Was The Draft Lottery Rigged For The Maple Leafs? | The Hockey Show

from The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz · host Dan Le Batard, Stugotz

The Toronto Maple Leafs have missed the Playoffs twice in the last 10 years and have won the Draft Lottery both times. Roy, David, Ethan, and Rose discuss whether that's just a little too fishy or just pure chance. Winning the Draft Lottery may have been the only thing that could save the Leafs from the PR disaster surrounding their new GM hire, which the crew picks apart. Plus, the Tampa Bay Lightning are out of the playoffs, and we are ready to laugh. This week's guest is ESPN legend Steve Levy, who joins the gang to discuss the Maple Leafs further, share stories from the legendary playoff games he has called, and share his thoughts on the early rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
