The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[LeafGm]

Love the underlying assumption in “if Dubas HAD to hire a woman” that Hayley Wickenheiser, formerly the best player in the world in her sport and apparently also smart enough to become a medical doctor, was hired purely as some token PR exercise entirely because she’s a woman.

 

[tuckered]

Why does he pretend to care what MLSE does with their money?

 

[hockeylover]

There was a group of women Dubas hired at that time based on anonymously submitted scouting reports so essentially entirely on merit alone. Noelle Needham was one if I recall correctly.

It’s the dumbest criticism.

 

[zeke]

Dubas just axed a chick in Pittsburgh i think. Sight unseen. Sexist motherfuxker.

Oh yeah I forgot about this. Legit meritocracy, as much as possible. Oh the irony.

Best part is dubas is part of the anti woke brigade with Bill Maher et all. Dude was just trying to look for market inefficiencies.

Burke with glasses.

Actually, Burke may be more woke.

Yup

Burke is a tragically outdated hockey mind but at his core a very good and very progressive man. I have all the time in the world for him as a human being and if he had nothing to do with hockey ops would gladly have him as the president of my hockey team

Doobie was just riffing on Masai. Would have looked bad on him to do nothing.

masai went from 0% females in basketball ops to nearly 50% and is now interviewing women for the HC posish.

wat?

 

[Preston]

wat?

He's been known to "like" Maher anti woke rant video tweets. Truth is he's more like Red Line than the majority of us.

I think you’re going to break Montana

I think you’re going to break Montana

I thought this was common knowledge. Dubas is a big Maher guy.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I didn’t know and neither did the president of his fan club

 

[CH1]

I thought this was common knowledge. Dubas is a big Maher guy.

he should hire Maher as a part time assistant

 

[Montana]

Now that Preston mentioned it was liking a tweet, I do recall it….just watched the video to see if there was anything worth extracting from it that Dubas might have ‘liked’ it for….but nah….someone could easily make a 40 minute video essay, knocking down every weak ass argument Maher makes in it.

The only statement of any merit is that “X revolution should study the history of revolutions.”…..there’s all sorts of value in learning from the successes & failures of large movements throughout history. but liking a Maher video with such a dogshit clip, isn’t how you’d amplify that message if you’re Dubas.


this is a perfect chaser, to help the Dubas departure go down.







It cracks me up how these old heads are progressive their whole lives, but the second youth continue the progress past them, they all of a sudden want everyone to stop so their old asses can be comfortable. Lol. Fucking zero self-awareness in this smug prick.

 

[CH1]

It's way more likely that Dubas' nerdiness is one dimensional and he knows fuck all about the history of politics/human rights/anything outside of hockey or business, and he sees Bill Maher as just a funny guy "unafraid to tell like it is."

woke high ranking members in pro sports are unicorns, especially in hockey

 

[Habsy]

I think everyone needs to cut Red Line some slack, and lay off a little bit…

…it seems pretty clear that the lack of human affection these incels receive, gives them some form of aggressive brain rot.

Like in The Last of Us?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

My law school girlfriend used to work for Maher back in the day. Major shithead.

 

[CH1]

Shithead. Cokehead. Pothead.
