A 2-0 Roadtrip is a Great Start to 2021-22

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins for a Micheletti Monday, and we recap the first weekend of action in the NHL. We start with the Wild, who started the season 2-0 with a couple of nice road wins against Anaheim and Los Angeles. We looked at the best part of the weekend for the Wild, which was far and away the play of Cam Talbot. We also played "Overreaction or Not" with a few key questions:

• Are we concerned that the first line has been quiet so far?


• Has Brandon Duhaime already solidified his spot as a 4th line wing with his first two games?


• Is it weird that Kaapo Kahkonen didn't start either game over the weekend?

We move to the Central division, and ask if it's time to panic for Chicago and Winnepeg with their goalies off to bad starts. We also point out that Darcy Kuemper is back to his old tricks again with great starts and awful starts being alternated. At the NHL level, we hit the panic button on the Vegas Golden Knights, who can't look to Jack Eichel to provide them instant relief with Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone both injured. We give Buffalo some credit for a good start to their season, debate whether or not Alexander Ovechkin can have a monster year this year in his quest to break Gretzky's goal record, and give Marco Rossi a shoutout for his first career AHL goal. A jam packed start to your week!
