Episode Notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery Tuesday night and the hockey world is buzzing. Sean, Frank and Sean share their thoughts on what the organization should do with the pick and if it helps the Leafs keep Auston Matthews longterm. They discuss the Canucks’ bad luck at the draft and the rumour that Pierre Dorion will become the next GM in Vancouver. Plus, they look back on the Avalanche domination of the Wild in Game 2, Minnesota’s goaltending gaffe, and they look ahead to Canadiens vs. Sabres and Ducks vs. Golden Knights tonight as the playoffs roll on.
