The cap left after the core 4 is enough to win the cup with (that core is nothing but selke, art ross, hart, rocket, finesse / point producers, nice hair, crosbys but without the legs etc)
Do you think if the team put in an honest effort they should've lost 7-1 to Pittsburgh who were missing their 5 best players ? Really?
4th overall and almost beat powerhouse TB in the playoffs, but he's somehow a complete moron to some people.
Can you name a trade he's won?
It's always someone other then Dubases fault
Can you name a trade he's won?
Amigos get 6 chances but the one guy who wears his heart on his jersey only gets 2 cracks, that pretty much sums up management
Getting Tampa with Point Stamkos Kucherov and Vasi playing at less than their best is just as good as having the North Division path to the conference finals if you ask me.
Pretty hard to ignore Barrie’s point totals the year before and after he was a leaf and not see a difference. Also Barrie himself saying that he had a hard time changing how he played, for Babcock. You can hate Dubas for the trade but at the time lots of leaf fans thought that was a good trade. Last year after Kadri got suspended again in the playoffs no one was talking about that trade being horrible. The day after he gets a Hattrick in the playoffs though, it’s brought up again, weird.
It doesn't matter if they didn't perform their best because of the Leafs or because they couldn't reach that level in that 7 game span.
Actually he only had 2 half chances, he didn’t make it through either series if my memory correct. That sucked because we probably would’ve won them both and then nobody would be complaining about Dubas right now
Maybe. I thought he was fine for the most part but he definitely should have played Nylander more. But yeah, it's possible that a couple of extra shifts for Nylander per period would have been enough to swing things in our favor, we'll never know.
According to Zekes, this is true and it's why so many people are fed up with their routine. The truth is that Dubas has made some mistakes and he's made some good moves as well. This can probably be said about every GM so yeah, pretending everything he does is gold is idiotic. But it's just as dumb to shit all over him like so many people are now doing as if every move he makes is wrong.
I remember when you used to make thoughtful posts. It's unfortunate that you're so angry that these days you rarely do anything but take sarcastic shots at Dubas, hopefully the anger will subside at some point.
At this point in time, people will bitch about anything it seems.
It matters in the sense that if the Leafs core is the reason Tampas core couldn't keep up, then it 100% means Dubas is the problem and not the core players.
The OP 1st post is an attempt at satire.
I agree but I also felt that this year they didn’t roll over like the first 2. Tampa is definitely the best of the 3 teams and they had chances in game 7 this year at least. 3 straight game 7 losses is a fireable offence, but I also can see why they chose not too
Roll over? Columbus series was so close it came down to Tavares and Matthews both hitting the post. Montreal we lost in OT game 6 and 7 because 2 stupid errors. I dont get the roll over argument.. they rolled over for 2 losses this series, if you replace the timing of those games 2 and 4 with games 6 and 7 we would have a different sentiment right?
He is closer to Wendel then he is to Kerfoot.
