Kyle Dubas refuses to meet with Toronto media after multiple requests, what's happening in Toronto?
The Toronto Maple Leafs return home after a 5 game west coast road swing which saw them finish with a 1-2-2 record. Almost exactly like last year, but unlike last year, the team is playing some of the most uninspired hockey fans have ever seen.
However, it seems as though the Leafs are trying to run things as they normally would. Business as usual as they say. According to the Toronto Star, Kyle Dubas has ignored all the requests to speak to reporters about the state of the team.
The travelling media representing the Toronto Star, Sun, Athletic, Sportsnet, TSN and Sports Illustrated asked to speak to general manager Kyle Dubas about the state of the team. The request was denied. The team wants to present a business-as-usual demeanour. Dubas's media appearances are typically scheduled well in advance.
Now, it's not unlike the Leafs to schedule his media availability, but this is big business as usual for a team that was supposed to be contending. It's only 9 games, but something has to change.
As the eternal optimist, I'm finding it hard to believe in a team that refuses to make any changes. At this point, this is a culture failure and Dubas should have to answer for it.
