Forget about the cup, not a series under Dubas. Looks like we are going to get that this time around though. Thank goodness he dropped NuHockey finally. I am glad you support his position and that he himself defacto admitted he was wrong by making the changes.
Forget about the cup? The cup is what matters. 2013 Leafs didn't win a series either, so changes nothing.
"NuHockey" isn't a word. Not sure what you think it means, but Dubas wasn't wrong and he hasn't really changed anything about the way he builds his team and the type of players he looks to acquire at the deadline. The main difference this year is that league-wide situations made more (and a player like O'Rielly) available to buy, and our team situation (and a masterful addition of McCabe to replace our previous shutdown defenseman for less than half the price) gave us more space to add more than usual, in a year where we were dominant enough to justify the asset expenditures.
Again, have we been bad this series, getting outplayed and winning with "statistically improbable" flukes, or are we "on the right track"? You seem to be trying to argue both simultaneously.
I think it's time for you to seek the archives and watch a 2013 playoff game. You will see the difference.
I have watched the 2013 series. There is a difference. We're a much better team now in pretty much every way possible. And fact is, Boston came out of that series pretty healthy. The fact that you can't even name these "warriors" is pretty illuminating. Was it Gardiner? Maybe Liles? Or Kessel? Macarthur? The great Joe Colborne?
Huh? We've had a ton in this series.
Just saying a lot of people here feel you support management no matter the case and for it your views have been considered bias.
No I was just demonstrating what is said. I didn't misrepresent anything really and sometimes if not often your facts are actually opinions more than facts. See you said Marner has been excellent, its opinion not fact. The whole team has not had a great series and could have easily lost the last two games.
No, a select few people on this site who have a deep-rooted hatred of management have convinced themselves of that incorrect belief, and believe that anybody who justifiably doesn't hold the same thoughts about Dubas is biased. Now you are spreading those fringe false comments and insults that don't even have anything to do with our current discussion. If you're claiming to "not get into that", then stop getting into it.
The team as a whole has not been perfect this series, but we have outplayed and outscored Tampa over the series, we are up 3-1, and Marner has factually been excellent and the least of our worries in pretty much every possible way, according to the eye test and every possible measure.
