Buckle Up: Dubas on the Clock, Will Define His Penguins Era

PHILADELPHIA –– Start the clock. Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas will be on the job for two years in June, but the first quarter of his seven-year contract was spent trying in vain to patch a leaky dam and, upon obviously failing that nearly impossible task, setting the table for...

Interesting but flawed article. They seem to think that Pittsburgh needs to rebuild before Crosby retires... honestly, this is about preparing for a post Crosby era. There is no chance they are going to be able to build a decent team, around a 37 year old, by mostly drafting, and picking up a few young players in trades.

The right thing to do here, is trade anybody over 25, that someone else wants.... assuming they are willing to go.

Of course.

Seems odd to think Dubas would be on the hot seat when he hasn’t used the typical coaching change card.

Not that it means his moves haven’t been any good.

I mean didn’t Edmonton have the rights to reclaim him after Minny got him on waivers earlier in the year?

Why not take him back and try to get him through again

I can really see McDavid holding his hockey stick over his head and screams
"Ex-Leafs Assemble!!!"

There's half the dressing room.

It's looking like the division is going to be a bit of a dogfight down the stretch here.

Toronto 74 points
Florida 73 points
Tampa 70 points
Detroit 66 points


But... Tampa are winners of six in a row, and are 7-2-1 in their last 10... Detroit are 8-1-1 in their last 10. These two are definitely rounding into form at the right time here. We've won 6 of our last 7 now. We play Tampa and Detroit both once, with Detroit on the last day of the year.

It appears we won’t know who we play till the very end. Which is kinda a nice change. Although I’d be happy if Leaf’s lock up the division.

that Ullmark contract is sure gonna be something, yikes he is bad lol

Bet Klevens thinks twice about answering the bell against Lowry again.

3 minors in 30 seconds for the Sens.

There's just no way the Sens are gonna pass the Leafs and we miss the playoffs.
