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.

Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli kick off the week by recapping all the big stories from a wild weekend in the NHL, and there was a lot to get to. They started the pod by giving their takes on the Flyers' decision to healthy scratch Keith Yandle and end his NHL-record iron man streak. Was it fair or foul of the team to make that move? There was also the incident to start the weekend in a game between the Coyotes and Ducks. While Trevor Zegras should have been the biggest story of that game after scoring another insane lacrosse-style goal, it was instead Jay Beagle beating up Troy Terry that ended up being the biggest headline. Was this overblown? Or should Beagle have been suspended? They also talked about Leon Draisaitl hitting 50-goals and joining the 50-50-100 club, which Gregor pointed out is a very exclusive group. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for Buy or Sell! 1:40 - Yandle's streak ends 9:05 - Beagle vs the Ducks 14:20 - 50/50 Club 28:48 - Buy or Sell 43:05 - Will Franks bets hit? Hosted on Acast.

Happy Friday! Episode 116 of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli is here. Frank is back from his trip to Florida for the NHL General Manager meetings and ready to fill you all in. Before that, we are in crunch time in the NHL with less than a month to play. The Western Conference is tight, with nine teams still in the running for the postseason. Only eight teams can make it, so who the team that's going to miss out is? They also dive into the NHL awards and who should be nominees, especially the Jack Adams. There are plenty of candidates for that award, like Todd McLellan, Andrew Brunette, and even Jared Bednar from the Avalanche, to name a few. However, Frank thinks there's one clear winner. Also, on the show, Frank and Jason were joined by former NHL Marc Methot. Methot played over 600 games in the NHL with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators and Dallas Stars. Before they dug into the interview, Methot spoke about Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melynk and his memories of him. They then spoke about Methot's media career, the future of the Senators, and his time with the London Knights. You can hear all of that and more on episode 116 of The DFO Rundown. Hosted on Acast.

They continued to discuss what went well and areas of improvement for All Star weekend. The talk then moved on to the New York Rangers. The Rangers are in a great spot right now, sitting second in the Metropolitan Division, but what will they do at the deadline? Is it time for them to go all in and make a run for Lord Stanley?
