Why did it have to be the Leafs?

from What Chaos! Hosted by The Ringer

In a stunning twist of fate, the Toronto Maple Leafs won the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery and are poised to draft top prospect Gavin McKenna first overall. We're joined by Leafs fan Steve Dangle for his reaction to last night's lotto and the roller coster of emotions that came with such a big win just a day after a disastrous John Chayka intro presser. We also react to the Avs taking a 2-0 series lead and preview the opener of the Canadiens-Sabres series. 0:00 Welcome to What Chaos! 3:36 Leafs win the lotto 27:40Avs-Wild 32:00 Steve Dangel joins 54:00 Feeling for the Flames 1:01:45 Contraversial OHL presser 1:13:20 PWHL Detroit 1:17:35 Sabs-Habs tonight 1:34:45 Slate JOIN OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/WhatChaos What Chaos! is presented by Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/whatchaos JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/3brHQ2q5V2 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WhatChaosShow https://twitter.com/DJ_Bean https://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn https://twitter.com/shawn_depaz
