Leafs Front Office Hypotheticals + Mike Kelly in Montreal
5/1/202650 min
Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off the Friday edition by reacting to the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly being denied permission to interview Tampa Bay GM Julien BriseBois. They discuss Tie Domi's involvement in the process before opening up the Leafs Line to take your calls and questions. Then, they look back on the Oilers' playoff elimination after a loss to the Ducks. Later, NHL Network's Mike Kelly joins the show (26:36) from Montreal ahead of Game 6 between the Canadiens and Lightning, and he gets into what John Chayka could add to an already robust analytics department in Toronto, the keys for the Bolts to keep their season alive, and what went wrong for Edmonton in Round One.
