Episode 189 of The DFO Rundown was a special one. We’re almost 200 episodes in and this is one of the few times where all three of Frank, Jason, and Tyler were in the same room for the podcast. With Frank out in Edmonton for the weekend, they decided to meet up and crush out an in-person edition of the podcast.To start things off, they talked about a very famous Edmonton event: The World’s Longest Hockey Game. Jason has played in it before and shared some stories while Frank really wants to try it. They eventually got into some NHL talk starting with the red-hot Buffalo Sabres. Don Granato has his group in a playoff spot as we head toward the end of January. Are they legit? How did they turn around their culture this quickly? Frank and Jason debated that.From there, they went out West where the Minnesota Wild appear to be falling apart. Matt Dumba and Ryan Hartman have both really struggled and have been healthy scratched. Is the amount of dead cap space on the books catching up to the team? Can they work their way back into a crowded Western Conference playoff picture? It’ll be one of the biggest storylines in the second half of the season.Episode 189 of The DFO Rundown is brought to you by Athletic Brewing Co.
