Rantanen Powers Stars in Game 1 & The Leafs Stun The Panthers Early
Frank and Jason are back with a fresh edition of The DFO Rundown as the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is officially underway. They kicked things off by talking about Mikko Rantanen’s dominance in Game 1 of the Dallas Stars series against the Winnipeg Jets.It’s his second straight hat-trick and third straight game with three or more points and it’s the number one reason why the Stars are even in round two, nevermind leading the series. On the other hand, his performance is also causing more and more people to raise an eyebrow at the Colorado Avalanche front-office. The guys gave their take on Game 1 and the Avs press conference from earlier this week.From there, they talked about the Maple Leafs jumping out to a 2-0 series lead against the Florida Panthers. William Nylander has been incredible and the Leafs got a good performance from Jospeh Woll as well. Are the Panthers in trouble? Or can they grab back momentum as the series shifts back to Florida?They quickly hit on the Canes grabbing Game 1 over the Capitals and the Oilers dominant win over the Golden Knights as they wrestled home ice advantage away from Vegas.Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys if any of these second round series will be short, the GM searches in Los Angeles and Long Island, and the Utah Mammoth officially announcing their name and logo.They wrapped up by talking more about the GM searches around the league and Rick Tocchet’s job hunt.0:55 - Rantanen nets another hat-trick16:30 - Leafs stun Panthers18:40 - Canes take Game 120:25 - Golden Knights drop Game 129:40 - Buy or Sell40:15 - Kings & Isles GM search43:50 - Tocchet’s future48:00 - Sabres front-office52:30 - Canucks Head Coach searchWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

The Defending Champs Move On & It’s Game 6 Galore on Thursday Night
Jason and Frank are back with another playoff edition of The DFO Rundown as we saw a handful of series come to a close over the last few days. To kick things off today, they dug into the Battle of Florida, which was dominated by the Panthers. Frank wondered why so many people didn’t want to believe in the defending Stanley Cup Champions and also talked a little bit about Jon Cooper’s future in Tampa Bay. Could he potentially walk away and look to become a General Manager somewhere else?From there, they went to the Capitals vs Canadiens series, which also ended in five games. The Habs put up a good fight but it just wasn’t enough as the Caps put them away. Does Washington have the horses to turn this series win into a deep playoff run?The Carolina Hurricanes also punched their ticket to the next round, which put Head Coach Rod Brind’Amour into a pretty exclusive class with his seventh straight first-round win. Can the Canes finally find success later in the playoffs?They also hit on what the Devils need to do this summer to take the next step before Tyler Yaremchuk popped on for a new edition of Buy or Sell. He asked the boys about the chances of a big trade in Montreal, the best landing spots for Rick Tocchet, and which teams have the best and worst chances of coming back from their 3-2 series deficits.To wrap up, they dug into the Leafs' continued struggles in close-out games and the rest of the series that could come to a close tonight.1:00 - Bolts get bounced11:30 - Caps advance14:45 - Devils' next steps19:50 - Canes' chances of going deep31:00 - Buy or Sell43:15 - Game 6 scenariosWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Gregor broke down what he believes is plaguing the Oilers.Out East, the Senators are trailing the Maple Leafs 2-0 after the first two games in Toronto.
