It’s a milestone episode of The DFO Rundown as Jason and Frank have reached episode 300 of the show. They kicked things off by talking a little bit about that before getting into the hockey talk.

They started out in Tampa Bay where the Bolts were bounced in five games by the Florida Panthers. The big story there surrounds the future of their Captain, Steven Stamkos. He’s right near the top of Frank’s ‘Top 50 Free Agents’ list but the guys seem to think he’s going to stay put.

That led to some talk about other big name free agents, like Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault, who could be on his way out of Vegas. They also talked about some names lower down the list like Oilers defenseman Vinny Desharnais. That sparked a debate about what the definition of a true second-pairing defenseman is.

From there, they got into the playoff talked about broke down the series that Frank is covering between the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators. They also hit on the Golden Knights and Stars and the Oilers taking down the Kings for a third straight season.

In this week’s edition of Buy or Sell, Tyler asked the guys a handful of questions relating to the coaching carousel in the NHL.

Utah officially welcomed it’s team to town as former Arizona Coyotes players and staff made their way to Salt Lake City to meet their new fan base. Frank was in the mix for all the festivities and told us all about the vibes. He also updated us on a few things like the status of the teams name and how they’re going to upgrade their arena.

After starting the podcast with some talk about the NHL’s newest franchise, Jason and Frank talked about some of the surprising results that we’ve seen so far through one week of Stanley Cup Playoff action.

The Dallas Stars are down 2-0 and now have to head out to Vegas for the next two games of their series. The Stars were a lot of people’s Stanley Cup pick and now, they’re in serious trouble and it’s not like they’re facing any normal eight seed. The Golden Knights are healthy and look dangerous. They talked about what’s gone wrong for the Stars and why their fans should be concerned.

They also hit on the Oilers and Canucks coughing up home ice advantage in game two of their series. The Canucks are going to need to find a way to win without Thatcher Demko, which could be a problem as they head out on the road. For the Oilers, game two was a reminder that momentum does not carry over from game to game. They also talked about the Oilers goaltending.

Brad Marchand has also made his presence felt in the Leafs vs Bruins series. He’s in their kitchen according to Jason Gregor and he made a massive impact in game three of the series. The Bruins are up 2-1 and now face an interesting question when it comes to their goaltending.
