Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!\
Jack Hughes is out for about two months with a strange off-ice injury. How will this affect New Jersey’s hot start, and will Hughes be ready for the Olympics?
Given the nature of Hughes’ injury, the guys discuss some of the weirdest athlete injuries from across the sporting world.
Tampa Bay beat their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers, despite a plethora of injuries to some of their top players. How will the injury bug affect the NHL trade market over the next couple of months?
Montréal and Boston highlighted a great weekend slate, with the Original Six matchup providing some sensational old-school hockey featuring two fights in the first five minutes. The NHL also took the ice in Sweden for the Global Series.
Drew Doughty suffered an injury over the weekend, and his hopes of representing Canada at the Olympics are slowly fading. After an underwhelming Four Nations tournament, was that the last time Doughty will don the Maple Leaf?
Staying in LA, Adrian Kempe cashed in with an eight-year, $85-million contract extension. Kempe was a top free agent heading into the 2026 off-season — so who’s left in a dwindling 2026 UFA class?
Zach Hyman returned for the Edmonton Oilers and helped propel them to a comeback win against the Carolina Hurricanes. Leon Draisaitl scored the overtime winner and finished the game with three points.
A scary scenario unfolded in the OHL, as Luke Dragusica slashed the face of Brady Blaseg during the Mississauga–Oshawa game. What will the punishment be for Dragusica?
The New York Islanders have had great starts from several young players. Matthew Schaefer has surpassed expectations on Long Island, and trade acquisition Emil Heineman is quietly putting together an impressive offensive season.
Brent Burns is continuing his incredible career in Colorado, where he’s averaging over 20 minutes a night for the Avs. During Colorado’s matchup with the Islanders on Sunday night, the broadcast noted that Burns had played 145 games before Isles defender Matthew Schaefer was born.
The New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings had an epic jersey matchup over the weekend, both sporting dark uniforms in a rarely seen double-dark pairing. Would you like to see more double-dark jersey matchups?
Gregor and Marek reminisce about old NHL arenas, from the low glass to the shadows on the ice.
Pat joins the show for another edition of “Buy or Sell”:
Who’s the favourite right now to win the Rocket Richard Trophy, and does David Pastrňák have what it takes to sneak into the conversation?

Gregor and Rupp start off the show with a look ahead to a weekend packed with sports.
The Colorado Avalanche may not be running away with the Central quite so easily. The Dallas Stars have been on a tear lately and just demolished the Atlantic-leading Canadiens 7–0. The guys talk about Jason Robertson heating up, Wyatt Johnston’s power-play prowess, and the anticipation surrounding a Jamie Benn return.
Next, we head to the West Coast to discuss the resurgence of the LA Kings. A team many predicted to contend atop the Pacific struggled out of the gates but has now found its footing, surging up the standings to sit second in the division. The guys
dive into their defensive acumen and a promising offensive spark.
Later, we look at the struggling Maple Leafs, who dropped another game last night—this one in overtime to the Kings—dropping Toronto to a .500 points percentage. People can point to the injury bug, but this team has been extremely poor defensively this season, with a league-worst goals-against per game. Gregor and Rupp break down a quote from William Nylander about the Leafs’ early-season struggles.
After a torrid start to the season, it looks like the Montréal Canadiens are coming back down to earth. The goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Jakob Dobês has faltered recently, with both goalies struggling to keep the puck out of the net.
Nashville is the team everyone is watching when it comes to a potential big early-season move. Will it be a coaching change, a veteran being shipped out, or something shocking—like moving on from Juuse Saros? Will the Predators regret going the veteran route instead of committing to a rebuild like Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose?
Home ice used to be a fortress for the Vegas Golden Knights, but over their latest home stretch they’ve collected only four points out of a possible 12. Can they turn it around as they play five of their next six on the road?
Later, Pat joins the show for “Fill in the Blanks” with questions such as:
Who can challenge Joel Quenneville for the Jack Adams Award?
Will anyone challenge Connor Hellebuyck’s Vezina reign?
Which franchise deserves Gavin McKenna?
After that, the guys discuss Gavin McKenna’s start at Penn State before wrapping up the show with a little Grey Cup talk ahead of the big game in the CFL this weekend.

