Summary
Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Managing Editor and Senior Writer at Daily Faceoff, Matt Larkin. The conversation starts with Carolina's Stanley Cup victory and the long road it took to get there. From there, they dive into Mitch Marner's postseason, including the absence of any post-game media availability following Vegas' Game 6 loss. Larkin weighs in on Marner's playoff performance, why he believes the star winger once again came up short when his team needed him most, and how he'll remember his run overall. Additionally, Larkin discusses the biggest lesson the Maple Leafs should take from Carolina's championship blueprint, why he believes Jay Woodcroft would make plenty of sense as Toronto's next head coach, his thoughts on the Joe Pavelski buzz, and why he's surprised Misha Donskov doesn't appear to be a serious candidate. Finally, he weighs in on the Leafs owning the No. 1 overall pick and explains why selecting Gavin McKenna should be an easy decision for John Chayka. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
