About this episode
Welcome to the DFO Rundown! Today the guys start with quick chat about the baseball playoffs before jumping into the CRAZY preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning as they racked up over 300 penalty minutes. This sparks the conversation about the need for toughness and skill in the NHL. Is the fighting pendulum swinging back the other direction? Could we see more fights this season? Then we talk about the players that hit waivers this weekend and who could be claimed. Will Michael DiPietro clear and are the Edmonton Oilers interested? Are the Penguins still in a rebuild? Then we dive into the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild. Are the Penguins still in a rebuild and how to do they take a step back in the right direction if they want to keep Crosby? Then they discuss the Filip Gustavsson extension and if Kaprizov's huge extension will hurt the Wild in the long run? Which 100 Point/Playoffs from last season will repeat and who will fall back? Will the Rangers and Redwings return to the postseason? Are the Carolina Hurricanes tough enough to win the Stanley Cup? They finish off the pod talking about rookie Brady Martin and whether or not he will make the Nashville Predators. 1:40 - Trey Yesavage (Patrick Roy) 3:50 - Tampa vs Florida Preseason Brawl 14:30 - Increasing Toughness in the NHL 16:30 - Is Fighting Slowly Returning? 21:00 - Why Rangers Fans Love Rempe 29:00 - Final Roster Cuts 29:45 - Michael DiPietro to Edmonton? 35:30 - Pittsburgh Penguins Rebuild 41:15 - Detroit Redwings Defense Problems 43:45 - Filip Guastavsson Extension in Minnesota 47:50 - Will Kaprizov's Extension Hurt the Wild? 49:45 - 100 Point Teams 53:00 - Winnipeg Jets (Kyle Connor) 55:15 - Will Detroit Red Wings / Rangers Make the Playoffs? 1:00:00 - Carolina Hurricanes 1:00:00 - Will Brady Martin Make the Predators Roster?
