Description

Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Housley joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to discuss his coaching future, what he's been up to since parting ways with the New York Rangers, and his brief stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs.To start, Housley touched on the added intrigue surrounding Toronto's head coaching vacancy now that the organization holds the first overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. From there, he discussed the importance of defense and puck movement in today's NHL, while outlining his overall coaching philosophy and what he's looking for in his next opportunity.Additionally, Housley broke down his approach to running a power play — a particularly relevant topic given Toronto's long-standing inconsistency with the man advantage. He also reflected on his experience playing in Toronto, the intense media spotlight that comes with wearing the Maple Leaf, and how players handle that pressure.Finally, Housley shared his thoughts on Jake McCabe, whom he's coached before."Just courage.
