## Resource

Nick Alberga & Carter Hutton continue to break down the fallout from Carolina's Stanley Cup victory, including Mitch Marner's disappointing finish to the series after recording just one assist and a minus-5 rating over the final three games. Did the same playoff concerns that followed him in Toronto resurface on hockey's biggest stage? Plus, the boys preview Game 3 of the Calder Cup Final as the Toronto Marlies return home looking to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on the Chicago Wolves. Hutton also weighs in on the Leafs' goaltending situation and what he believes John Chayka and Mats Sundin should prioritize this offseason. Additionally, with growing speculation that Toronto could seek permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy, the boys discuss whether the Stanley Cup-winning bench boss makes sense for the Leafs. They also touch on the latest surrounding Morgan Rielly's future amid increasing chatter that both sides could be open to exploring a split. Also, Frank Crupi — better known as the Hockey Illuminati — stops by to share his thoughts on the state of the Maple Leafs and where the organization goes from here. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
