Bruins vs. Leafs - Nov. 11th, 7:00pm - TSN4

No doubt about it: Treliving has assembled the DNA from a team that was 8th in GAA last season to a team with the worst GAA in the league this year!!!

Well to be fair, it does seem like Stolarz’s play covered that up last season. His play, honestly, reminds me of the drop off between samsonov’s first season to his second.

But I think this is a ‘blip’. I think Stolarz is better than this and will eventually rebound. The rest of the team, however, hasn’t shown that they’re capable of much more than not giving a shit about much of anything.

Shanny panicked after canning Dubas. Tulsky was the guy to get if you were going to make a change.

And that’s the thing, I don’t think they needed to make the change. I believe Dubas was willing to make drastic changes to the team. But Shanahan wasn’t willing to relinquish any power.

Dubas wasn’t perfect, no GM is, but he was a smart guy who, for the most part, made moves that made sense.

People forget that a lot of the moves he made were to undo the dumbass moves that Lamoriello made. Dubas didn’t start the ‘go for the cup early’ cycle, Lamoriello did, and Shanahan.

I wasn't a fan of the Dubas firing. It would have been very interesting to see what he would have done if given the op.
And you're absolutely right. Lou and Shanny decided to go for it first when they should have been selling off UFAs like Bozak, JVR, uncle Leo. Instead he traded 2nds for Boyle and Plekanec. Problem really was that the kids were too good and have made the playoffs ever since finishing last to get Matthews.

Berube's post-game comments were kind of like, oh we just need to clean up some things and I liked how we competed. ?

I didn't see the game.

Domi said it was part of the game when asked about his penalty with Zadorov. He's as dumb as his father.
