The calendar has flipped to October and that means hockey season is just around the corner. In fact, we are less than ten days away from the start of the NHL regular season and with that in mind, Jason and Frank decided to kick off their season previews on today’s episode of the podcast.With the Vegas Golden Knights coming into the year as defending Stanley Cup Champions, the guys figured it’d be fitting to preview the Pacific Division first.They started at the bottom of the division, where both the Sharks and Ducks finished last season. Do either of them have a chance to make a big jump up the standings this season?From there, they went up north to talk about two of the Western Canadian teams that missed the playoffs last season. Frank thinks that there’s a legit chance that both of these teams find a way to get back to the postseason this year while Gregor shared some concerns he has with both of their rosters.To break things up a little bit, Tyler jumped in for a Pacific Division-themed edition of Fill in The Blank, brought to you by Betano.In the back half of the pod, they talked about the teams in the division that did make the playoffs last year. Frank shared his pick for who’s going to miss the playoffs out of that group and they also debated if the eventual Stanley Cup Champion could come out of the Pacific Division. It feels like all three of the Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Los Angeles Kings have a real chance to do it.4:15 - San Jose Sharks9:46 - Anaheim Ducks13:50 - Vancouver Canucks26:30 - Calgary Flames38:15 - Seattle Kraken54:00 - Los Angeles Kings1:01:30 - Edmonton Oilers1:08:10 - Vegas Golden KnightsWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
