The whole Dubas vs Shanahan story is stupid.

Shanahan hired Dubas. Even if Dubas was at fault, Shanahan is still responsible for it.

It's next to impossible to argue that either one was solely responsible because it was quite clearly both of them for various reasons.

Shanahan lost the plot when he let Lou go. Lou wasn't perfect but he has something that absolutely nobody else in the organization had then or now and that's a winning pedigree as a builder of a Cup winning team.

In an alternate universe, the Leafs should have fired Shanahan, promoted Lou to President of Hockey Ops, let him hire his own GM and go onward from there. I can almost guarantee the Leafs would have a better cap situation, won more playoff rounds and be a lot closer to winning a Cup than they have been since then.

The isles have one of the poorer cap situations in the entire league. Why in the (frank) are people still going on about senile Lou.

interesting and no one talks about it yet! Alex signs for under a million and he can be sent down at anytime (once) and no have to clear waivers (they could give him 10-15 games before moving him to the Marlies.

But even if it was true (it isn't), still not as bad as the Leafs.

Do they have 4 forwards making 10+ AAV?

Hell, do they have ANY players making 10+ AAV?

Imagine that.

Alex Nylander signed a Marlies contract, not an NHL contract.

If the Leafs want him to play, they have to give him an NHL contract.

But keep in mind, so could 31 other teams - the Leafs have no rights to him.

What exactly makes a sport "Olympic?"

And Canada has a gold in golf at the Olympics, so why are you ragging on it?

The IOC has a branch that determines which sports will be in the next Olympics. Sometimes, the country hosting the Olympics can also ask to include a perticular sport, like Karate in the Tokyo Olympics.

Sometimes these sports stick around, somestimes they are immediately dropped (Karate isn't part of the 2024 Olympics).

I love me some classic Patrick explosions and I'm sure we'll get one this upcoming season, but the team with the near 70 goal guy etc. is pretty exciting even if they fail all the time.

Well some people get excited by boring old goals, others are excited by masters of zone entries like what Barzal does.

Im not "ragging" on anything, just pointing out the foolishness of some Olympic events.
I have no idea what makes a sport "Olympic" anymore, it seems like anything goes now.
Im happy Canada has a gold in golf, doesnt change the fact that I just dont believe it should be in Olympics. But I simply dont watch so no biggie.
Also, remove team basketball and just have 3 on 3 ball or vice versa. Dont need both IMO.
