So @kyledubas's signing to head hockey operations with the @penguins is quite suggestive as to what went down in #LeafsForever land.
There may have been financial issues. There may have been family issues. Most of all, however, were issues of control and autonomy.

My speculation is that Dubas found himself taking responsibility (and pressure) for decisions he was not alone in making (and that were subject to veto). If everyone was going to hold him accountable for those decisions, he wanted those decisions to be his.
Thus when Dubas's agent approached Brendan Shanahan with a revised contract, Shanahan concluded that Dubas wanted much more control at Shanahan's expense.
Shanahan wasn't willing to give that up.

So I see where #91 scored a critical third period go-ahead goal in the Toronto-Montreal game.
No, not that #91. #LeafsForever

But it wasn't enough. MTL 4, TOR 3. 18.4 seconds left.
So #Leafs, #MapleLeafs and #LeafsForever fans, since you’ve had just over 24 hours to fully digest what happened - yet again - to your beloved team, let’s talk about the why, shall we?
Thread time. 🧵

So, every year, y’all approach the year that most hockey fans do - “We got a great team, can’t wait for the games to start,” but y’all do it with a Biff Tannen Twist:
Y’all believe that your names are already engraved on the Cup, as does the Toronto Sports Media.

And so y’all go into the regular season with some deluded idea that your best hopes are inevitable and that your crown is just that - yours. And this idea foments, grows, and festers as it is pumped up by Leafs fans and Toronto Sports Media all season long.
• WHAT IF: NHL TEAM WERE SOCCER TEAMS •
As a Brazilian hockey and soccer fan who likes soccer jerseys and loves to see jersey concepts for hockey I couldn't help but to wonder how they would look like and since I didn't find something like that I created one for each team!

Disclaimers: soccer jerseys usually have a sponsor and since we don't have that in NHL I simply used the helmet sponsors (for those cool guys that don't have one like Avs and Flyers I used the one from arena naming rights)

It's pretty simple but I think it looks fine, didn't want to mess something

OTD in 1959, after taking a shot from Andy Bathgate in the nose, Jacques Plante leaves the game & returns wearing a mask.
This is a (mega) thread to Plante & to the mask wearers who followed. Some great goalies/masks do not appear & some appear more than once.

Con un año normal de lesiones y contando con un goalie del calibre de Gibson, los Ducks deberĂan volver a ser mucho mejor equipo. Dar minutos y roles importantes a jĂłvenes como Comtois, Terry y Steel, serĂa una excelente noticia para su futuro.

Tiene un historial de lesiones preocupante pero siempre es un jugador que destaca. Anaheim necesitará de su talento goleador para salir del pozo.
