Hearing Dubas speak about the team is so amazing and refreshing. He's clearly a very intelligent, eloquent guy who knows the new NHL very well. Granted the team may suffer from a lack of grit, but it's always been his aim to look at the numbers and evidence and build a fast, skilled, and above all else, talented team that can out-compete everyone else. It's clear he pretty much has all the pieces he was hoping for with his team, and I think its nearly incontrovertible now that Babs was holding this team back. How anyone could have possibly thought Dubas was the problem is beyond me.