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.
Irfaan and David are back with Episode 6 of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition. Vancouver and Toronto have both gotten off to tough starts and fans are starting to get worried. With injuries to Demko and Matthews, is it time to panic in two of Canada's largest markets? The guys also talk about next steps for the Wings and if the New Jersey Devils might have to move out a key piece to make room for an impact forward.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
Gregor and Marek kick off the show with Marek asking whether Vancouver is becoming the new Cole Harbour. Gregor follows up by asking which young gun — Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, or Leo Carlsson — will finish the season higher in the points race?
The guys then dive into the growing parity across the league and the surprising rise of the Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, and San Jose Sharks, each climbing from the basement of the standings into playoff contention. They contrast that with the Nashville Predators, who have doubled down on veterans rather than embracing a youth movement like the other emerging teams.
With the Hockey Hall of Fame Game going tonight, they break down this year’s inductees and discuss how the NHL could improve and modernize the induction event.
Saturday’s dismantling of the Edmonton Oilers at home by the Colorado Avalanche raises the question: How concerned should fans in Alberta be?
The conversation then shifts to a former Oiler. Corey Perry is thriving in Los Angeles, sparking a debate about the 2003 draft and the two active legends it produced: Brent Burns and Corey Perry. Who has had the better career?
Next, the guys examine the goaltending tandem in Montréal, a major storyline for the Atlantic Division–leading Canadiens. With Samuel Montembeault's play has he positioned himself as a legitimate candidate for Canada’s Olympic roster or who should Team Canada look at?
Later, Vick joins the show for “Buy or Sell” with questions such as:
Will there be multiple U-21 players on Team Canada?
Are the Montréal Canadiens the best team north of the border?
Is John Tavares a Hall of Famer?
The show wraps up with a look at the Ducks, their talented young core, and the savvy veteran they added to support the group.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jeff Gregor and Mike Rupp!
Gregor and Rupp start off the show discussing Rupp’s Chicago Bulls fandom and whether he might have had a basketball career if he hadn’t pursued hockey. What sport would you play or follow if not for hockey?
Then we dive into Alexander Ovechkin’s remarkable milestone of reaching 900 career goals. We discuss other elite players, past and present, who have hit major milestones or are on pace to do so. Will Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby reach 2,000 points?
Gregor highlights the incredible consistency and longevity of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky’s goal record was once thought to be unbreakable; could we ever see a player approach his single-season points record of 215?
The Anaheim Ducks have come out of the gates flying. Can the Ducks sustain this hot start and make a Stanley Cup run?
Macklin Celebrini is tied with the likes of Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid atop the NHL points leaderboard. His 200-foot game has Canadian fans asking: will we see Celebrini don the red and white, and black, at the 2026 Olympics?
Gregor and Rupp break down the controversial hit by Tyler Pitlick on Jalen Chatfield. Is the Minnesota Wild forward facing a multi-game suspension?
Later, we play “Fill in the Blanks.”
Morgan Geekie and Cutter Gauthier are surprise entries among the elite goal scorers after the first month of the season.
Which basement-dwelling team from last season has a legitimate shot this year?
Where will the PWHL expand next, following the release of Vancouver and Seattle’s team names yesterday?
Lastly, we discuss the sneaky strong start from the Boston Bruins. The start is surprising, and while the guys don’t think the Bruins will make the playoffs, they love what they’re seeing from Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm. Can the Bruins squeak into a playoff spot come April?
Gregor’s "ferocious, killer" dog Maple makes a guest appearance as the guys wrap up the show.

