The DFO Rundown

We are back together in-studio for episode 190 of The DFO Rundown.

Episode 189 of The DFO Rundown was a special one. We’re almost 200 episodes in and this is one of the few times where all three of Frank, Jason, and Tyler were in the same room for the podcast. With Frank out in Edmonton for the weekend, they decided to meet up and crush out an in-person edition of the podcast. To start things off, they talked about a very famous Edmonton event: The World’s Longes...

What a dramatic weekend in the NHL. We watched Bruce Boudreau’s time in Vancouver come to an end in a very public way. Frank gave some insight into just how this situation got as toxic as they did. Did management want to make a change earlier? They also talked about the spot that Rick Tocchet is now in as the Canucks new Head Coach. They then went across Canada to talk about the news that Cole Cau...

Today on The DFO Rundown, Jason and Frank were joined by Craig Button of TSN and the Kool Button podcast. Of course, how could you not start things off by talking about Connor Bedard. Craig talked about how he wrestled with using the term ‘generational’, the comparisons to Gretzky at the WJC, and where the best landing spot for him is. They also got Craig’s thoughts on Matvei Michkov, who his bigg...

Today on The DFO Rundown, Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor went around the league to check in on a handful of different storylines. To kick things off, Jason went in on the idea of fully getting rid of the shootout. Would a full ten-minute period of 3v3 overtime really work? That also led to some talk that the league needs to remake the point system. From there, they dug into the Western Conferenc...

Today to start the podcast, the guys got a little personal. Frank is struggling with what to get his wife for Christmas, especially considering what she’s asked for. He also has a problem with the youth hockey team he runs. After that, they dug into the New Jersey Devils' winning streak. It’s now up to 11 games. For a team that most expected to be a fringe playoff contender, it’s been wild to watc...

It’s Hall of Fame weekend in the world of hockey and that is where Jason and Frank started today on The DFO Rundown. The love shown to Bjore Salming over the weekend was incredible and the Leaf's tribute to their legend was the biggest story of the weekend. From there, they discussed this year's HHOF class which includes three Swedish players. It’s an interesting class as none of the NHLers induct...

The regular season is almost a month old and both the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks are tied for a playoff spot. It’s safe to say that the start of the season has not exactly gone the way most of us expected. The teams on hot streaks, like the Devils, Bruins, Jets, and Golden Knights, have kept them rolling for a long time. On the other hand, the teams on cold streaks, the Blues, Penguins...

We are past the point of early season overreactions and now getting to the point where it’s time to wonder if struggling team members can get things back on the rails. That’s where Jason and Frank started today on the podcast. The Blues, Penguins, Flames, and Senators are all struggling to varying degrees right now and the guys broke down what’s going wrong with each of those teams. They also hit...

It’s Halloween night and we dropped a spooky edition of The DFO Rundown to celebrate the occasion.

For Bruins fans, this start to the season has definitely been a huge treat. The team is rolling and David P...
