Dubas drops some expletives in tirade over media and fan criticism of his team

We’ve all heard the jokes by now… the Leafs got beat by a 42 year old Zamboni driver. Yada yada yada...

It was a historic, and frankly hilarious, moment of course, but with the NHL’s trade deadline now come and gone it’s old news. So… what now? Leafs GM Kyle Dubas did barely anything to address his team’s needs going into the stretch drive and media and fan criticism of this team has only ramped up.

So… what gives?

What’s the plan, Kyle?

Kyle Dubas not pulling any punches when discussing why his team has been so inconsistent: "I'm not going to come up and bullshit and say I have some magical solution."

Damn… didn’t expect that kind of honesty from Dubas, to be honest.

The fact is, the Leafs are still very much in the mix for a playoff spot and could be a dangerous team to face in the first round. Dubas knows this and isn’t afraid to stick up for his team.

Kyle Dubas on #Leafs: “There’s a lot of people that are writing the obituary for the team and putting the team into the ground. And that's fine, that's fair. So you can go meekly into the night and build the excuses for why it didn't work out, or you fight your way back.”
