The less we know, the better!!!Wonder what ever happened to this person
Did he explain his poor Caps preseason yet?
Imagine getting paid $8.5M a year to put on your hockey equipment and do leisurely skates for the next 3 hours. Must be nice.
Pierre Xavier Laflamme Dubios
Every player gets direction and if they need more that's what assistant coaches do basically on a daily basis with the coach taking on a broader scope of it.I don't understand the hate directed to these quotes...
Guy is pretty self aware that he doesn't operate well unless he is given very specific instructions, and admits he has been trying to work on it.
But if you're an NHL club, you really don't want to have to give that detailed of information to players. He has effectively ended his career (at least after this contract).

His most memorable games were the ones when he got in trouble trying to start shit with other teams if only because it looked like he kind of gave a shit for an hour.I appreciate his self-awareness, I truly do. I don't hate the human. Like I said, I actually liked him more off the ice as a result of all this. And I don't just mean as a joke, haha.
But buddy--they literally instituted a gold-star system for him and Rob Blake him f***ing self went down on the ice to work with him. Coaches and teams good and bad from coast to coast and country to country of various styles and statures have tried to save him from himself.
But the hate comes from--if he's truly working on it--it doesn't at ALL show on the ice. He immediately surpassed JR as my most-hated on-ice king of all time for the less-than-zero effort. Dude was an outright liability at nearly all times not because of talent but heart. The dissonance between the talent and results is one thing but the complete lack of engagement is something I've quite literally never seen in the NHL for more than a game or two at most.
Can someone provide an explanation on the gold star stuff?
if he did stuff like skate in all three zones, get a takeaway, or complete a pass, he got a star. If he got a point, he'd get three. With thirty stars, he would get ice cream after the game.Can someone provide an explanation on the gold star stuff?
Give this man a gold star!Caps fans: "We're not upset with Dubois."
Jackets, Jets and Kings fans:
Former fan sentiment is usually founded in truth.Caps fans: "We're not upset with Dubois."

Are we not surprised that he's succeeding now that he's out of Los Angeles? One of the worst organizations in the league, I know he signed on because the lifestyle and the beach are enticing but an organization that would implement a gold-star system like that on a player is soooooo disrespectful (at least for something like the Cardinals putting a homework/study time clause in Kalamari Kyler Murray's contract they tried to wipe it clean once news of it got out).So look like the laziest NHL player of all time his the best player for the Caps so far for Spencer Carbery. Still early but great start for him.
Pierre-Luc Dubois is the Capitals’ best player so far, according to his head coach - Dose.ca
After his first (and last) season with the Kings, Pierre-Luc Dubois was traded to the Washington Capitals. Many said he was finished and would never live up to the expectations set for him when he was drafted. However, this new move to Washington seems to be extremely beneficial for the...dose.ca
