Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they break down the first few games of every playoff series from around the league.

They started out in Los Angeles where the Kings won both games at home and now have what feels like a commanding 2-0 series lead on the Edmonton Oilers, who don’t look anything like the team that went to game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals last season. Gregor broke down what he believes is plaguing the Oilers.

Out East, the Senators are trailing the Maple Leafs 2-0 after the first two games in Toronto. Can Ottawa turn things around with the series shifting to the Canadian Tire Centre, or is this Leafs team different this year?

They also hit on the Dallas Stars’ stunning win over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3, the Wild stealing a game in Vegas, and the Jets being up 2-0 on the Blues.

Tyler then joined for Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys how many series will end in five games or less, Jim Rutherford’s comments about Quinn Hughes, and the Islanders’ search for a new GM.

To wrap up, they talked about the Rangers’ decision to extend GM Chris Drury and the looming decision in Vancouver in regard to Head Coach Rick Tocchet.

1:10 – Kings lead Oilers 2-0

14:00 – Sens trail Leafs 2-0
