[Lebrun] For those wondering where all this leaves Jason Spezza, hearing that he tendered his resignation from the Leafs prior to Brendan Shanahan’s news conference today.

    Bro I need to take a break from this team for a bit I think.

  2. artofsplittingatoms

    Spezza. Honourable as always.

  3. ThymeIsTight

    Fack! I love Spezza
    Edit: maybe Kyle Dubas becomes new GM in Ottawa, Spezza joins their front office

    Ride or die homie til the end. Spezza not winning was one of the more heartbreaking parts of this “era” of Leafs hockey

  5. inhindsight7

    I have never been more out of love with this organization in my 25 years of fandom

  6. JRB2000

    I hope Spezza becomes Dubas’ new Keefe (taking him around everywhere with him)

  7. theguyishere16

    Yeah management is a mess right now. Hopefully Pridham doesn’t also want out.

  8. Gear4Vegito

    I love me some Spezza but people out here acting like he had some massive role in the organizationā€¦

  9. ElephantShell34

    Organization is imploding. Dubas didnā€™t get the end result we all wanted but he did a lot of good work for the culture of this team and itā€™s all getting dismantled.

  10. Actual-Weakness

    Fuck me, if Matthews walks over this Iā€™m going to be so choked. The guys love Dubas

  11. JRocleafs

    JFJ in a bird right now on the way to Toronto

  12. Good luck Spezz šŸ˜¢ watch him and Dubas win a cup elsewhere

  13. I canā€™t wait to hear the other side of the story.

  14. BryanMccabe

    Sadness. Maybe ill just follow Spezza. Fuck it.

  15. I think Dubas has a gig lined up. The fact that he came to shanny and requested more after sitting on a contract that was essentially worked out says to me got something similar from another org. I mean good for him I guess. Make your money, Kyle

  16. Competitive_Ad2450

    The hits just keep on coming today, eh?

    Sigh. Itā€™s so hard to love this team sometimesā€¦.

    As a Leafs fan, this news is disappointing to hear. While Spezza may not be the superstar he once was, he provided valuable leadership and depth to the Leafs lineup. It’s unclear what the reasoning behind his resignation was, but it’s a loss for the team nonetheless. Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.

    For those of you who don’t know Spezza is old Italian for Canary, while Shanahan is old Gaelic for coal mine.

  19. AdvancedAnalytics

    Get Shanahan out and strap a rocket on Tanenbaum

  20. TML-n64

    Get rid of shanahan holy fuck. Feels like Babcock but higher up

  21. Yumhotdogstock

    Ah, c’mon.

    It’s the Friday of a long weekend. This is making me all pissed off again, and I am getting downright annoyed. Spezza? Really?

    This fucking team, after 55 years, is really busting my balls today. Yes, imagine that.

  22. bucajack

    Jesus Christ has everyone in this sub turned into Chicken Little today?

  23. PuzzledSeniors

    Fire shanahan into the sun please lol

  24. thistreestands

    Not really all adding up. Was it the pay raise? The fact Dubas waited so long and then sent an email instead of calling his boss!? Just seems like we are missing a major piece.

  25. AshCan10

    I salute you Spezza. This says alot about Shanahan imo.

  26. Current-Own

    Please don’t let Brad Treliving be an option. Recycled G.M.’s don’t do the trick for me. These guys bounce from team to team accomplishing nothing.

  27. Redneckshinobi

    Fuck, this one hurts the most. That man deserved better, fuck all of this šŸ™

  28. world_citizen7

    I will break up with you before you break up with me.

  29. SomeOtherRandomHuman

    Today fucking sucks.

    How did we go from a stable and acclaimed leadership group to this tire fire so quickly?

  30. finnebum

    When Spezza wants to get away from you, you know you fucked up. This team is a sinking ship.

  31. nonamesleft1

    I don’t know why, but hearing this hits me harder than hearing about losing Dubas…..

  32. Fireinthehole13

    Shamahan should tender his as well ..Phoney executive with no real plan
