The Florida Panthers Even Things Up, The NHL’s Coaching Market & an Early Look at the Free Agent Class

Jason and Frank are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs continues to roll on. At first, it felt like we might get a few pretty quick series, but the results from this weekend have drastically changed things.

To start things off, they looked into the Toronto and Florida series, where the home teams have been absolutely dominant. The Maple Leafs were a bounce away from taking a 3-0 series lead but now, things are all tied up at two as they head back to Toronto for Game 5.

They also talked about the Dallas Stars taking a 2-1 series lead on the Winnipeg Jets and some of the headlines that have come from that series like the seven-minute video review, Hellebuyck's play and Mason Marchment hitting a referee with his stick.

They also quickly touched on some of the coaching situations around the league, including Joel Quenneville being officially hired by the Anaheim Ducks, before getting to Tyler Yaremchuk and a new edition of Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about Frank’s latest Top 50 Free Agents ranking.

After that, they talked about the other two series from Round 2 as the Golden Knights got a massive last second victory over the Edmonton Oilers to get themselves right back in their series and the Carolina Hurricanes delivered another dominant victory over the Washington Capitals and now have a 2-1 series lead.
