The Toronto Maple Leafs GM search appears to be down to two finalists, former Coyotes GM John Chayka and Dallas Stars AGM Scott White. We break down both candidates and react to the reports of MLSE planting stories to weed out internal moles. Next we give our take on the Stanley Cup playoffs, from the Ottawa Senators getting swept to the Kyle Dubas Pittsburgh Penguins and more. We wrap up with some Blue Jays talk after another series win over the Cleveland Guardians and tee up the return of Trey Yesavage on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Being a Leaf fan, you think "we can get whatever GM we want, we're the Leafs!" and then reality is "well he was pretty successful at managing those wendy's". A special kind of sports fan hell. And thank you for being realistic about BriseBois, the fans acting like the Leafs could lure him or Zito away are just peak delusional.
Please not Chayka. His history sucks.
pelly is just casting for a GM ffs. They have zero intention of actually improving the team
This leaf team is a joke they hire Chayka will not watch the Leafs again …full stop
They hire Chayka it will be 10years fuckup
Remember that Hutson is still under his entry level contract.
Nill was Hollands right hand man why not be excited for Nills righy hand guy?
Pelley is the biggest problem
91 Johnny Bumhole is a liability as a 3rd line center
Pelley is a geek who will destroy another decade of hockey for leaf fans. I’m pretty certain he will make the wrong decision’s…but as a leaf fan I’m certainly enjoying watching the playoffs as a fan in peace…no disappointment or knowing somehow the team will fail in a miserable fashion like they always do. Stop buying jerseys untill the make it to a round 3 people 😂
CHAYKA 😂😂😂😂 WE ARE SO DONE. ITS EVEN WORSE THAN I KNEW IT WOULD BE
Good show lads
