The DFO Rundown Ep. 118: Insane awards races & a chat with 70-goal man Bernie Nicholls

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here to carry you into the weekend! Jason and Frank started today by talking about Auston Matthew’s crazy run and where he might finish the season. They also talked about the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning and then they got to some very complicated awards races.

They also talked to 17-year NHL Bernie Nicholls who has not only popped home 50-goals in a season, but he’s one of the few NHLers to ever score 70-goals in a single season. He compared scoring goals in his era to today’s game and also talked about his illustrious career and shared a funny nutrition fact about Wayne Gretzky.
