Before getting to their predictions for the Dallas game, they talk about what a good start would look like, with goaltending, the power play, and how hard it is to open on the road against two top teams. The hosts also check in on the Alexander Nikishin and Simon Edvinsson situations and the Arizona State hockey coach's administrative leave.
