The DFO Rundown Ep. 171 – Devan Dubnyk on his career and retirement. PLUS: Our thoughts on Hall of Fame weekend
It’s Hall of Fame weekend in the world of hockey and that is where Jason and Frank started today on The DFO Rundown. The love shown to Bjore Salming over the weekend was incredible and the Leaf’s tribute to their legend was the biggest story of the weekend. From there, they discussed this year’s HHOF class which includes three Swedish players. It’s an interesting class as none of the NHLers inducted have won a Stanley Cup and that led to a debate about players who still aren’t in the Hall yet.
They then shifted their focus to the action on the ice over the weekend. The Devils can’t stop winning and the Canucks struggles continued. Will changes come in Vancouver? Frank seems to think so.
Former NHL goaltender Devan Dubnyk then joined the show. He talked about his long career as both a starter and a backup. His 12-year run in the NHL had a lot of ups and downs and he spoke about his mentality through it all. He also shared his plans for retirement and they had some fun in Rapid Fire.
