Yep.
And Larry and Lou but not Shanny.
Interesting.

Cuz shamaham is culpable too... Dubas going to get some breathing room. But he's next them shamaham.

Is Max still with us? I’m assuming he had a coronary when Keefe was anointed the chief

Chief Keefe

Saw some Ass hat on twitter just said leafs lost 3 playoff series because they got out muscled.

Lol why do people comment if they don’t have a clue?

Trying to troll, having it backfire.

You make literally zero sense. The games I watched he was often one of their best players. That's on a consistent basis.

What's with the awful nickname?

He was.

I assumed you were being facetious

Yeah you're gonna wanna be careful sourcing 'everyone here' as gospel. We are one day removed from a certain someone saying dubas should be fired cause he has no experience.... And Babcock named GM...

Babs played Matthews 18 minutes a night when the games were big, sat him on the bench for the Gauthiers of the team when the net was empty and the game was on the line. I don't think many would have blamed him had he quit.

Take a look at the stat sheets. Matthews has quit on no one.

The '3 mins left, 1 goal down - let's play the 4th' thing was f'n insane. And it's not like he did it 1-2 times either...
WTF was he thinking?
Can't remember other top coaches has done this multiple times.

Good one
- Atomic Wedgie

People talking about blaming individual players. My take is this guy Nylander, shouldn't be on the list.

If he plays Matthews more than 17mins and puts him on the ice with the goalie pulled he’s better
- burn

matthews is #22 in toi/game among forwards this year at 19:50/game.

but yeah, tavares, mitch and matthews should be playing closer to 22 minutes a night since the rest of the team is poop.

Now my Babsocks are useless.
- GreatGigInTheSky

My guess is they always were.

Shouldn’t blame Nylander? Debatable.

Can’t blame Nylander? You must be new here.

Well now that that is over with, fire Dubus.
- bobbyisno1

at least this comes to a head this year.

if the team is underachieving, a new voice should fix it.

if the team is just poop, dubas should be gone in may.

What's with the awful nickname?
- LeafGuy89

I tried spelling his name in my phone and it plucked the m instead of n and I saved it to dictionary before reading it. So now when I swipe to spell his name that's what it gives me.

Maybe it's the MLSE way.. but to me it seems odd that Dubas didn't announce or do the firing... Shanaplan did...

I know when Ducks change coaches it's always Murray who does the announcement. Not the team president.

Yep, this is what bothered me a lot, that and barely playing Matthews over 18 mins the last few years

Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Kapanen was a good line before the injuries...

Brendan Shanahan on the #leafs decision to fire Mike Babcock: "We're mistake-prone on defence, the attention to details aren't there. Even the explosive offence our team was known for has been missing for a while now."


Took an offensive dynamo and turned them into a pop gun offense whilst making them worse defensively.

Surprised he got fired.

I thought Murray was the President.

Well, to be fair the last time he did the firing and hiring, it was a one man show

I'll change it if people feel it's trolling.

problem is when you have 2 4th lines you either cut down to 2 lines or play one of your 4th lines.
