We had one Game 7 in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and is resulted in another hearbtreaking loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Panthers absolutely dominated the Leafs in each of their final two wins in the series and that’s led to questions about whether or not we will see massive changes in Toronto this summer.Frank and Jason began the pod by talking about which players should be back next season and what some of the key problems are with this Leafs group. Will next year’s team feature Mitch Marner? What about John Tavares? Could there be an even bigger trade coming?From there, they previewed the Hurricanes and Panthers matchup. These two teams met two years ago in the ECF and it resulted in a Panthers sweep. Will the Canes push them any harder this year?Tyler then joined for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys some questions about the final four teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the offseason ahead for the bottom five teams from this past season.To wrap up, the guys put a bow on the Stars vs Jets series, talked about Hellebuyck’s performances on the road, and what the Jets could do this summer. They then previewed the Oilers and Stars series, which is a rematch of last years Western Conference Final.0:45 - Big changes in Toronto?23:55 - Canes & Cats move on26:10 - Fill in the Blank38:00 - Stars finish off Jets45:20 - Stars vs Oilers previewWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

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?
