This Was EMBARRASING For Dubas Last Night...

[@mckessa17]

Dubas did not care about defence in Toronto and looks the same in Pittsburg.

[@Coltyyyyyyyy]

He thought going out and getting Karlsson would solve defense. The only problem is that Karlsson doesn't know how to play defense. Check out his plus/minus last year / career. Nick Lindstrom was +450.

[@mckessa17]

@@Coltyyyyyyyy I know, I noticed the plus minus and thought this guy is going to do more harm than good.

[@es5ape]

Fans shitting on Dubas because of his statements, yesterday he told "Toronto is the place where I want to be, I will never leave, I will retire", and on the next day he's signing a contract with another team. Loyalty? Honesty? Nope, he doesn't know what it is.

[@mooch514]

Dubas is a turn coat. $$$ . Ruined pittsburg . I hope crosby leaves

[@Todd-s9z]

Saying Dubas assembled the team that gave that beating. Ummm Dubas didn’t sign Domi. He didn’t bring in Gregor. He didn’t bring in bertuzzi. Also Robertson was not always a regular in the lineup. Oh and he never brought in Martin jones. So to say he assembled the team fully that beat him was a lie.

[@hurtlocker6611]

LOU did everything before boy wonder got promoted all he did was give out 11 million dollar contracts and trade first rounders for players that were UFA'S

[@LeeAdrian777]

That’s definitely lies eat fries 🍟

[@Ase8231]

DUBAAAS

[@leoventresca7867]

Dubas accomplished nothing in SSM, Toronto and it will be the same in Pittsburgh, I could never understand how he got the leafs job to be honest

[@mooch514]

Because toronto and their fans, press and management have been in La La land since 67

[@duncanmac2195]

It's embarassing for Dubas because he has gone from golden boy genius that inherited the perfect build stacked with picks and prospects who squandered it all while producing one round rofl to exposed fraud. He really has no idea what he is doing. Any fan could have done better than him by doing nothing. The amount of picks and own rentals he gave up was pathetic. The agents walked all over him as well. His legacy will be a total failure.

[@go4a24]

Easy to say im hindsight that the team would be better off if nothing was ever done. His last two seasons he made great deals at the deadlines. He made most of his mistakes in his first couple of seasons. I'm not a big fan of giving away 1st round draft picks. His biggest mistakes imo were the contracts he shelled out to matthews and especially Marner which in turn made him have to give away our 1st pick.

[@pahul79]

Finally someone who understands. Dubas inherited a stacked young team fresh out of their rebuild from Lou Laimerallo and completely destroyed it. Fuck Kyle dubas

[@annarichify]

Thank you for saving me a post.

[@bernardbrown2054]

Lets see the brillant mind of dufas make the pens make the playoffs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thisspacenotforrent]

That was well earned for Dubas last night...he does not believe in defense which is why the Pens are doing so bad and why the Leafs came short so often under his tenure...

[@williamrobinson604]

Proof. Tre signed Benoit and Lagesson to take care of the Leafs d-zone. Dubas traded for Karlsson, who is known for putting up a lot of points but is a career plus/minus -92.

[@deanb1272]

Dubas acquired Brodie and McCabe, arguably the Leafs' two best d-men. The team has actually had pretty strong defensive metrics over the past two or three seasons, even with inconsistent goaltending at times.

[@mickeyjohn2442]

​​@@deanb1272 Brodie and McCabe may be their best defenseman...Maybe...but that's not saying much...Dubas is the worst GM I've ever seen (I'm a 54 year fan of the Leafs)...And I've seen a lot of losing in my day with the Leafs...His inability to negotiate with young talent and their agent's is the reason this team up to this point will never win a Cup (barring a miracle) Weak defense, and No goaltending...His inability to negotiate has handcuffed this team financially while trading away future talent to make up for all his gaffs has left the teams cupboards bare...I've always said this about about Scooby-Dubas...His idea of the perfect team is...Pay 4 guys all the money...fill in the rest of the team with waiver wire league minimum bubble NHL players...That nobody else wants...Have no grit whatsoever...Sign as many 5 foot tall guys that you can find...and hope for the best...lol...The guy is the worst...The Leafs have definitely had their share of GM dumb-assery...But Dubas has zero hockey sense whatsoever...On an added note that Marlies team that won the Calder Cup under him was stacked...My Grandmother (God rest her soul) could have won the Calder from the grave with that team.

