Kyle Dubas under pressure on return to Toronto as Penguins arrive for pivotal game

Last spring, when the Pittsburgh Penguins decided to counter-program the Maple Leafs’ ‘Why we hired Brad Treliving ’ press conference with their own ‘Why we hired Kyle Dubas ’ presser, they started a fight.But if a half hour before your party starts, your ex-friend sends out a note saying they are hosting their own party the same day, that’s a fight.

This is why it’s hard to quote Dubas in print. His sentences run on so long they are column-inch killers. The only thing that matters in Pittsburgh is whether or not the person in charge can organize one more Cup drive for Crosby. The Penguins making the playoffs this season was a basic requirement for the new boss.

When that didn’t work out the way he’d hoped, Dubas swung the other way. At the deadline, he traded Pittsburgh’s best young-ish star, Jake Guentzel – a win-later move. Dubas blamed the team for not being good enough – “my hope going into the year was that everything would go to the most optimistic viewpoint.”
