"Through two rounds, the perennial 90-point winger leads all playoff scorers with 18 points. A tougher test is on the horizon, however, as Marner and the Golden Knights open their series against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night."
"We highlighted a few names to keep an eye on, including David Carle, Manny Malhotra, Bruce Cassidy, Jay Woodcroft, and Kris Knoblauch. At this point, it's still far too early to handicap how things will unfold, but there's a shared expectation that this will be a thorough and wide-ranging process."
"Much like the GM search, the Leafs appear poised to take their time, with no clear-cut frontrunner emerging just yet. After that, Willie Desjardins joined the show to discuss the NHL coaching carousel and why the Maple Leafs head coaching position continues to be one of the league's most attractive jobs."
"The longtime bench boss also shared insight on coaching projected superstar Gavin McKenna in Medicine Hat, explaining why McKenna's elite vision separates him from his peers and how he believes the young phenom would handle the intense spotlight that comes with playing in Toronto. Plus, Desjardins reflected on the scrutiny of coaching in Canada and the pressure that follows every move behind an NHL bench."
Mitch Marner has advanced to the Western Conference Final and leads all playoff scorers with 18 points through two rounds. The Golden Knights begin their series against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. Toronto’s Stanley Cup Playoffs have been painful for Leafs fans, while the Montreal Canadiens are one win away from another Eastern Conference Final appearance. Attention then shifted to Toronto’s early-stage head coaching search, with names such as David Carle, Manny Malhotra, Bruce Cassidy, Jay Woodcroft, and Kris Knoblauch. The process is expected to be thorough and wide-ranging, with Toronto likely to take its time and no clear frontrunner yet. Willie Desjardins explained why the Maple Leafs head coaching job remains highly attractive and discussed coaching pressure in Canada and how Gavin McKenna’s vision could translate to Toronto’s spotlight.
