Line Combos: GM/Coaching criticism

[rawsensation]

Fire the coaching staff and bring in Gallant and let him pick his assistants, as for GM's I dunno who we could bring in.

 

[Faltorvo]

Our stars checked out on Babs. Won't take long for them to check out on Torts. I prefer Gabby or Gallant. Not sure about Tocchet.

then "ours stars" need to be checked OUT

these wimps have earned NO SAY

 

[daveleaf]

How has the coach has not been fired yet?

FIRE DUBAS!

 

[klmdg]

hey man, when i smell smoke, i look for fire

dumbass has been a big SJW warrior,, diversity hiring's and the likes

why would that mind set change if you have 2 players that are pretty well equals right now?

And that is the crux of the problem here because it seems the organization is more concerned with being at the forefront of leading the NHL into new age than winning in the here and now

Every player Dubas brought in that had ‘grit’ has been neutered in short order

Muzzin went from one of the most feared hitters in the league to a guy who now prefers to use his stick to break up plays

Brooks, who added tenacity and drive to the lineup, was rewarded with the pressbox for standing up for himself and taking a BS minor for getting punched in the face

Engvall and Simmonds started running around and being mean, and we were smashing the Habs, and then they just stopped, and we whimpered out without a fight

It’s pretty clear there is an organizational philosophy and the players are being told to toe to line

Hell, it’s not a coincidence that this team was the only one in the league to announce a diversity hire on the brink of the playoffs

PRIORITIES!

FIRE DUBAS!

That was his coach in the Soo. I question whether he has the will to fire Keefe. That's why Dubas needs to go.

 

[DarkKnight]

Boy genius makes you sound insecure and makes you lose the argument, so.

Given the source, literally the funniest thing I’ve read today. Self awareness SO low guy.

 

[hamzarocks]

When is Dubas addressing the media? How long is he going to be waiting until facing the looming questions hanging around him.

Shanahan honestly should be fired no matter what direction Dubas goes in. He's been with the team since 2014 and hasn't experienced any success since his hiring. His decision to chose Dubas over Lou/Hunter/Outside vet, his decision to give Babcock another chance post-2019 failure, his decision to give Dubas full autonomy these past 2 years and allow for a rookie AHL coach to try and win us a series.

The Shanaplan was just a slogan, there never was an actual well thought out detailed plan which could deal with the pressure of building a cup winner. He's the biggest fraud we have in the organization.

I'm hoping we fire Shanahan and then bring Rutherford as either the President or the GM. If Dubas is willing to have less control and say then he can get one final crack as the GM for next year, otherwise replace him with Jim Rutherford, and then bring in a coach like Gallant and a hard-nosed assistant coach.

Keefe, Shanahan, Malhotra, that idiot Hakstol should all be removed and potentially Gilman, Dubas and other scouts/personnel he brought in should be removed if the new GM/President doesn't think they are a good fit

 

[TheGoldenJet]

When Bergevin has managed to cobble together a more complete playoff roster than you... it's time to go.

Well said. Marc Bargain-bin only used 7th rounders to cobble his playoff push together, Doobler unloads 1st round picks left and right and still continues to fall flat on his face.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

He made all the decisions that got them to where they are now. He should be the first one gone. That ain't a hard or drastic decision.

at least some have the decency to disappear after everything they spewed was proven wrong by the "killjoys" who base their opinions on reality............

Dubas doesn't deserve another chance to screw this team up further, he's got to go down with the Prez. Paging Larry Tannenbaum...............

Apparently tomorrow after exit interviews.

Agreed.

Guys, check out @Torontobaghead on Twitter. That dude is on absolute fire right now.

 

[rumman]

with any luck it'll be the last time we have to look at his smug face?

 

[socko]

People in leadership positions (ie managers of people) are never supposed to grow overly friendly with subordinates. This is a rule as far back as time itself. There are multitudes of reasons. And Dubas violates even this most basic rule. Not cut out for management.

 

[DarkKnight]

Can’t see him being fired to be honest.

 

[hamzarocks]

Can’t see him being fired to be honest.

It appears we are keeping Shanahan, Dubas and maybe even Keefe(he is a maybe)

I don't get how you can fire Keefe but keep Dubas. Dubas vouched and put his career on the line by going with Keefe indicating they were on the same page and were focused to win under a similar styled approach

If keefe is gone, then Dubas should be as well imo.

Shanahan should 100% be gone. I can stomach the other 2 being brought back but that dude does nothing but make poor decisions, give crappy speeches about his time in Detroit (acting like he wasn't a huge problem with certain organizations/teammates).

Ive never been more frustrated to be a leaf fan in my life. Last year I was sad/depressed but this year IM f***ing pissed/lived and can't ignore the team. I created a thread that was there to look forward to last year once we were out but I just don't want to think about moving forward with all 3 of these individuals in the organization again.

 

[rumman]

I think it might actually happen, if not I'm taking a sabbatical from the team. I see nothing but more of the same if he's retained. I'm sure Bell and Rogers are getting tired of no playoff success i.e. no tv exposure for their ownership of the team?

Sorry but as Leaf fans why should we expect something to happen.
This is like expecting a 1st round win.

Keep hoping for both and getting neither.

eventually the dumb and dumber duo of Shanahan/Dubas will be replaced, no time like the present, paging Larry Tannenbaum...........

Unfortunately, seeing how Rogers and Bell run the other parts of their businesses, I would not be surprised if they do nothing other than jack up ticket prices, cell phone rates and cable prices. I hear they want George Stroumboulopoulos as President and GM.

 

[Legendary]

This whole organization needs a clean up top to bottom.

true that, can't argue with that logic........

I dread to think we’re going to allow him to do the draft next week you know what we’re going to get potential potential potential no heart no heart no heart No trust factor with this man fire Dubis now

 

[egd27]

That was his coach in the Soo. I question whether he has the will to fire Keefe. That's why Dubas needs to go.

He didn't have the stones to fire Babcock, Shanahan had to fly in and do it.
