Leafs Coaching Search: Phil Housley Interested in the Job?

Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Housley joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to discuss Toronto's head coaching vacancy, his coaching future, and what he remembers from his brief stint with the Maple Leafs.

Housley explained why the Leafs job becomes even more intriguing knowing the organization owns the first overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. He also broke down the importance of defense and puck movement in today's NHL, his overall coaching philosophy, and what he's looking for in his next opportunity behind the bench.

Additionally, Housley shared his thoughts on power-play success and what it takes to build an effective man advantage—an area that has been a hot topic in Toronto for years. He also reflected on playing in the Toronto market, handling the media spotlight, and the unique pressure that comes with wearing the Maple Leaf.

Finally, Housley weighed in on Jake McCabe, a player he's coached before.

"Just courage. The way he plays the game..."
