Schaefer's Breakout, Tight Eastern Race & Trotz Return?

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?