[@thisspacenotforrent]

@@deanb1272 Leafs D is garbage...McCabe takes too many dumb penalties...sure Brodie was a good sign but just 1 good D? lol blaming Leafs goaltending when the Leafs do not body anyone out of in front of the net, SMH...

[@zascorpusa]

Doofus 😂😂😂😂

[@marsters9109]

Dubas could have been patient, waited for a good opportunity with an up and coming team...but nooo, his over-inflated ego makes him think he can "fix" the oldest team in the NHL, with a rapidly declining core. To make it worse, he trades for a very expensive one-way Dman they did not need. Welcome to hockey purgatory, Kyle!

[@TheBillaro]

yes sir. i said it.

[@LeeAdrian777]

He’s ahead of himself as usual. Experience brings wisdom, something he doesn’t have in his field.

[@MisterMister5893]

Karlsson?

[@wilsonjohnson9774]

Thank God he is the penguins problem NOW. 7-0, 7- NOTHING, MAPLE LEAFS (TORONTO) Over penguins...

[@gilbertayala1069]

The Penguins only have one legitimate Line... Anyone the knows hockey should know that...

[@FinalHourMusicReal]

it's pronounced "Dewbus"

[@jbtwofour]

People keep saying Toronto fired Dubas, but Dubas sabotaged any attempt at resigning with Toronto by his end of year comments and his email to Shanahan, because of the opportunity presented to him by Pittsburgh (which is illegal in the NHL while under contract). Thus Dubas QUIT Toronto and was NOT fired.

[@vernonmodglin5502]

How does this individual have a job?

[@EA-bd7wp]

Du-bahs Good try

[@adampincente209]

Du-bas played no role in assembling this team. The draft picks which built this team weren’t his. And he got nothing out of all the draft picks he traded away. He’s the biggest fraud in sports, him and Brendan Shanahan.

[@Jimmyfly215]

I say this as a Flyers fan with no bias. The Penguins need to make a change and it’s probably at coaching. They can’t defend as a team and I don’t think they are very good. Their talent is good enough and you cannot waste Crosby and Malkin right now.

[@marsters9109]

Malkin is shot. He is like Ovechkin now. Unengaged, slow, and disinterested.

[@MisterMister5893]

Do you watch all 82 Pens game a season to make that statement? @@marsters9109

[@adamrichmond6348]

Bit he did not start the year that way. It has crept in all over the team again and again for like half a decade. Most of the team has changed, gm has changed only consistant things are the stars and the coach and the stars arnt going anywhere so seems like anpretty obvious choice what to do​@@marsters9109

[@Scottieguru]

It is getting interesting with the leafs. Mathew Knies is finding a whole new aspect to his power forward game. Terrific. Burtuzzi is figuring things out. Domi is a very skilled passer. Laggasson looks promising and Jones too. We need a couple of strong pieces to really push into round 2 or 3 of the playoffs. We are not a Stanley cup team yet but I have enjoyed the Dubas/ core four era. Trevling has yet to prove himself but he looks patient and confident in a process.

[@RevanBC]

Better hurry up; the stars are in their prime years.

[@antoniodefilippis323]

max domi aint no tie domi

[@robsavage9440]

And it will all fall apart in the playoffs like it always does .. this team has no playoff Jam😂😂

[@kohl4life]

​@robsavage9440 last year proved otherwise but I will ask you. when was the last time you seen a team come back from 5 down. yes they still end up losing but that was the best thing I've ever seen the leafs do. they have never come back from that and always gave up. so I will ask you. when was the last time you seen a team come back 5 down in 1 period ? the very fact they came back from 5 down. watch out. that means they will try from 5 down moving forward because they know it can be done. goodluck but toronto is a new animal. I even gave up and said its over because we all thought it was an almost impossible thing. they now know its not. and that came from the leafs. we are in for a treat this year.

