Contenders & Pretenders in the Eastern Conference

Frank’s week of rotating co-hosts continued today as he was joined by Pete Blackburn of What Chaos! In the first part of the show, they went through all the teams that are currently existing in the mushy middle of the Eastern Conference.There are eight teams that all have convinced themselves to some extent that they are capable of making the playoffs and yet none of these teams have gone on any sort of a run that would lead you to believe that they’re front runners in the race for one of the final two wild card spots. Frank and Pete went through every team and gave the case for and against them making the Stanley Cup Playoffs.Frank is high on the New York Rangers while Pete thinks that teams like Montreal and Columbus should do everything they can to help out their young cores and shouldn’t sell off.Frank also mixed in a quick update on the Vancouver Canucks and the JT Miller rumblings. They also talked about how he could fit in with teams like the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers.Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the boys about the new name for the Utah Hockey Club, how many pieces the Canucks could move before the deadline, and the rumours swirling around Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke.They wrapped up with some talk about the Minnesota Wild & they discussed where Brandon Saad could end up.2:10 - Boston Bruins8:30 - Ottawa Senators11:25 - Columbus Blue Jackets15:55 - Detroit Red Wings17:50 - Montreal Canadiens21:00 - Pittsburgh Penguins24:30 - Quick Canucks update28:05 - New York Rangers34:00 - New York Islanders36:30 - Buy or Sell45:40 - Brandon Saad’s futureWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
