    Oilers Eliminated, Wild Advance + Jason Robertson Decision Looms

    2026-05-01 | 52 mins.
    The first round just flipped the playoff script.

    The Edmonton Oilers are OUT after a flat Game 6 loss — and now the pressure shifts to a massive offseason with Connor McDavid’s window tightening. What changes are coming?

    The Anaheim Ducks complete a shocking upset, dominating Edmonton and announcing themselves as a real threat moving forward.

    Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild eliminate Dallas, exposing major flaws — including a brutal lack of 5-on-5 scoring — and now all eyes turn to Jason Robertson’s future as contract decisions loom.

    We break down:
    What went wrong for the Oilers (and what HAS to change)
    Ducks proving they’re ahead of schedule
    Dallas facing a franchise-altering summer
    Penguins at a crossroads with Malkin
    Previewing Round 2 matchups (CAR vs PHI, COL vs MIN)
    Early playoff MVP picks & betting angles

    The playoffs are heating up… and so is the offseason pressure.

    Logan Couture Opens Up About Retirement, Injuries & the Sharks' Future | DFO Rundown Insider Edition

    2026-04-29 | 31 mins.
    In this episode of DFO Rundown Insider Edition, the guys make their weekly stops in Toronto and Vancouver amidst the GM searches for both teams.

    Later, former San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture joins the program for a candid conversation about his transition away from the ice. He shares the mental hurdles of a career-ending injury, his newfound "dad mode," and the support he’s received from former teammates like Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau. He also offers his perspective on the current state of the Sharks, the impact of Macklin Celebrini, and why he’s skeptical about the NHL expanding beyond 32 teams.

    To wrap things up, the crew addresses the mounting trade speculation surrounding Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and why those rumors aren't going away anytime soon.

    Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network. They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon.

    Ducks Take Control, Tkachuk Questions Grow as Hurricanes & Avalanche Advance

    2026-04-27 | 1h 11 mins.
    Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!

    We kick things off with the Lightning and Canadiens, where the focus was on Brandon Hagel stepping up in a massive way as Tampa Bay continues to lean on key contributors in a tightly contested series.

    Then it’s over to Oilers vs Ducks, where overtime controversy stole the spotlight once again. We break down the debated OT winner, the mounting injury concerns for Edmonton, and what it all means as the Oilers try to keep pace in a series that’s quickly turning hostile.

    We also dive into another edition of Buy or Sell, before shifting to the Sabres taking control against the Bruins, and the Hurricanes completing a dominant sweep of the Senators.

    One of the biggest talking points right now is Brady Tkachuk’s future, and we take a deeper look at what could be ahead after Ottawa’s early exit.

    Elsewhere, the Penguins stay alive and avoid elimination, the Avalanche finish off a sweep of the Kings, and the Stars and Wild continue their back-and-forth battle.

    We wrap things up with a look at the Mammoth vs Utah series and some discussion on the upcoming World Championships.

    2026-04-24 | 1h 8 mins.
    The NHL Playoffs are delivering absolute chaos—and some teams are already on life support.

    In this episode, we break down the series that look all but over, including Ottawa, LA, and Pittsburgh staring down 0-3 deficits. Is there ANY chance of a comeback, or is it already “good night”?

    We dive into:
    Carolina completely shutting down Ottawa’s offense
    Colorado overpowering the Kings despite close games
    Why Philadelphia might be the most dangerous team right now
    Goalie decisions that could change entire series
    Early picks for playoff MVP

    Plus, we preview Montreal vs Tampa in what’s becoming one of the most intense matchups of the postseason as Utah hosts their first ever Playoff home game.
