Bruce Boudreau was the first guest on today's show. We got right into the Oilers talk with him, starting with Connor McDavid's unreal start to the season. He then touched on the play of the team so far this season, how important Nugent-Hopkins return is tonight for the team. We then looked elsewhere and got his thoughts on Brady Tkachuk's return last night in Ottawa and as well touched his biggest surprise so far this season.

Jamie McLennan kicked off today's guest lineup, jumping straight into a breakdown of last night's thrilling overtime win and what makes this Oilers squad so fun to watch right now. The conversation quickly shifted to the crease, with Noodles evaluating Devon Levi—what sets him apart from previous Edmonton netminders of the McDavid era, and whether it's fair to label him the goalie of the future. The guys also looked down the ice at Minnesota's Jesper Wallstedt, discussing his potential to evolve into one of the league's elite goaltenders. To wrap things up, Noodles previewed tonight's marquee matchup in Ottawa as Brady Tkachuk makes his first emotional return to the nation's capital since being traded.
