You would have to think that if Dubas declined the offer, Pridham is up. Just speculation of course, I would like them to conduct interviews outside the organization, but in the event of time constraints, nobody knows what has gone on behind closed doors better than Pridham right now.
Yeah I would think Shanahan and Pridham would take over in the interim and then interviews for a permanent replacement would begin.
For the love of God, talk it over with your wife first…….
Yeah not too worried about the vacuum. Both of those (as well as Spezza) will have been voices in the room up until this point, and will have a solid understanding of where things stand.
I wouldn’t be so concerned with the draft the scouting department can handle that, but with the impeding actuation of NMC’s on a couple of key assets I’d hope dealing with these is the priority, my trust level isn’t high, at least not since the Bill Watters fax machine snafu………
First time all year I beleive. Somehting just isn't right
The old run bad news on a Friday, good news on a Monday play book then eh?
Pridham I would suspect. And bad news on a Friday of a long week-end is even better.
If I find out that She or her family were harassed on social media or the like by fanatic Leaf fans, I'm dropping this team. There is no chance with that kind of toxicity that you are going to retain or attract top tier talent.
Not every fanbase. Which is why players flock to places like Florida or the like where they can walk freely to the store and hockey is on the back burner.
That's fair, Pridham may very well be the answer.
There are shitty people everywhere, it's not exclusive to the Leafs fanbase, it's a societal thing. I don't think it is logical to drop a team you have supported for years to decades because a very, very small minority of the overall fanbase may have behaved poorly.
So if Dubas is extended, is that an announcement for Bad News Friday, or Good News Monday?
That depends on your opinion of the GM, it would be bad news to my ears, others, not so much……
Again, not every fan base has them. And since we are the meca and most fanatic, it stands to reason we also have the most toxic environment for player and management's family and friends to simply try and live their lives without f***ing death threats or the like because someone like Dubas didn't trade Holl.
I'm ambivalent to that. He bet on the group and lost, and I question whether he's too emotionally invested to moved forward from that.
I'm not disagreeing with you that it's scum behaviour, but there are shitty people everywhere in society. There are 100% shitty people in every fanbase in every sport. How many time do you see videos of people in the US fighting with eachother in the stands? Pouring beer on other people? Plenty of current and former players have shared screenshots of f***ed up messages they get on social media. There are scumbags everywhere. You also don't know definitively that that is what Dubas was referring to.
