I feel a bit gaslit by Shanny that this presser implied Dubas himself didn’t want to be back.….he really spends much of it talking like he knows he’ll be here.
ok time to let twitter do my thinking for me
Brian Conacher?Yeah that’s it too. Dubas did well but no franchise altering moves under his watch and he inherited the 2 best players this team has had since BC times and 4 of
The top 10-15.
Yep. Was gifted 2 elite players and had no playoff success.Dude inherited or lucked into every major impact player the team has and failed to put a good enough supporting team around them. Also couldn't reel in his young new age wonder coach when he started going full Don Cherry.
Then he told the whole world he wasn't sure he wanted the job anymore.
It's been a slice, but time to move on.
Before my man JC
I don't think shanny is gaslighting.
I mean... Shanny kinda did the same thing.
Entertaining and refreshing.
It was entertaining
Shanny cleared the air — didn’t have to, of course, but I think it benefits the fans more than hundreds of speculative think pieces about “what happened”
media
Jack Campbell?Before my man JC
Hockey fans : omg stop giving stupid cliché answers.
Leafs do it.
Hockey fans : you should be fired

Or without consequencesNot all non-cliche answers are good answers.
In the end I think the right decision was made. That dubas presser shook me, and i was already fine with him not coming back before that.
I'm somewhat concerned with shanny's behavior here (that he was so comfortable extending Dubas after the deadline, that his opinion could change so drastically, and that he went public with everything here - all are maybe a big concerning0, but in terms of what that means for the team going forward.....I come out of this presser more reassured that Shanny appreciates the type of management that Dubas brought to the table, and will probably try to get someone more like that than go for some big philosophical change. I don't think this presser should make us worry that Shanny will start making emotional decisions going forward or even start interfering any more than he ever has.
