With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, the playoff race in the Eastern Conference is just getting spicier and spicier. The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders have gone from afterthoughts to squarely in the thick of things with their recent run.Can either team finish the job and get into the big dance? Frank and Jason started the show off by talking about what’s going on when it comes to the final two playoff spots that are up for grabs.From there, they continued their post-mortem series as they look at teams that have been officially eliminated from the playoffs. They started today with the Seattle Kraken, who came back down to earth after winning a playoff round last season. Can this team turn things around next season? Or do the Kraken need to take a longer-term approach to things?They then went out East and talked about the Ottawa Senators, who Frank says has the most disappointing season out of any team in the league. The two most talked about moments from their season are two empty-net plays and now the question becomes: can this Senators core actually win? New GM Steve Staois has a lot of big decisions to make in his first offseason at the helm.They wrapped it up by talking about the Calgary Flames. Craig Conroy sold off a lot of important pieces throughout this season and now, he has to decide whether or not to embark on a long rebuild or quickly try to re-tool on the fly.Tyler also swung by for a new edition of Buy or Sell, delivered by DoorDash.1:10 - The Eastern Playoff Race10:15 - The state of the Flyers17:50 - The summer in Seattle26:30 - The Senators miss again39:05 - The Calgary Flames44:05 - Buy or SellWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
