Former NHL President, GM and head coach Doug MacLean (0:53) joins Justin Bourne and Sam McKee for Off-the-Rails Friday! Mac discusses Minnesota's depth in the Wild's series win over the Stars, Mats Sundin and John Chayka's fit in Toronto's front office, where the blame falls in Edmonton after their first-round exit, the Ducks' trajectory, and Rick Tocchet's impact in Philadelphia. Later, Justin and Sam tee up the three Game 6s on Friday night, with the Lightning, Bruins, and Mammoth all facing elimination. Finally, they discuss Connor McDavid's future in Edmonton, where Evgeni Malkin ranks among the greatest Russian players of all time, and whether the Oilers' window is still open.