[@robsavage9440]

@@kohl4life yeah, it's the regular season , I'm not arguing their regular season success. It's the playoffs when the wheels fall off.... overpaid Stars got no playoff guts they got manhandled by the Panthers last year.... a team with actual playoff guts. And they came from five down against Columbus, that's not exactly Mount Everest of hockey accomplishments. Great regular season/no show in the playoffs coming right up...🤣👍

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

Correction Dubas never said he didnt want to be in Toronto what he said was "he didnt know if he wanted to be a GM but couldnt see himself anywhere but Toronto" the reason Leafs fans hate him is becasue right after being fired by the Leafs he was hired by Pittsburgh (which is sus because it suggests that he had that in the works as a hiring as a GM doesnt not happen in 2 days) and then took FAN favorite Jason Spezza with him and leaving many feeling betrayed that he signed somewhere else so soon after being fired.

[@wes6244]

The process was probably shorter than 2 days. lol. After a contract with a team is up, teams can and do reach out to other executives via their agent. While Dubas may have heard multiple offers from other teams, he went to the bargaining table w that info and presented Shanahan with his proposal. Shanahan told him to kick rocks. I don't know if it was the money or what, but the way Shanahan expressed it in his press conference, it sounded like he had an epiphany and decided to move on. The real process on Dubas's part was probably w his family than actual contract talks.

[@TheFoolintherainn]

Yeah - that's the version I heard of it. I don't think he'd be so ignorant as to shoot himself in the foot making a statement saying he didn't want to be in Toronto? But leafs have been tearing down the house since last spring. I don't know if the owners have hemorrhoids or what their problem is - Spencer carberry was assistant for 2 years, many believe he's responsible for Nylander's career high stats and their franchise record setting power play - they let him go back to Caps to be bench boss. (He was their AHL affiliate Hershey bears coach, prior to Toronto) I think their forward lines are missing coach carbery. I don't know who's making the decisions in Toronto. but what's most important is they're a top revenue team! Bucks beat pucks! Santa's checking with Gary Bettman making sure he's paying the highest prices possible, bringing fan$ Leaf$ jersey$ for Christmas, 🎅 and Mrs Claus is putting lightings in their stockings 🤶 😆

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

@@wes6244 Maybe but U cant have talks with other teams while still under contract. Thats call poaching ur opponents talent which is illegal and Dubas contract wasn''t officially up till July 1.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

@@TheFoolintherainn Yeah its why the Leafs building is so quiet during the regular season because no blue collar joe can afford 300 dollar plus for nose bleed tickets.

[@TheFoolintherainn]

@@davidfitzpatrick6535 That's interesting. But you know how it goes - can't get a job unless you're employed! Boston Bruins GM Sweeney had been luring Hampus Lindholm over from the Ducks for nearly two years - he was seen at Red Sox games with Bruins staff. He admitted the decision to come to Boston was a no-brainer and he could've gotten more money elsewhere I think you have to technically have permission to talk to players who are under contract - I'm curious about how that works for coaches.

[@mickhoddy]

Irrelevant.. both teams

[@danielhouse1053]

Leafs fans should not be jeering Dubas. We have absolutely nothing to gloat about. Don’t piss off the hockey gods

[@austonboston4361]

Gloat? Of course not. I mean, it's one victory for Dubas' new team (3-2) & one victory for his old team. I'm more happy about Jason Pizza suffering alongside his best buddy.

[@RevanBC]

It's pretty pathetic, honestly. The Leafs are a classless organization only outshined by their classless fans. They make Boston look good lol

[@yourhighness4-20]

Dubas ruined the Leafs. They are screwed with horrible cap hell that they will never recover from no matter who the manager is at the moment or future.

I stopped this video to take a quick look at who this guy is on Wikipedia. So I know who he's talking about in the video. And I just happened to come across something that might resolve your dispute. Kyle can pronounce his last name anyway he wants - yet the proper pronunciation would be as the content creator behind lhe boards narrates. He's got it correct Kyle Benjamin Dubas (/duːbəs/ DOO-bəss ə = the letter A sound in "About" "commA" With all due respect to wannabe jocks & announcers, this is a very international league, it's not as homogeneous as it looks don't rely on them for your grammar. And all you had to do was put "how to pronounce Kyle Dubus"in your search bar and you would have come up with this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_WYqKumKelh6sfeature=shared At least delete that laughing smiley face. The guy was trying to make a video and you went after his grammar and pronunciation?

Dubas sure does like his 10 - 11 million dollar players, first thing he did when he got to pittsburgh was get 10 million dollar man Karllson.he was going to do the same thing with the Leafs was bring in Karllson.
