The DFO Rundown Episode 127: Oilers & Leafs need more killer instinct and raw reaction to Barry Trotz news

The news broke late into episode 127 of The DFO Rundown that Barry Trotz had been relieved of his head coaching duties by the New York Islanders. Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor gave their raw thoughts on the decision.

Also, Frank and Jason ran through the games that happened over the weekend on the show.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers missed the opportunity to go 3-1 in their series. After Bruce Cassidy reunited the Perfection Line, the Boston Bruins are back on level terms with the Carolina Hurricanes. And the Florida Panthers’ goalscoring woes continued in game three.

Jason and Frank talked in depth about those three series and the other five that played out over the weekend.

They also questioned how almost every series is so close, yet, we have seen endless blowouts night after night.

Midway through the show, Liam Horrobin filled in for Tyler Yaremchuk to host Fill In The Blank, presented by DoorDash.

You can hear all of that and more on episode 127 of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli.
