Confirmed with Link: Spezza tenders resignation - Update 6/14 Named Penguins AGM

[nuck]

Expecting more resignations to come

That was before the firings too. We'll see what sort of people just quit.

 

[PromisedLand]

If you can read a clock you can go to Brock!

We made it man.....we made it. What a great day. LOL

FINALLY!!!!

Now the time to right the ship begins. We finally take the first step towards the cup. Whether it is with the core4 or not; it doesn't matter.

All that matters is the Logo and MAPLE LEAFS Win the CUP!!!

 

[CelticDruid]

now this is a message to you as well, freaking Dubas haters.

the shitshow is ON

lets ride back go the Dark JFJ Nonis Burke era, but hey, at least Dumbass with the glasses who is younger than me is gone!!!

bunch of f***ing clowns

Kyle, please stop posting.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I think anyone that resigns should be welcome news for Shanahan and company. They need to get these individuals out of the organization that can't see past their relationship with Dubas.

This includes the players too.

Well said.

 

[yubbers]

No, I'm hoping that you will realize today was the day we f***ed up this franchise again.

No. That was the day we hired Dubas.

Buckle up for AM to walk next. Have you not figured out I'm basically clairvoyant yet?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Spezza has no experience and was never going to be the next TML GM.

I like Spezza. I wish him well. Let's get serious here though.

 

[PromisedLand]

One thing for sure Dubas really FU on the goaltending front lol. I don’t mean to laugh but he really made a mockery of of that very very important position!

Garret Sparks fiasco
Murray this season
Campbell

Can't argue that man

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

The wrong man at the wrong time.

This is all Tanenbaum's fault. He's the one that supported these clowns all these years. Old men in suits can never admit they've made a mistake.

Dubas is finished as a manager.

He's never getting another job after this. Chayka and JFJ, amongst others, never got a second chance. What makes Dubas' spectacular failure any less a spectacular failure than his predecessors?

Don't worry, Dubas will still be able to feed his family.

He certainly used his current role to provide a nice retirement fund. They all, everyone of them, make gobs and gobs of money. That’s all that matters.

It's embarassing the riches they have and still ice a losing hockey team for so many years.

Spezza as a fall guy means nothing. Losing him is symbolic, but meaningless. I want ML$E to fire everyone from Shanahan on down.

To give me enough hope I can start cheering for my hometown team again.

this.

this is our fanbase.

children.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

huge loss
whatever


Little bit sick of the temper tantrums around here calling those who aren't fans of Dubas, idiots and clowns

To be fair, it’s been the other side slinging mud for 5 years.

 

[Antropovsky]

Good... He came to Toronto for a retirement contract at home. Nice guy, but not a big loss to the organization. Looking forward to a new GM, who doesn't just surround himself with people he's not intimidated by.

I sure hope your celebrating the Dubas outting. Cause I sure as heck am. Lol.

 

[HofT]

This team is imploding due to everyone's high ego. Unfortunate and comical to see.

 

[Canadian Finn]

No, I'm hoping that you will realize today was the day we f***ed up this franchise again.

The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun

 

[Warden of the North]

That's too bad. I liked what he brought to the organization as a player.

 

[PromisedLand]

I sure hope your celebrating the Dubas outting. Cause I sure as heck am. Lol.

Didn't you see my moves in the dubas thread?

Finally some freakin' accountability, and path towards a bright future.

Even if take a couple steps back; thats fine. I think that is for taking 10 steps forward. We ae gonna more than fine in the future. The future is bright.

I finally have BeLeaf again!

 

[Larcos_Unal]

That was before the firings too. We'll see what sort of people just quit.

Not everyone is in Spezza's financial bracket, people have families to care for.

 

[pcruz]

Shanahan is cleaning house. Looks like there was some issues between him and the staff and that’s good news as he realizes the team was built wrong. Start moving players and contracts and bring in competent people who use logic over stats and spreadsheets.

Hasn't he been President for 9 years now?

Coles Notes of his tenure:

Fired Carlyle
Hired Horacheck
Fired Non-issue
Fired all coaching staff
Hired Babcock
Hired Lou

Lou left
Promoted Dubas
Fired Babcock
Hired Keefe


Sounds like he's Fired a few bullets.
How many bullets do executives normally have before they get canned themselves?

 

[Lemontree]

I've been a Maple Leafs fan since I'm 12, now I'm 30, a kid from a little town in Hungary who stayed up to watch the Andy Wozniewski and Ron Wilson and Simon Gamache Maple Leafs teams at 1AM local time, someone who after more than 18 years got to live his dream and finally made it to Toronto watching the Maple Leafs from the press box as a media member, walking in the locker room and sitting in the quiet Scotiabank arena hours before the first playoff game this year.

So shut the f*** about who I am. I love the Leafs, thats all I ever did. I had seen the dark days, and in my opinion, they are coming back.

But dont you ever call me again a schtick, you piece of shit

I don't think you know what schtick means, you don't call a person a schtick. Anyways, you seem a rational as ever today. I'm sorry Kyle Dubas means so much to you.

you don't even act 30. I suspect you're about 22....at best.

(if you are 30 ... well ... not sure I'd be bragging about that)

I totally agree bud. Cheers to that.

Good question. I’m wondering the samething.

I cannot wait to quote this once we are fully back to the dark JFJ Nonis Burke era.

It will be sweet

Just out of curiosity. Do you cheer for the Maple Leafs or Dubas?

Why do you want the dark days? Heck my grandpa with a cigar in his hand would have run the org better than dubas did with the amount of salary cap he was afforded, the kind of players he was given (matthews, marner, nylander, rielly) and the amount of assets available back then (picks, kapanen, johnsson, etc.)

I will never freakin' understand how in the blue hell dubas gets any credit to begin with; but with all this doom and gloom because the failure of a GM is not returning should be a joyous occasion.

 

[Menzinger]

Seemed like a nice dude. And from what I read will probably end up with a promising career in a front office, though looks like somewhere else now