Irfaan and David are back with Episode 5 of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition. Is Edmonton looking to move some pieces out? As Zach Hyman nears his return from injury, the Oilers are in a tough cap situation. Could they join a growing list of Western Conference teams looking to make a trade early in this season? Speaking of trades, the Insiders expect St. Louis and Nashville to receive plenty of interest in their veteran forward as the Central Division begins to shake up without them.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
We start the show with a quick look at the World Series, where the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in extra innings on Saturday. Would you rather get swept or lose in OT?
Then we dive into the NHL, discussing luxury teams and dynasties. Is the definition of a dynasty changing in today’s league, where teams don’t dominate like they used to?
Next, we examine the Eastern Conference, where every team is currently over .500 in points percentage. Is the league tighter than before, and is that good for the NHL?
Matthew Schaefer continues to impress, scoring a hat trick on Sunday and totaling 5 goals in 12 games. Could he challenge the record for most goals by a defenseman in their first NHL season? (Brian Leetch had 23 in 1989.)
We also review Evgeni Malkin’s slash on Morgan Stanley and discuss whether it warrants a suspension.
Later, we play some “Buy or Sell”, covering Schaefer’s hot start, the World Series playing on the scoreboard in Edmonton, and whether the Flames are overplaying Dustin Wolf.
To wrap up, we talk about the struggling Nashville Predators and the possibility of Barry Trotz returning as head coach. Could it happen?

Welcome to a Halloween edition of the DFO Rundown as we start with some facial hair, costume and halloween talk!
We then jump into the hockey talk starting with the Seth Jarvis injury as he blocked a shot last night and Rob Brind’amour said “ it doesn’t look good”
Matthew Barzal was a healthy scratch last night after being late for a skate, was this the right call by management? Is that the right culture you want to build?
We then move onto the Martin Necas contract, $11.5M AAV for the next 8 seasons. Would the Avalanche be better off with Mikko Rantanen? Was this number higher or lower than expected?
The New York Rangers continue to be a conversation this season so we went on a little tangent on their top 2 lines. Where is their production and how can they find their confidence if they keep missing opportunities.
Trevor Zegras has seemingly found himself in Philadelphia. The whole team seems to be rolling right now on top of Dan Vladar playing exceptional in the crease. Is this a new look team in Philly with Rick Tocchet?
We then do some Fill in the Blanks for bet365 before finishing off the pod talking about the Pittsburgh Penguins at the top of the standings and our favourite Halloween costumes.

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.
Irfaan and David are back with Episode 4 of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition. Calgary's struggles continue, and Blake Coleman and Nazem Kadri have become hot names on the trade board. The Devils and Leafs are both looking to add up front, could they be fits? Adrian Kempe and the LA Kings are still far apart on a contract extension, and Utah has to figure out a plan for Nick Schmlatz after dishing out a 'Mammoth' of a contract to Logan Cooley.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
We kick things off with the red-hot Utah Mammoth and their 7-game win streak. With a young core firing on all cylinders and Schmaltz excelling on his new contract, how high can this team go?
Next, we dive into the St. Louis Blues’ struggles, from scoring woes to goalie confidence issues. Can Joel Hofer bounce back, and how much do they miss Zach Bolduc?
The energy picks up with the New Jersey Devils’ 8-game winning streak, where Jake Allen and Jacob Markstrom are shining.
We discuss some classic hockey jersey debates—Avalanche in Nordiques jerseys, Hurricanes in Whalers jerseys—and reflect on retired numbers.
Then we celebrate major player milestones: Nikita Kucherov hits 1,000 points, and John Tavares nears 500 goals. Could Tavares be on a Hall of Fame trajectory?
Producer Pat joins for a Buy or Sell segment: Can the Minnesota Wild hold their playoff spot? Will Jack Hughes hit 100 points for the first time? Are the Penguins sellers at the trade deadline?
We close with the Calgary Flames’ scoring struggles and whether their season might already be in jeopardy.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp.
Today we start the show talking about a few of the big goal scorers from last night as we had multiple hat tricks! Logan Cooley, Macklin Celebrini, Taylor Raddysh!
We then move on to the Colorado Avalanche and their hot start to the season, has Wedgwood earned the crease in Colorado and how much will Necas want with his next contract. How much of his success is due to Nathan MacKinnon?
We also take a deep dive into Dylan Larkin and the Red Wings, Utah Mammoth and Logan Cooley, and the officiating in last nights match between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens. Cole Caufiled had himself a game with two great goals but had some comments for the refs after the game on a Josh Anderson Unsportsmanlike penalty.
We then take a look at some early Olympic Roster predictions as Jason Gregor puts together Team Canada and Mike Rupp puts forward his best Team USA.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
Today we kick off the show with some banter about the Buffalo Sabres before heading into the big controversy this weekend with the Tom Wilson hit on Filip Chytil. Was it late or was it clean?
Then we talk about the great start for Kiefer Sherwood, followed by the Seattle Kraken. They have surprised many with their hot start this season!
A couple of major injuries hit the Pacific division as both Mark Stone and Anze Kopitar leave the ice early. Which injury will be a bigger blow and who will step up on their place?
Mark Schiefele has set a franchise record for points as a Winnipeg Jet! The guys sing his praises and talk about his potential to make the Olympics.
After "Buy or Sell" the guys talk about Brad Marchand's $5K fine for unsportsmanlike as he ripped apart Rasmus Dahlin's helmet in the penalty box.

