The DFO Rundown Ep. 159 – Rod Brind’Amour joins the show as we preview the Metro Division

We are just under a week away from real, regular-season NHL hockey! With the season just around the corner, Frank and Jason continued their season previews today by taking a deep look at the Metro. They started things off by welcoming in Carolina Hurricanes Head Coach Rod Brind’Amour. Rod talked about the busy summer the team’s front office had and how he feels about the new mix of guys they added over the last few months. His mentality is simple: Stanley Cup or bust and he explained why the group they have is good enough to go all the way. We also talked to him about his gym routine and he told us about the absolutely stacked youth team that he coaches.

After the chat with Rod, the guys got into every other team in the division. Last year there was a 16-point gap between fourth and fifth in the division but there’s no denying that things will be tighter this season. Could a team that missed the postseason last year squeak in this time around? Frank and Jason gave their takes on that and more in our full Metropolitan Division preview. Of course, Tyler Yaremchuk also popped in for a new edition of ‘Fill in the Blank’ delivered by DoorDash.
