The DFO Rundown Ep. 211 – What’s Happening in Calgary & Stanley Cup Playoff Controversies

We are through three nights in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and there is no shortage of storylines. Frank and Jason went through every series and where things stand right now, but first they dug into what’s happening in Calgary. Frank explained what happened behind the scenes and why Brad Treliving decided to move on after almost a decade in the GM chair.

They then got into the big storylines from the playoffs starting with the goaltending controversy brewing in Minnesota. After winning game one, the Wild switched up their starting goaltender and then got smoked in game two. Frank thinks this was the right decision and wonders if more teams will start looking at things the way the Wild do.

That wasn’t the only controversial topic from night three. A missed call in overtime between the Hurricanes and Islanders had Isles fans up in arms. Leaf’s fans are also upset that Michael Bunting was given a three-game suspension. Frank and Jason actually sided with Leaf’s fans on this one, saying that they thought the punishment was too harsh.

They wrapped it up by talking about the teams that are in danger of going down 2-0 despite having home-ice advantage. Which team needs a win the most? They gave their thoughts. They also brought in Tyler for a fresh edition of Buy or Sell.
