Eastern Conference Playoff Preview The DFO Rundown

    • Hockey

Part one of our Stanley Cup Playoff preview is here. Frank and Jason went through every series in the Eastern Conference today on the podcast. Before they got into the playoff talk though, they did hit on the sweeping changes that occurred in Pittsburgh on Friday with Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, and Chris Pryor all being fired after the franchise’s 16-year playoff streak ended. Could the Penguins be eyeing up Kyle Dubas to be their next General Manager? Frank answered that question on the show. They also quickly hit on changes that could come in Ottawa and Calgary.
They then jumped into the playoff previews, starting with the top-seeded Boston Bruins, who set multiple records during the regular season. Will it be a waste of eight days for the Florida Panthers, or do they have a shot at winning this series? Frank and Jason broke down if an upset is possible.
They then moved on to the series that a lot of people think could feature an upset. The Islanders got into the playoffs in the final days of the regular season and now, they’re facing a Hurricanes team that hasn’t been playing their best hockey down the stretch. Jason thinks an upset can happen but Frank isn’t taking the bait.
They also hit on the rematch between the Maple Leafs and Lightning, and whether or not the Leafs can exercise their demons and finally move on. The Bolts are hurting right now, but can they flip the switch for the playoffs. They wrapped it up with the ‘Battle of the Hudson River’ between the Rangers and the Devils. The two were once again split on who they thought were going to win this one
