oh boy.. now you've done it.

its going to be a veritable blizzard of snowflake freak outs in here ...

you dared to criticize Dubas.... how dare you.

team needed to improve defensively... so go acquire a defenseman who can't tell the difference between his goalie and the opposition. - seems like a sound plan

team "might have needed an improvement in the back-up goaltender situation"... I don't know for sure... 'cause I'm not a hockey guru... ... nope.. stick with the same guy

but how can you criticize the GM... I mean how dare you?

hopefully the temperature rises today and some of the flakes actually melt ...

and I forgot... how can you blame the players or GM.. its all the goalie's fault.

- BorjeFan4Ever


I have yet to see literally anyone say it's all the goalies fault. Even those who are questioning Fred's play have generally stapled a reminder that it's not all his fault to it.

Just as dramatic of an over reach as those suggesting Fred has been amazing...

Freddie isn’t paid Price or Bob money but gets the heat. $40m can do no wrong when winning. D injuries are the reason not D depth. Dubas is a genius

It has nothing to do with his age. It’s his philosophy and team construction...understand? And no one is happy with this garbage. We all want to win.
- Hockey_Reverend


Yes we do all want to win. And the only stretch the team dubas constructed was even close to healthy... They had points in 10 straight.

So there is reason to calm our tits after all.

He was burnt out two months into the season?

Yeah that's an excuse to.

- joel878

All this 65 games is crazy vs 55 games is fine, is pure BS.
10 more games in a 6 months span matters only if the goalie is a weak little whiner!

Like I said last night. The Dubas-haters are ecstatic that the Leafs are losing. They should just cheer for another team if having a young GM upsets them this much.
- Steven_Seagull




I don't hate Dubas. And I don't care that he's young. His glasses do suck though.

If you want to look like Harry Potter, that's a style choice - an odd one... but just a style choice.

What I don't respect isn't age related. Its lack of production.

Summer objectives -
1) sign stars... did that quite well - BUT at a cost - most notably roster players and a 1st round pick -> B+

2) Improve Defense - not worth typing - F

3) Improve goaltending picture - again - not worth typing - no grade - 'cause he did nadda


contracts... good/okay
roster improvement ... approaching ultimate suckage

now the olde man will go have a nap




btw... was Keefe referring to the management team when he mentioned that immature thing?

The thing I'm wondering about though is, what is the problem, and who's fault is it? Did you guys have any thoughts on that?

If Freddie doesn’t allow 3 goals on the first 5 shots every other game, that would help.

It's like the 15-4-1 or whatever it was run never happened for some people, it's great.

Those same people were pretty quiet in here, but lately they’ve started to act up again. I’m sure it’s a coincidence...

I always think of Bobby Mac, saying he does radio hits in all the Canadian markets and if they had a bad week they're tweaking out and asking what the problem is and the next week it's totally different.

30 goals for Robertson


To bad he’s small and Dubas drafted him so he’s an automatic bust...

That and Marner earning the first 2 cents of the approximately $132,800 he makes to play one game. Not much willingness to pay a price on the Leafs side. Paychecks accepted, work rejected.