Welcome to another Monday edition of the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
Today we start the show talking about some of the biggest winners and losers so far this season as the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers come out with hot 3-0 starts, while there are a few teams that have struggled out of the gates.
Of course we are going to go through some early season overreactions as the Toronto Maple Leafs have looked slow and the L.A. Kings are looking old and the Flames have struggled to score. Will these continue to be concerns?
Would it be a hockey conversation without talking about goalie interference? Marek believes the officials have done a great job when it comes to goalie interference calls over the past few years but this could be a very polarizing take!
After Pat joins for a Thanksgiving edition of “Buy or Sell” they guys discuss the fine for Tyler Myers “Slash” on Connor McDavid and Ian Coles dangerous trip on Steven Stamkos.
Then the guys have an interesting discussion about the trapezoid behind the net. What if the goalies COULDN’T go in it and could only handle the but OUTSIDE of it!?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!
Welcome to the DFO Rundown!

A few big storylines are already arising this season as the guys discuss the return of Jonathan Toews, the hot start for Kyle Connor, Evegeni Malkin and the looming contract situation for Adrian Kempe.
We then look at some teams off to slow starts as the Buffalo Sabres were shutout in Game 1 and John Gibson gets shelled in his Red Wings debut.
Can the Carolina Hurricanes go another season with injury prone goaltending? Pyotr Kochetkov is already missing the start of the season. How will the Canes handle this situation?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown!
Today the guys start with quick chat about the baseball playoffs before jumping into the CRAZY preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning as they racked up over 300 penalty minutes.
This sparks the conversation about the need for toughness and skill in the NHL. Is the fighting pendulum swinging back the other direction? Could we see more fights this season?
Then we talk about the players that hit waivers this weekend and who could be claimed. Will Michael DiPietro clear and are the Edmonton Oilers interested? Are the Penguins still in a rebuild?
Then we dive into the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild. Are the Penguins still in a rebuild and how to do they take a step back in the right direction if they want to keep Crosby? Then they discuss the Filip Gustavsson extension and if Kaprizov's huge extension will hurt the Wild in the long run?
Which 100 Point/Playoffs from last season will repeat and who will fall back? Will the Rangers and Redwings return to the postseason? Are the Carolina Hurricanes tough enough to win the Stanley Cup?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown!
On today’s episode Jason and Mike Rupp start by talking about Rupp’s Stanley Cup performance. What he remembers from his perspective how he felt at the time and his story about the game sheet!
We then move onto the Luke Hughes and Jason Lacombe extensions. Which is a better deal and who has earned it the most?
Last night saw a feisty game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. This game left Lundell as a question mark as he left the game early. If he is out this is another HUGE blow for the Panthers.
Which NHL teams that put up 100 point seasons last year will have a regression? Will the Canadiens and Capitals find their way back into the postseason? Are the Wild good enough in the east? On the flip side is Calgary good enough to get in?
As we were filming the Edmonton Oilers re-signed their Head Coach Kris Knoblauch. How important has he been to the Edmonton Oilers? Should he have been considered for the Jack Adams last season?
Producer Pat then joins for ‘Fill in the Blank’ brought to you by bet365.
On the topic of future predictions, how many players will have a 50+ goal season and how many will have 100+ points?
