Penguins & Mike Sullivan Part Ways. PLUS: A Complete Stanley Cup Playoff Weekend Breakdown

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown and they started today’s show with some breaking news: the Pittsburgh Penguins Head Coach Mike Sullivan have parted ways.

Where could Sullivan land? Who could the Penguins target as their next Head Coach? The guys answered all of that and more, including some talk about the possibility of University of Denver Head Coach David Carle making the jump to the NHL.

They then went through all the other pieces of the league’s coaching carousel as there are more than a handful of openings and there could be even more coming. Rick Tocchet’s future in Vancouver is still up in the air, as is Patrick Roy’s on Long Island. There are plenty of teams looking for a new bench boss and that led the guys to rank the openings from around the league.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he got the guys talking about the wild weekend of Stanley Cup Playoff action. He asked about which teams should be feeling uneasy when it comes to their goaltending, the chances of some 3-1 comebacks & how the Oilers forced their way back into their series with the Kings.

To wrap up, the guys talked about some other playoff headlines and what they’ll be watching this week.
