The DFO Rundown Ep. 129: Breaking down a wild first round & getting set for round two!

What a wild weekend around the NHL! We witnessed five game sevens over the last two days and each one came with a lot of drama! Frank and Jason touched on what we saw on Friday and Saturday and gave their takes on how each series ended up playing out. Connor McDavid was sensational, Johnny Gaudreau finally had his big playoff moment, and the Rangers completed the big comeback in their series vs the Penguins. 

From there, they looked at each upcoming series and gave their predictions for the next round of the playoffs. They each have at least one underdog going to the Conference Final and multiple series going the distance!

To end the episode, they welcomed in Canucks President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford! Jim talked about the Canucks offseason plans, how he’s handling being a President and not a GM, and more!
