Line Combos: GM/Coaching criticism

[BrannigansLaw]

This team is so f***ed. With our cap structure, we're likely going to see the same losers again choke in the first round. Assuming we even make it next year with Florida, Tampa, Boston, and an up and coming Ottawa team. We are f***ing garbage compared to those top three teams.

Trade them all and rebuild if you can. And I mean everyone. Core are proven losers. That's not going to change.

Oh and make sure to fire Dubas and Shanny before trading.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Torts. I want Torts.

No, you don't. You can think he's the greatest coach on earth, and you don't want Torts in this market. He would not be able to help himself. He didn't forget how to coach for a year in Vancouver, but there's a reason it was a catastrophe.

 

[bodechek]

This team choked again. If Dubas is unwilling to make the hard and drastic decisions, then he should be replaced

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Torts. I want Torts.

Same here. I want to see him rip these pretty boys a new one.

 

[egd27]

Can't wait to hear what bs Shanny and Dubas are going to come up with after this embarrassing loss to the lousy Habs. How many kicks at the can do these two clowns and our pathetic core need ??

If the word "process" comes out of Dubas' mouth I think I'll lose it.

 

[hamzarocks]

When does dubas give season ending presser.

Dubas has mastered the art of humiliation. His entire tenure with the leafs has been a joke. 3 years wasted so far

You want Dubas making those hard and drastic decisions? Seriously we have regressed in the last 3 playoffs with him in charge. Time to cut bait because it will be a repeat if we can even make the playoffs next year.

Keefe just looked like a Minor Hockey Coach continually throwing his boys over the boards as the rest of the team watch them play scared , turn pucks over and not compete . Keefe is not an NHL Coach - Sorry .

The PP has been a disaster for around 40 games, the Head Coach couldn't fix a PP with Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, and Spezza at his disposal.

He doesn't have it

Somebody in senior management needs to step up because Shanny will not because he and Dubas are tied at the hip. Both and the coaching staff need to be replaced.

 

[Duffman955]

Who are some GM and coach candidates if these 2 clowns are let go

 

[TheGoldenJet]

FIRE DUBAS!!

It's time. Get someone that actually has a sack to run this team.

Agreed.

Leaf fans deserve better.

He made all the decisions that got them to where they are now. He should be the first one gone. That ain't a hard or drastic decision.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Anybody know when the end of season presser is? Its the day after correct? So today sometime early afternoon i guess?

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Somebody in senior management needs to step up because Shanny will not because he and Dubas are tied at the hip. Both and the coaching staff need to be replaced.

It is coming Larry will not rush a decision but he knows all da facts .. Shanny is type to fall on his sword it is way he is .. I am not sure if he will agree to replace Dubie and mgmt team or get fired himself .. either way it will get figured out at board level in next few weeks .. Larry will not want Dubie as a rook trying to unload Rielly and Mitch .. it requires an experienced hokey man

 

[Dach Vader]

I think Keefe 100% deserves the most criticism here.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Who are some GM and coach candidates if these 2 clowns are let go

Patrick Roy

And

John Tortorella

 

[nuck]

Who are some GM and coach candidates if these 2 clowns are let go

Gallant as coach for sure IMO but I don't think there is a quality GM waiting to get plucked from the unemployment line. Muller? How about Roy, no shortage of emotion at least?

 

[Duffman955]

Gallant as coach for sure IMO but I don't think there is a quality GM waiting to get plucked from the unemployment line.

Please get Gallant

Guy is brilliant

 

[WTFMAN99]

Who are some GM and coach candidates if these 2 clowns are let go

Gorton and Boudreau/Gallant?

 

[nuck]

Please get Gallant

Guy is brilliant

Sorry I added a couple of potential hot takes for GM after your like.

 

[solidaritypucks]

When Bergevin has managed to cobble together a more complete playoff roster than you... it's time to go.

 

[sxvnert]

According to kypreos perry begged the leafs to sign, even willing to take minimum, instead they chose simmonds. Shocker

Good job dubas.

 

[Menzinger]

No, you don't. You can think he's the greatest coach on earth, and you don't want Torts in this market. He would not be able to help himself. He didn't forget how to coach for a year in Vancouver, but there's a reason it was a catastrophe.

Aside from the fact his team results having been meh over the last few years or that his preferred style of play is beyond boring, the biggest problem is he couldn't handle the media pressure in Columbus. He'd be eaten alive here.

There are other "tough" coaches out there if it comes time to move on from Keefe beyond Torts. I mean Bruce Boudreau immediately comes to mind; the guy wasn't afraid to tell Ovie to his face when he had a garbage game

 

[Superstar]

I look foward to the Dubas year-end presser:

Dubas: Mitch is a great guy and does great work in the community...

Good job dubas.

BTW, Kypreos just delivered the most accurate insightful monologue I've probably ever heard on the air, about 1 hour ago as guest on CJCL Sportsnet 590. Sounded a bit vicious yet totally a spot-on analysis of what happened and what the way forward should be.
