The State of Alberta Hockey with Eric Francis

Sportsnet's Eric Francis joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about this weekend's rendition of the Battle of Alberta (2:27). They start with the Calgary Flames' hot start, their plans in net for the rest of the year and why the front office saw a fit for Anthony Mantha alongside Jonathan Huberdeau. Then, why Edmonton Oilers fans shouldn't worry about their winless start and they address the ongoing debate on goalie interferences. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee take a deeper dive into the reigning Western Conference champion's struggles, the identity of the aging Pittsburgh Penguins, and Buffalo Sabres' captain Rasmus Dahlin's skirmish with Peyton Krebs at practice.
