Are the Blue Jackets Irrelevant? + Why the Leafs Won't Make the Playoffs

Former president, general manager and head coach Doug MacLean joins for his weekly chat (1:12) with Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about why the Maple Leafs have the highest chance of not making the playoffs for the 2025-26 season, if he would swap Morgan Rielly and Darnell Nurse, who he would add to Team Canada's forwards list, the New York Islanders' dominant road trip, if the Habs core is good enough to win a Stanley Cup, and responds to Bill Simmons proclaiming that the Blue Jackets are the most irrelevant franchise in professional sports. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Connor Bedard getting fired up with an official after arguing a penalty, before heading to the Text Line to hear from listeners!
