Kyle and Elliotte delve into Conor Geekie's one game suspension and fallout of the "crazy stuff" happening in this preseason (13:40). The fellas then highlight a couple of outstanding players who will surprisingly make an opening night roster across the NHL (24:26). Elliotte touches on why the Colorado Avalanche have a chance to struggle out of the gate (29:00).
