I don't even know what's going on during they scrum with Marner. He is coasing into the play, is facing the big hit on Reilly and sees the scrum...but while every player on the ice's immediate reaction is to skate forward towards the scrum, his initial reaction seems to be to skate away from it. Then he bumps into Tkachuk who pushes him back towards the scrum, and from there Marner looks like he knows he's somewhere he doesn't want to be and gets tangled with Tkachuk.
Imo, Dubas has done himself no favours here. He appears weak both to his current employer and to any future employer. If I was either it would give me pause on wanting him running a team. Airing his personal life and the problems that go with it is exactly that…….personal. If he did this to garner sympathy he made a huge mistake, if he did it because his family life is imploding and it’s his first priority (which it should be) then the decision should already be made………
I guess I’m giving the quoted tweet the benefit of the doubt. I personally don’t feel like these playoffs should be considered a success and should justify an extension. If they ARE going to (or were planning to) extend him based on these playoffs, then they really couldn’t have cared much about results to begin with.
Difference being of course that one guy is a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier.
He was asked a question and he answered hit. It neither made him look weak nor strong just human.
Honestly think the Leafs would really regret giving Mathews an 8 yr contract by year 4 or 5 . Hope i'm wrong for everyones sake but Mathews doesn't scream out he'll have a long career at the top of his game to me for some reason . Feel even stronger about this if his wrist is permanently damaged.
Kyper bourne said the same thing yesterday. Nice listen. I think we are all picking this family thing apart and see it for what it is (consideringvits not health related) which kyper said he doesnt think so as he didnt hear anything of that nature. If you cant handle the job its time to step down. Does he thinkvif he comes back it will be a lot lighter? Heck next year will be even worse. I think shanny/board probably thinking what we doing we this guy now after those comments. This is a billion dollar organization. Time to move on
IMO...... MLSE gave the players favorable dollars, term, and payment schedules. Why you would also give full NMC's on an RFC contract, essentially giving the player full control of their destiny even earlier than the CBA allows.
He also mentioned Brad Treliving as a possible hire if they look externally.
I think I could stomach either Pridham or Treliving in that role.
I dont get the impression many are looking for continuity
Lol no kidding. We need fresh eyes, new vision and ultimately new culture while also trading core players.
Kyper said he's very certain it's not because usually for that stuff the media gets tipped off for it so they dont look stupid. I really think mroe and more Dubas is out
