Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they previewed this year’s Stanley Cup Final, which is a rematch of last year’s battle between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
They began by talking about each of these teams paths to the final. The Oilers have been picked against in a lot of their series and yet, have finished off each of the last two rounds in just five games. Does that say more about their competition? Or the level of play they’re at? Gregor says their ability to play near mistake free hockey is the big reason why they’ve been able to roll through the last few rounds.
Frank talked about how the Florida Panthers have some fresh faces in their lineup as well and that we shouldn’t be discounting the defending Stanley Cup Champions. They also had a pretty tough path to get back to this point beating a trio of really good teams.
They also talked about players like Jake Walman and Brad Marchand, whose fingerprints should be all over this series. To wrap, they shared who their x-factors are in this series and gave their picks for both the series and the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Tyler then jumped on for Fill in the Blank where he talked to the guys about the teams that both the Oilers and Panthers have eliminated thus far and how different they could look to start next season. He also got their take on Pete DeBoer’s decision to pull Jake Oettinger and his comments after the game.
To wrap up, Frank gave some insight into the final two coaching vacancies that still exist in both Pittsburgh and Boston. Gregor also talked about some of the coaching news from last week in Seattle and New York.

What's happening DFO FAMILY!
colorado is the last team to win cup on rd that was 3 years ago
Wow! Oilers in 5? Congrats to the oilers fans from me and the Panthers six fans on winning the Stanley Cup. No need to play the games. 😂
Who got the west trophy from Mcdavid?
Oilers went 7-3 in their last ten games of the regular season and people keep talking about how bad they were to end the season. They were also playing without close to half their team.
Missing Zach is Huge, normally not one player makes that much difference but he is a great hockey player, especially in the playoffs. Panthers will play their smothering D, but Conner and the guys are explosive play makers, I'm afraid it may end the oilers run. C'mon Edmonton.
Fla is much better than Dallas but Edm was totally dominant against Dallas, should've been a 4 – 0 series. Tkachuk is obviously is hurt, Reinhart probably too. Barkov is finally actually overrated now 😂. Edm in 5.
Cats in 6
Vegas and ESPECIALLY Dallas were ultra fraudulent
I guess Bylsma and Gallant and Hakstol will never coach in the NHL again.
Oilers in 5
Holy shit the McDavid and Oiler glazing by this guy is insaneeeee. Oilers in 5??? I need some of what he’s smoking on forreal 😂
Kane wasn’t in last year Edmonton gotten more physical this year should be a good series ! Go Oilers!
Can McDavid and Drai raise it together then give it to Perry / Nuge ?
It might look strange, but if they do it right, would be funny ^^
I know, "funny" is frowned upon in the hockey world.
Frank doesn't evenisten to Greg's haha, he repeats his points directly after Greg's says them
OILERS IN 5! 🥅🏒🏆💫🧿🥳
Frank is the same guy that said Carolina was going to beat the Panthers. 😒
If florida wins, Bob wins the Conn Smythe
Here we go the guy in the LEFT is completely giving no credit to FLA and pushing everything up front to the table on the Oilers. Canadian media is the fucking WORSE when it comes to hockey. Complete biased commentary. No wonder why all the fans in the US can’t stand the teams up there.
Praying that the Oilers beat the snot out of Thachuk. Don't mind the Panthers' squad, just can't stand that guy. Oilers in 6
Cats in 5
Try to talk yourself into the oilers.You guys are freaking delusional. Try giving the damn guys that are champions some credit, you are the man until you beat the man and the man is the panthers, panthers in 6
Frankie picked everyone but the Oilers, for every single series. Even laughing at Oiler podcast hosts for suggesting they had a chance.
Both teams have improved since last year but Edm got more better……….
The X factor is OT. Florida loses 0 overtime games.
Panthers 4 : Oilers 2
Frank you are right about Florida BUT they had 3 chances in a row last year to exercise their “killer instinct” and were unable to. Go Oilers!!
Nothing is given,it is earned. Florida is not a favorite. Neither is Edmonton. So look out. The difference is razor thin.
Not sure if home ice matters for either team. Florida in 6
