look, i know some of you nerds are mad about replacing Dubas with Treliving. but it's just not good enough to have a GM who peaks with a 4-1 loss in the second round

By that logic, every member of the organization should be gone because their peak is also a 4-1 loss in the second round
Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good.
they did everything right until they let Lou go and signed JT…
He is right though. Doesn’t Matter the hows or the whys. End of the day, his team failed spectacularly. No one cares about regular season wins or any of that junk if you’re not successful whatsoever in the playoffs. This year was our best playoff series ever (in recent salary cap era) and it was a straight up embarrassment. I like Dubas and I don’t pin it all on him, but he still failed. Hindsight is 20-20 and a lot of his moves looked good at the time but you can look back now and almost none of them worked out the way we hoped (contracts paid to the stars for what we expected they would deliver and didn’t), Tavares…, Keefe, all the draft capital expending trading only to not even come close at all. It was an abject failure. I hope Treliving can do better (or be luckier). Time to win.
When did Treliving’s flames go further than game 5 of the second round?
I wonder if Boston Pizza will now get the concessions over Pizza Pizza?
Big changes coming!!
It’s pathetic when the GM shows more passion than the players on the ice tbh
Calgary and toronto market is alot different. Treliving had two star players who basically held the franchise hostage and were good as gone with the first chance they got. Players would 100% play in toronto first than in Calgary. You think a GM would trade two star players at the deadline while fighting for a playoff spot? His hands were tied either way
Here’s the thing, with 32 teams in the league, you should be trying to hit a home run with every move you make for your franchise.
This is not it.
