Daily Faceoff Live
Stanley Cup Playoff Preview with Jeff Marek & Steven Ellis
The playoff picture is set—and we’re diving all the way in.
We kick things off with a brand new listener bracket, before getting into front office movement around the league. What’s next for Vancouver? Is the job Ryan Johnson’s to lose, or are the Canucks casting a wider net? Plus, Sunny Mehta lands in New Jersey, and we check in on the latest rumblings in Toronto—including a surprising Mats Sundin mention.
Then it’s all about the playoffs. If you could only watch one series, which would it be? We make our picks and start breaking down the most compelling matchups—including potential upsets in the Pacific with young, rising teams like Anaheim and Utah.
Steven Ellis joins for The Next Wave to spotlight the names you need to know: Jacob Dobes, Ivan Demidov, Beckett Sennecke, Matthew Savoie, Porter Martone, and more. We dig into the youth movement in Montreal, debate which prospect has impressed most between Martone and Zayne Parekh/Kindel, and look at how Savoie fits into the Oilers’ plans.
We also preview the “Battle of Pennsylvania,” highlight must-watch storylines across the bracket, and take your questions in #AskDFO.
To wrap things up: betting angles with bet365, early Conn Smythe and Stanley Cup odds, and a little Garbage Time—including Macklin Celebrini chasing history (and yes, bottle sprays are discussed).
