This is what I don't get. You'd never see a real professional get that rattled so easily. Act like you've been here before kid
You must work for CNN
Does dubas remain GM if the leafs get bounced by Florida?

How were they managed 20-30 years ago? 4 semi final appearances not good for you?God forbid people who are passionate about their team and care about how they do not show some emotion when things go good or bad.
Also for people who think Dubas should be fired I wonder how old many of them are because if you've seen how the Leafs were managed the past 20-30 years you probably wouldn't be so quick to call for his head.

But he’s never been here before??
Have you forgotten the last 20 years, this team hasnt
I mean Quinn had far more success so you can cross out those years.God forbid people who are passionate about their team and care about how they do not show some emotion when things go good or bad.

And it was less embarrassing to be a fan during the Burke years because at least those players played with heart. They sucked, but they sucked with heart.
This team? All the talent in the world but 0 heart and 0 desire to play winning hockey.
I meant act like you know how to be a professional GM and weren't just pulled from the kids table before desert was served

I'd rather over react to a sports event that was literally made for people to over react to, than to strangers posting on a board. Get a life
Whatever. Who cares?
You cannot win the whole thing with 3 x 11mil players. It's just a simple as that.
Pick any GM you want, we can't go 4 rounds with 33 mil invested in 3 forwards.

And every time the apologists say "we got goalied". How many times can you get goalied? FFS!
A good GM doesn't hand out those contracts. A good GM gets them cheaper for 5 years and goes on a run immediately. Or gives them that AAV at 8 years and hopes that at some point the AAV becomes a bargain and loads up then.
A good GM also knows when to move on from a failed core. But here we are
The only time we didn't get goalied was when we faced the actual worst goalie performance of the 1st round. Haha.
Alot of luck was involved. Sure the Leafs teams in the early 2000s made it past the 1st round more than once, but at NO TIME did I ever look at those teams and think they EVER had the chance to win the cup. They were middle of the road teams that were good enough to get to the playoffs, but would never be considered a serious cup contender.
Absolutely. But any new GM now can't get someone to take Tavares, who we need to get rid of.
We're just going to keep doing this thing for the next few years.
What success? The Leafs in the early 2000s were lucky that they owned the Sens and got a near free pass out of the 1st round for 3 seasons. Leafs owned them the way the Bruins owned us in recent years. Those Leafs teams were never serious cup contenders and were always only good enough to get to the playoffs, but were never good enough to go far.
At least with this Leafs team they have the talent and skill to go far if they ever put it together.

The leaf haters want Dubas gone which is telling, OP is one of the biggest haters on the main boards.
Look at the timing of this thread. Don’t take the bait.

I think a number of fans want him gone as well.
I don't know what the right answer is, but I think he does remain. So I voted yes.
The more this goes on... the more I feel the GM is not the issue.
The team plays the possession game in too literal of a sense and at all times... there is a time and place for it... it is not an always thing. Sometimes you have to make a non possession safe play and get back at it on the flip side.
I dunno if it is the players who are, as a group so situationally unaware they just keep doing the possession thing in the wrong moments, or if Keefe is asking them too... deep down I am pretty sure it is the former. Guess they haven't learned that lesson yet.

If he leaves after this season it will likely be on his own accord. If we lose this series to Florida it won't be his fault imo.
Which teams do you think will offer him the keys to the kingdom?
Now that you mention it, Dubas and Trudeau do have some unsettling similarities... but that's where the politics talk ends for me.
Good. Let him ruin a different team
The arrogance of the Dubas fan club to claim anyone who wants him gone is a hater is truly a sight to behold
