The Penguins Historic Power Play Drought

The DFO Rundown

Jason and Frank are here to start the week off with a recap of everything we say over the last 48 hours in the hockey world.

To kick things off, they talked about whether or not we need to start accepting the fact that the Philadelphia Flyers will be a playoff team this year. They continued their heater over the weekend while the other team in Pennsylvania saw their historic powerplay drought continue.

The Penguins can’t buy a goal with the man advantage and it’s costing them wins. They currently sit six points out of a playoff spot and have just three wins in their last ten. Can their stars find some chemistry and turn this around? Frank and Jason debated it.

After Frank told us the story of his wild Saturday night, they then turned their attention to a wild weekend on the ice. David Perron will have an in-person hearing for his retaliatory cross-check and Erik Gudbransson will have a phone hearing. The guys talked about the difference between the two plays and how long of a suspension the two players could get. Jason also talked about how the league needs to start cracking down on hits from behind.

Tyler hopped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he got the guys takes on Sam Reinhart’s red-hot start to the season, the Bruin's chances of winning the East again, and the Seattle Kraken’s struggles.
