If he learns to drive a zamboni I see no reason why he can’t pick up shifts at the arena.

No he shouldn’t be fired but he’s in deep trouble.

Is he the one getting outplayed by a 42yr old minor league Zamboni driver

No but the team he assembled is.

Dubas and Keefe and the entire coaching staff should be fired. It sounds insane, but they have now lost all credibility in this league.

Clowns like this don't belong in a pro league.

Is Dubas on the ice right now?

The GM is responsible for the parts. Why they play less than their sum is convoluted

Any idiot can point up the command chain, but if you're interested in why things happen and how they should be fixed the answer is more complicated than sorting the organization by job title.

A rookie gm and a rookie coach... recipe for disaster.

I think Dubas allowed the training wheels to come off much to quickly. Shanahan should have hired an experienced associate gm to work with him.

I really think Dubas is a smart guy, but i think he is making lots of rookie mistakes that couldve been avoided with a mentor.

I think Keefe was Dubas biggest mistake... the adrenalin of Babs leaving has worn off, the unexpected systems are now expected by opponents and they can prepare accordingly....and the leafs mostly look downright unprepared and outmatched.

Thought it was very interesting that Ken Holland said the first thing he was gonna do when he was hired as the coach of edmonton was go out and get a "experienced coach". This is a man with a lot of experience in the game.... he wasnt out looking for the next new young exciting coach, he wasnt even going to consider that guy. He was focused entirely on experience.

Between the Barrie trade and the overpayment of the stars there is a case to be made.

Imagine attempting to make up an excuse for this lol

He’s responsible for every player on the ice being there.

lol... what?? When did he start - 10 years ago?

Where's my excuse

 

[stickty111]

He shouldn't be, or it would be a panic move.
Then again it would be perfect for this pathetic organization.

 

[dubey]

Where's my excuse

That the person who is ultimately accountable for this team isn't actually at fault

What a joke lol

 

[phillipmike]

 

[Hockey Crazy]

No hes the only guy not to blame. This year is a write off though

 

[Stephen]

Actually we could probably speed up the retool if we fired him and put a real hickey person in charge. He’s like the Pete Campbell of hockey.

 

[Gallagbi]

It's interesting, there's not much I disagree with acquisition wise, but the effort level and compete isn't there. Even with guys who "work" hard.

Do you rip the heart out of the team and move Marner/Matthews? Was this what they meant when they said you couldn't rebuild in Toronto?

 

[TML Dynasty]

everyone should be fired and traded off this pathetic excuse for a team. For personal health reasons I gotta take a break from this shite

 

[A1LeafNation]

Too many embarrassing performances this season.

Someone needs to be accountable for this.

Pittsburgh before firing
Chicago prior to all-star break
Florida prior to all-star break
Buffalo last Sunday
Pittsburgh on Tuesday
Tonight vs Carolina​

 

[rosscow]

So how many ufas are traded Monday?

He's responsible for assembling the team. I think the majority of people here would agree that they look one way on paper and another on the ice. So the question is, why? That's not an excuse, that's the question at the heart of the problem. What specific to this core of players leads them to perform so apathetically so goddamn always, across coaches, systems, goalies, and management? The answer to that question is the answer to where fault needs to lie.

If you want to jack off your rage boner in public that's all well and fine but don't act like "fIRe eVErYoNE" is an intelligent opinion and everyone who deigns to disagree is biased if you can't answer the question above. Have some humility.
