The DFO Rundown Ep.170 – Surprising division winners, surprising playoff teams, and McDavid’s wild run

The regular season is almost a month old and both the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks are tied for a playoff spot. It’s safe to say that the start of the season has not exactly gone the way most of us expected. The teams on hot streaks, like the Devils, Bruins, Jets, and Golden Knights, have kept them rolling for a long time. On the other hand, the teams on cold streaks, the Blues, Penguins, and Flames, have really struggled to snap out of them.

Frank and Jason took a trip around the league and answered a bunch of big questions. Who’s the most surprising division leader right now? Which division is most likely to produce the Stanley Cup Champion? Can the Kraken miss the playoffs? Will there be any big playoff races? Or could this season be just as boring as last year? How many goals will McDavid finish with? They got to all of that and they had Tyler Yaremchuk pop in for a new edition of Buy or Sell delivered by Doordash.
