They are:
A - ugly
B - probably cursed
3 - really ugly.
They should be burned in Effigy (a small town just north of The Middle of Nowhere), along with their 'designer'.

While I badly want them to win, and to finally beat those turds from Boston, them doing so would save Kyle 'Spreadsheet' Dubas' and Keefe's jobs and I want both of them gone so I am conflicted.

They look awesome. I wear mine on gigs sometimes and people always come up and tell me how much they like the jersey.

Seriously? Like this is actually hard for you to figure out what you would rather? Consider yourself judged.

Pack a extra heavy tinted visir for Nylander! . A extra large bottle of smelling salt for those nostrils Matthews! The record"the best of Tavares" to put on repeat for.. Tavares! A fake playoff beard for Marner!
And something nice to hang on the Woll.
Lets just win this series, that would be nice...

I mean im no Dubas fan as most know, but you must admit he built this team for success in the playoffs, his moves at the TDL were some of his best. just enjoy the ride, lets see what the leafs accomplish, lots of time after to discuss the management and coaching options...

All in the games where he played centre with Willy.
His goal was set up by Willy after stealing the puck off Hedman, and all his ES assists were on Willy goals.
That has to be 2/3 of our second line.
I don't follow your logic. If Leafs win that means the management team has done a good job. They will win because of the players and management actions not despite them. You should be happy that this team is potentially set up to compete for the next 5 -10 years. Remember that change is not always good. If the Leafs lose I am afraid for the direction of the team.

Maybe so they don't have to talk about your playing? Just kidding!
A gig is one thing (I've worn stuff at gigs that people have complimented on too), but they look awful on the ice.
To each his own.

Yes. The longer term benefit to the team would be for those two to be gone. If they win a round or two, then Kyle Dubious and Keefe stay which will hurt the team in the long run.

Took him long enough! And some success this year will not erase his failings. Looking at his overall tenure, he has been a failure.
I've been a fan longer than most here have been alive. I survived the Ballard years and never lost hope, but the loss to Montreal broke me. It just broke me.
It wasn't just who they lost to, but how they lost. Since then I have hardly watched any regular season games, because I just can't. Last year I don't think I watched any, but did start watching in the playoffs only to see them bow out in the first round yet again. Same old, same old. Nothing new at all.
This year I have watched 2-3 complete games and parts of a handful more. Again, I am getting interested for the playoffs but based on their history over the last decade I am not expecting much and think that Dubas and Keefe have to be removed for the team to have any hope of progressing.
They have accomplished nothing under Dubas and Keefe, absolutely nothing (and no, the regular season doesn't mean a damned thing nor do the idiotic advanced stats that some people cling to as if they are gospel), and I do not see that changing and them becoming a perennial Cup threat. For them to take that step, Dubas and Keefe have to go and winning a round or two this year will stop that from happening and just prolong the underachieving.
See my comments immediately above.

Team success over everything. If they succeed and do those things as you mentioned, I am totally fine with Dubas and keefe staying.

Kyle Dubas is fine and if we extend him I think he's earned it, Keefe on the other hand should not return. Coaches have got fired for having more playoff success than Keefe and they had less talent than Keefe to work with.
Dubas is ok in my books after this deadline.
Sammy was a blessing though.
