Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown to kick off the week.

To begin things today, they talked about the Islanders' decision to go with Mathieu Darche as their next General Manager. He takes over a pretty flawed Isles roster and will certainly have his work cut out for him. The guys talked about what’s on his checklist for this summer and the decision that looms involving current Head Coach Patrick Roy.

After that, they dug into the Conference Finals. We’ve seen three games in both the East and West and one series has been much more interesting than the others.

The Florida Panthers have been absolutely pummeling the Carolina Hurricanes, which has raised some questions about the Canes roster and also Rod Brind’Amour, who is close to losing his 12th straight Conference Finals game.

Out west, the Oilers took a 2-1 series lead over the Stars on Sunday. Stuart Skinner turned in another impressive performance, Evan Bouchard continued to shine and Connor McDavid found the back of the net twice. The guys talked about the series and how the Oilers have this feeling like a lot more than a 2-1 series lead.

Tyler then joined for ‘Fill in the Blank’ where he asked the guys about Mitch Marner’s fit in Carolina, their NHL GM of the Year, and the Stanley Cup odds on Bet365.

To wrap, the guys talked a little bit about USA’s win at the World Hockey Championships.
