Gregor and Rupp start off the show with a look ahead to a weekend packed with sports.

The Colorado Avalanche may not be running away with the Central quite so easily. The Dallas Stars have been on a tear lately and just demolished the Atlantic-leading Canadiens 7–0. The guys talk about Jason Robertson heating up, Wyatt Johnston’s power-play prowess, and the anticipation surrounding a Jamie Benn return.

Next, we head to the West Coast to discuss the resurgence of the LA Kings. A team many predicted to contend atop the Pacific struggled out of the gates but has now found its footing, surging up the standings to sit second in the division. The guys

dive into their defensive acumen and a promising offensive spark.

Later, we look at the struggling Maple Leafs, who dropped another game last night—this one in overtime to the Kings—dropping Toronto to a .500 points percentage. People can point to the injury bug, but this team has been extremely poor defensively this season, with a league-worst goals-against per game. Gregor and Rupp break down a quote from William Nylander about the Leafs’ early-season struggles.

After a torrid start to the season, it looks like the Montréal Canadiens are coming back down to earth. The goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Jakob Dobês has faltered recently, with both goalies struggling to keep the puck out of the net.

Nashville is the team everyone is watching when it comes to a potential big early-season move. Will it be a coaching change, a veteran being shipped out, or something shocking—like moving on from Juuse Saros? Will the Predators regret going the veteran route instead of committing to a rebuild like Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose?

Home ice used to be a fortress for the Vegas Golden Knights, but over their latest home stretch they’ve collected only four points out of a possible 12. Can they turn it around as they play five of their next six on the road?

Later, Pat joins the show for “Fill in the Blanks” with questions such as:

Who can challenge Joel Quenneville for the Jack Adams Award?

Will anyone challenge Connor Hellebuyck’s Vezina reign?

Which franchise deserves Gavin McKenna?

After that, the guys discuss Gavin McKenna’s start at Penn State before wrapping up the show with a little Grey Cup talk ahead of the big game in the CFL this weekend.

Irfaan and David are back with Episode 6 of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition. Vancouver and Toronto have both gotten off to tough starts and fans are starting to get worried. With injuries to Demko and Matthews, is it time to panic in two of Canada's largest markets? The guys also talk about next steps for the Wings and if the New Jersey Devils might have to move out a key piece to make room for an impact forward.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jeff Gregor and Mike Rupp!

Gregor and Rupp start off the show discussing Rupp’s Chicago Bulls fandom and whether he might have had a basketball career if he hadn’t pursued hockey. What sport would you play or follow if not for hockey?

Then we dive into Alexander Ovechkin’s remarkable milestone of reaching 900 career goals. We discuss other elite players, past and present, who have hit major milestones or are on pace to do so. Will Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby reach 2,000 points?

Gregor highlights the incredible consistency and longevity of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky’s goal record was once thought to be unbreakable; could we ever see a player approach his single-season points record of 215?

The Anaheim Ducks have come out of the gates flying. Can the Ducks sustain this hot start and make a Stanley Cup run?

Macklin Celebrini is tied with the likes of Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid atop the NHL points leaderboard. His 200-foot game has Canadian fans asking: will we see Celebrini don the red and white, and black, at the 2026 Olympics?

Gregor and Rupp break down the controversial hit by Tyler Pitlick on Jalen Chatfield. Is the Minnesota Wild forward facing a multi-game suspension?

Later, we play “Fill in the Blanks.”

Morgan Geekie and Cutter Gauthier are surprise entries among the elite goal scorers after the first month of the season.

Which basement-dwelling team from last season has a legitimate shot this year?

Where will the PWHL expand next, following the release of Vancouver and Seattle’s team names yesterday?

Lastly, we discuss the sneaky strong start from the Boston Bruins. The start is surprising, and while the guys don’t think the Bruins will make the playoffs, they love what they’re seeing from Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm. Can the Bruins squeak into a playoff spot come April?

Gregor’s "ferocious, killer" dog Maple makes a guest appearance as the guys wrap up the show.

Irfaan and David are back with Episode 5 of the DFO Rundown Insider Edition. Is Edmonton looking to move some pieces out? As Zach Hyman nears his return from injury, the Oilers are in a tough cap situation. Could they join a growing list of Western Conference teams looking to make a trade early in this season? Speaking of trades, the Insiders expect St. Louis and Nashville to receive plenty of interest in their veteran forward as the Central Division begins to shake up without them.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!

We start the show with a quick look at the World Series, where the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in extra innings on Saturday. Would you rather get swept or lose in OT?

Then we dive into the NHL, discussing luxury teams and dynasties. Is the definition of a dynasty changing in today’s league, where teams don’t dominate like they used to?

Next, we examine the Eastern Conference, where every team is currently over .500 in points percentage. Is the league tighter than before, and is that good for the NHL?

Matthew Schaefer continues to impress, scoring a hat trick on Sunday and totaling 5 goals in 12 games. Could he challenge the record for most goals by a defenseman in their first NHL season? (Brian Leetch had 23 in 1989.)

We also review Evgeni Malkin’s slash on Morgan Stanley and discuss whether it warrants a suspension.

Later, we play some “Buy or Sell”, covering Schaefer’s hot start, the World Series playing on the scoreboard in Edmonton, and whether the Flames are overplaying Dustin Wolf.

To wrap up, we talk about the struggling Nashville Predators and the possibility of Barry Trotz returning as head coach. Could it happen?
