Yesterday, the Maple Leafs General Manager, Kyle Dubas met with the media and as Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports, gave head coach Sheldon Keefe a vote of confidence.
If you're Dubas, what else are you supposed to say? Normally, when a GM has to come out and give you a vote of confidence that's usually a sign the clock is ticking on your time behind the bench.
Dubas continued his presser by saying he believes the Leafs injuries and poor stretches this early are in fact a very positive thing.
In theory, this would be a good response, however with the amount of playoff failures under this regime, one would think Dubas would give us a little more. So if Dubas is in a spot where he sees players not being able to handle the pressure, it might be time to move on from those pieces.
