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.

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

We start the show with a quick recap of Rupper’s Thanksgiving yesterday.

The Vancouver Canucks have opened up their veterans to the trade market. Which players do Gregor and Rupp think are most likely to be moved out of Vancouver? And what will happen with the most polarizing trade piece of all, Quinn Hughes?

The Edmonton Oilers have seen major regression on the defensive end, going from an above-average defensive team to one of the worst in the league at insulating their goalies. What moves can be made to solidify the Oilers’ crease? The guys dive into options like Tristan Jarry and Jordan Binnington.

Gregor asks Rupp which young goaltender in the NHL has the best shot at earning a Vezina nomination—or even a win. Askarov, Dostal, Knight, and Wallstedt are all showing out to start the season. Which of these four would you bet on to get the first Vezina nod?

The Winnipeg Jets are 0-3-0 since losing their Vezina-winning goalie, Connor Hellebuyck. How concerned should Jets fans be?

Pat joins the show for another edition of Fill in the Blanks:

• Comrie needs to ____ to keep the Jets afloat
• 
  
• Hellebuyck at +2500 can win the Vezina if ____
• 
  
• The next team to become a seller is ____
• 
  
• A surprise buyer at the deadline is ____
• 
  

The guys highlight the parity in the league right now and the tight playoff race as we pass the U.S. Thanksgiving mark. Rupp talks about Scott Wedgewood and how team defensive metrics can help goalies achieve better numbers than expected.

Lastly, will the Colorado Avalanche chase down the Bruins’ points record? And if they cruise to the Central Division title, would it affect them come playoff time?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!

We start the show with Mikko Rantanen, who is under fire after another questionable hit that has landed him a mandatory one-game suspension. Is one game too few for the Stars forward?

Patrick Roy was livid after the Rantanen hit on Alexander Romanov. Should a coach be yelling at an opposing player after a controversial play?

Winnipeg is without their Vezina goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck, and the teams behind them in the Central are pouncing on the opportunity to take advantage of a wounded Jets team. How high is the concern level in Winnipeg?

Talking about the Central, the Minnesota Wild are getting sensational goaltending from Jesper Wallstedt and Filip Gustavsson, with back-to-back shutouts, and an 8-1-1 record in their last ten, which has shot them up to third in the division. The line of Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Marcus Johansson has been stellar on both ends of the ice, prompting Gregor to say they might be the best line in hockey right now.

The Colorado Avalanche are off to an incredible start, with only one regulation loss over their first 22 games. Mackenzie Blackwood is back from injury, and Scott Wedgewood has been exceptional in his absence. The goaltending tandem have back-to-back shutouts for the NHL's top team, but who is the MVP for the Avalanche this year? Marek gives an answer you might not expect.

There have been plenty of surprises this season, and the Boston Bruins have the leading scorer in the NHL. You may not think this is surprising, as David Pastrnak is a top scorer in the league, but what if we told you he was tied with teammate Morgan Geekie!? Geekie has found his footing in his role on the Bruins and is enjoying the best start to a season in his NHL career.

The Buffalo Sabres looked destined for the bottom of the standings again but have won four of their last five and have crept out of the cellar of the Atlantic. Are the Sabres finally putting it together and turning a corner to challenge for a Wildcard spot over a top lottery slot?

On the other hand, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling and now reside in last place in the Eastern Conference. What needs to change in Leaf Land?

Gregor asks if Marek would take Celebrini or Bedard on the Olympic team if he could only take one of the two young stars. If you had to choose, who would you pick?

Lastly, the report from the NHL on the Olympic rink came back, and the dimensions of the ice are not what were expected. The players won't be playing on Olympic- or NHL-sized ice, as the Olympic rink will be smaller than an NHL rink. How will this impact certain roster decisions?

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

Gregor and Rupp start by looking at the teams struggling in the West and what the Vancouver Canucks should do right now. Will Quinn Hughes be on the move out of Vancouver if struggles continue?

The guys look at superstars who were traded mid-season and the rarity of a high-calibre player being moved at the deadline.

Two teams with slightly surprising starts in the East are starting to fall back down to Earth. Who are you more concerned about — Pittsburgh or Montréal?

JT Miller has come under fire for a lack of effort on a goal against Tuesday versus Vegas. Rupp breaks down the Rangers captain and what might be hampering the forward.

Is the recent stretch by Pittsburgh more reflective of what was expected from this Penguins team? Was their hot start unsustainable? Is Benjamin Kindel the future for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Alex Ovechkin scored three more goals last night and tied Bobby Hull for the fifth-most hat tricks in NHL history. Ovi is 17 hat tricks behind the Great One, but another record is in sight as he sits eight games away from tying Gretzky for the most multi-goal games. How many goals will the Great Eight finish with in his career?

Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin both sit in the top ten in NHL points. Given the success of Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid, plus the hot starts from even younger players like Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard, which active player will be next to break major records?

Connor Hellebuyck is undergoing a minor arthroscopic knee procedure that will sideline him for 4–6 weeks. How concerned should the Jets and Team USA be?

Next, Rupp gives his projected Team USA roster. Alex DeBrincat and Jason Robertson join the roster, while Brock Nelson and Clayton Keller drop out from his last projection. Do young players like Spencer Knight and Cutter Gauthier deserve spots on the American roster? Is Kiefer Sherwood a wildcard to make Team USA given his skill set?

Gregor gives his Team Canada roster projections. Young guns Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini join his projected squad as Mark Stone and Seth Jarvis drop out. Jakob Chychrun is the only change on the back end for Gregor, as he replaces Travis Sanheim on the projected roster. Is Scott Wedgewood’s start worthy of a spot as one of the three Canadian goaltenders?

Lastly, the guys discuss the Mikko Rantanen hit on Alexander Romanov in the Stars–Isles game and the reaction from New York’s coach, Patrick Roy.
