Brownscombe: The first thing I’ll say is that this was the most predictable narrative to emerge of all time. As soon as Dubas was named GM, I said to give it maybe 6 months and a Leafs losing streak before we hear that the two can’t get along and calls for Sheldon Keefe to take over. The fact that it was foreseeable doesn’t invalidate this story on its own, but it speaks to the fact that this was a narrative the media and fan base were always ready to stoke at the first possible sign of trouble.
