  • Panthers Struggling, Canucks Need to Sell & Talking the Best NHL Pests
    Dec 5 2025

    Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!


    Rupp and Gregor start the show off by talking about the competitive nature of the West and the parity of teams in the East.


    The Florida Panthers are now 7 points out of the playoffs with a demoralizing loss to the Nashville Predators last night. Lots of key injuries but will the return of Matthew Tkachuk be enough if they end up 10+ points out of a playoff spot come January. Sergei Bobrovsky has struggled for the Panthers this season and in a contract year, what's the future like for the Russian goaltender?


    Next, it's the Stanley Cup finalists in the West, Edmonton. A rough start to the year but a massive win over Seattle sees them pushing towards relevance in the Pacific Division race. The Kraken lack top talent, and the guys dissect Seattle's moves from the expansion draft to present day. Is there a team that needs a top-3 pick more than the Kraken?


    Calgary and Nashville have started to drag themselves out of the basement and Vancouver now see themselves at the bottom of the NHL standings. Could the Canucks be the first piece to fall on the trade market and blow it all up?


    Pat joins the show for Fill in the Blank with questions like:


    Jesper Wallstedt needs to ____ to win the Calder

    The Rocket Richard winner will have ____ goals

    The ____ will be a surprise team to miss the playoffs in the Eastern Conference


    Are Carolina and New Jersey in trouble with their current standing in the Metro?


    Rupp and Gregor look into some of the top pests in the NHL. From Brad Marchand to Mason Marchment, who are some of the guys who excel in getting under the skin of their opponents?


    Lastly, Rupp recounts some stories from his days in the NHL, some of the pests of his era, and some advice for young players looking to play the role of a pest.
