Who is DumbAss ?
I think Dubas is a great GM, He should come forward and said I played a card and it backfired. Clearly Shanny wanted him, lose the EGO's put it behind you and sign the deal. People make mistakes and play the I'm worth more card, it failed, so get past it.
I think it’s quite possible that Dubas wanted out if he was told to fire Keefe or move out one of the core four. Best way to save face is to ask for $7 million knowing you won’t get it and you don’t fire or trade any of your buddies because you’re getting fired.
notice how all these gm's wear glasses tomake themselves look highly intelligent…in the case of dumbass dubas he uses words like "recaibrate" to make himself look like a genius when in reality hes absolutely not hes just your average joe. So he has tavares marner matthews and nylander but doesnt know anything about the other aspects like speed and grit (toughness) which also his coach had in wayne simmonds but neglected to use him. Why do they make dubas out to be a genius its a act put out by him wearing the glasses ……he should complete the act by wearing a white robe and dying his hair white to look like einstein.
hope Shanny goes back to Dertroit where he apparently belongs
I truly believe that Dubas should have been at this press conference as well. The fact that he is not speaks alot to me. There are two sides to every story.
I love Nick Kypreos asking Gord where does this rank for you in terms of Leafs craziness
the Avs hired a new jackass this year, see how that worked out, made us worse than toronto
agree with kyper – dubas is only 37, his head got too big.
i like shanahan more now. and please get a gm who knows hockey is not just about skill.
Dubas was getting a 200k raise if the report of 4million in 5 years is correct
Good to see Gord again.. This was great guys!
Brendan Shannahan comes across like a childish, pouting baby. Just like the leafs to keep the crap and lose the cream. As a 40 year fan I think I’m done cheering for this team. Definitely lost all respect for Shannahan the 5yr old
I respect Kyper and all but he’s an apologist for leafs ownership. Kyle was good. Get shabby out now before he makes another idiot move.
Dubas had a $4M/yr deal on the table. He played those family games, then demanded $6M-$7M/yr with full autonomy for 5 years. I think Shanny felt betrayed and it no longer felt like Dubas was committed to the organization. It's as if Dubas's mindset was similar to a few of the players. Just there to collect a paycheck instead of hungry for success. I think that cemented Shanny's decision to cut ties, and I think it was right. And I liked Dubas, but it's obvious his build will never win. Change is needed.
Hahahah Pupperoni
Gotta love kyper 🙌🙌
Just an overall excellent session. I love JB, but Stellick took the ball and ran with it like the pro he is. Add in MacLean (whose always a great guest) with Kyper and Sammy (and supporting background cast) and this is the best show. It's why I watch it so often. Great work all!
Kyle failed his family and his career, what a dufus, I bet a divorce is imminent
I’m not even a Leafs fan and I like this show. Panthers fan, but I love hockey and this is quality stuff.
Kyper proving why he’s the only worthwhile personality on sportsnet. Nice to see someone with a set approach the sport with some integrity
Oh how I wish to have been a fly on the wall during the conversation between Shanny and Dubas. That would have been interesting
sounds like kyles woman isn't a fan of his job
Kyle put his own ego ahead of reality. History shows us that the team wasn’t built for the playoffs.
Let's be real here, Dubas never deserved the job to begin with. He came in with a bunch of unproven ideas about how to create a Stanley Cup winning team and failed repeatedly! Leafs and their fans will be better served hiring a GM with a better vision of how to win the Cup
Tavares didn't "keep it close to the vest". He was clear numerous times about "wanting to stay here for a number of years" just like you said Matthews said.
Kyle YOU GOT THE DREAM JOB HERE. What? Why does Toronto media always over inflate the importance of Toronto? Gosh the Leafs have 56 years of failure, 56 years of fired GMs, 56 years of crazy center of the universe pressure. WHAT THE HELL IS DREAMY ABOUT THAT?
This is the type of ep. that can born new Hockey fans.
The era of smothering players with huge contracts for having accomplished nothing near the goal yet… What an upside-down management style. I wonder if it will ever get back to the time when players are REWARDED for their actions, and NOT their "potential"? For that matter, it seems the era of TEAMS has vanished as well; few players want to win as a team – they want themselves to "win" that contract, and to hell with the rest of the team. There is no "team"' there is no hunt for a Stanley Cup anymore; there's only looking out for #1, MY payday, and if I happen to get lucky and attach myself to a club that wins it all? BONUS! (NOT priority). We live in the age of ENTITLEMENT.
Bothers me why they don't just edit the first 3 minutes out of this video entirely after the fact, if it's absolutely nothing but "coming up" lol
Fantastic show
Having Gord on during this Toronto GM event was terrific. The insight and passion from Nick Gord and McClean was a great listen
Nick was on fire 🔥. I know there are two sides but I agree with Nick 💯. This is the Toronto Maple Leafs so idk what Dina’s was thinking pulling a power play move like this .
The amt of details and deadline Brendan gave was unbelievable
Kyle not as smart has he thinks he is.
Kypper calls out the leafs management, and all the sudden this show is cut to 1 hour segments. Welcome to communism folks.
dubas is weasel look what he did to sweet lou and mike babcock i worked with people like that he was trying to hire all his buddy's and take over But finally Brendan caught on to him and waited till he made a mistake
How about firing Shanahan who seems beyond his depth.
leafs are going to crash and burn it is going to be great🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Anyone Out there Know How Much Per Year Was Kyle Dubas Making As The GM ? & How Much More Money He Wanted ? & It Was Said He Had To Get Approval For Every Move He Made They Were Breathing Down His Neck.
Great stuff lads 👍👍
Anyone can get pissed. Judge by the on-ice performance. The Oilers played juvenile hockey – very niave. Pissed? They need to grow up.
Great show guys!!
Ken Holland needs to start pushing his way to Toronto. The. Again sounds like he may have already started .
Played a stupid game. What Dubas did to the leafs can get you black-balled for future GM positions. The trenches analogy was a good one by Doug Maclean
I have complete confidence that Shanny will be able to steal a good GM away from another team. He's got a proven track record of taking things from others – just ask Craig Janney! If you're wondering why the leafs can't get over that playoff hump, I've got one word for you -KARMA! What kind of person steals their teammate's wife?? Can you go any lower than that?! And the leafs thought it was OK to hire someone with that kind of "character"? Well, you reap what you sow!
show starts @3:40
