I hate this team
Some Toronto media- Shanny had all year, then from the deadline, then from the end of playoffs, then last week....and Dubas was tbe guy he wanted. And now in 1 week you change your mind based on $. And now whoever the new GM is, it's a guy that Shanny really didn't think was better than Dubas.
Others- you need new eyes. You fall in love with players and ideas. It wasn't working, and the fact that it was Dubas' contract is why he isn't GM, looks bad on Shanny. And Shanny is about to be on his 4th GM and has had no playoffs success.

Yeah, it was definitely time for their marriage to end.
You can't just be disappointed year after year and keep going back for more. Not when there's so many other options for both sides.

Somewhere in this Dubas mess lies Keefe. Shanahan may have wanted him gone and Dubas wouldn’t fire him. Personally I’m with Rev on Dubas and not crazy about the way Keefe handled the Leafs in the POs. If Dubas told Shanny that it was Dubas/Keefe or nothing, Shanahan was correct to tell Dubas to go walk. I expect Keefe to be dropped into the all gone machine fairly soon.

For the first time in nine years, Brendan Shanahan's team feels like the old Leafs
After what we learned on Friday from Brendan Shanahan, this one again feels like a franchise that’s adrift and confused.

But again, Shanny wanted him back...it was only the contract the agent sent to Shanny when it changed. If it was the contract Shanny expected, Dubas would be coach today.
Also...not sure if mentioned. Shanny fired the Marlies coaches. They were 42-24-4 this year. Meanwhile in Philly....

Yeah, Keefe hasn't really shown so far that he can outcoach the opponent on the biggest stage. He's had regular season success, but that should be expected with that roster. Beating a clearly tired Lightning team isn't enough for me.
It was obvious that Keefe was Dubas guy, but refusing to make a change is Hextall level stubbornness.

What I read in an article (from TSN, I think) was that Shanny watched the Dubas press conference Monday and realized that he didn't really want to continue, and/or this year took too much out of him and his family.

Nonis, Bowman, & Bergevin are all losers that need to stay the hell away.
Tampa only lost because of Vasi falling apart. Otherwise Toronto would have been out in the 1st again.

Hey, they interviewed 2 random homeless dudes, a peanut vendor and Dave Scott’s caddie. What more could you want?

Also, unbelievable that Bettman and the League haven’t stepped in and told this social media team to cut the shit.
It’s a Rick Roll.

I can not wait for the era of quirky corporate social media accounts to end. Everyone is still trying to be the 2012 Kings Twitter.

I don't think Dubas is amazing, but I definitely would have taken him as GM. So glad the Flyers completed their extensive search so quickly and just decided to stick with blind loyalty as usual

Yet if they moved the Coyotes here and sent the Flyers to Salt Lake or wherever (I vote for hell), we’d be rejoicing.The state of the Coyotes franchise:

Imagine Dallas and Carolina making it to the final. It would basically be half the Finnish national team on the ice.
Except Puljujarvi. He'll probably be a healthy scratch. You know your time in the NHL is coming to an end when even Carolina can't get anything out of you.

Zack Attack was scratched in LA, and played on our 2nd line at times and was loved by idiots.
