We are inching closer and closer to the Stanley Cup Playoffs and as the regular season comes to a close over the next few days, there is less and less on the line around the league. As a result, the four matchups in the Eastern Conference are basically all but locked up so today, Jason and Frank previewed each of the series.They started off with the battle between two Sunshine State rivals as the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning will meet in round one. It feels wrong that one of these two will have their season ended in just a few weeks, but the guys gave their picks.They then moved on to the Battle of Ontario as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators will meet in round one. Are the Leafs finally ready to go on a deep run? Or could this pesky Sens team pull off an upset? Frank and Jason were actually split on this series.Tyler then popped in for Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about which eliminated team will look the most different next season and what Matthew Knies’ next deal could look like in Toronto.After that, they took a look at the two series in the Metro as the Canes will host the Devils in a series that Frank thinks could be a sweep. They also quickly talked about some potential goaltending decisions that a few teams will have to make before their playoff series begin.They also talked about the Montreal Canadiens’ chances of pulling off a major upset and taking down the conference leading Washington Capitals. The vibes are high in Montreal, but do they have the talent to beat a 100+ point team?1:10 - Rangers officially eliminated4:40 - Predictions gone wrong12:20 - Tampa Bay vs Florida20:40 - Toronto vs Ottawa30:10 - Fill in the Blank37:20 - Carolina vs New Jersey46:15 - Washington vs MontrealWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
