He will be back next season, book it. Doesn’t matter what happens in the playoffs at all.

 

[notDatsyuk]

I will respect and shake the hand of anyone celebrating Keefe's firing.

 

[shaner8989]

Extending him was one of the biggest jokes in sports. He’s gone in a few weeks

 

[sxvnert]

Agreed. He'll be around until another top coach becomes available. Tre also gets another year continue adding toughness throughout the lineup.

Tre is chomping at the bit to fire him.

Book it !

I think the only guy who doesn’t want Keefe to be fired as badly as Keefe is Sullivan in Pittsburgh.

I have a hunch that if Keefe is fired this offseason, Sullivan will be summarily dismissed so that Keefe can be reunited with Dubas and Spezza in Pittsburgh.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

The time has come for him to go. It was kind of Dubas to give him a shot at the NHL level.
It hasn't worked out.
It might not work out for the next coach, but it's still time for Keefe to go, because:

You can't change the players (very much), but you can change the coach.

When a suitable successor comes available, cough,

Spoiler: cough

Joel Quenneville

, cough.

We need to pull the trigger.

 

[Maple Leaf]

You realize Keefe is an AHL coach, right?

Q 100%

This theory that you get extra time/ crack at it by not bringing in your own guy is strange. Its not true at all. Management can dump any of them at any time if they want and if that is actually policy, they are among the dumbest organizations in the world.

LOL. Great title.

 

[Petrus]

Is there a coach in the NHL that has achieved as little as Keefe with all the talent at their disposal?

Keefe should have been canned when they lost to the Habs in the playoffs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don't think "galaxy braining" is the problem. He doesn't strike me as someone too smart for his own good, he strikes me as a moron

 

[Niagara Bill]

The sign of a together team, almost always a winning team, but certainly a well coached team is Penalty Killing. It takes dedication, formation, courage, desire, some skill and pride.
Enough said about our situation. Buck stops with Keefe.
PK in hockey, are the eyes to the soul of the team.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Not a fan of Keefe. This team wins despite him.

He must be doing what his boss wants. He was extended.

My guess. He only loses his job if the Leafs don't go deep enough in the playoffs. Deep enough is whatever his bosses decide of course.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I think I am still a bit blown away that injuries were what finally created a 3 line (Tavares dropping down to 3C) team. Yeah it's a 4 line team, but you know what I mean. The fact that Keefe was forced to spread out the offence, and then finally discovered that he could spread out the offence.

I do think that Keefe will go back to loading up two top lines thus attributing regular season success to something like "adversity and maturity is what brought this team together.".

 

[Jmo89]

It's crazy to me that some of the best draft luck in the teams history was ruined with losers like Dubas and Keefe. Shanahan needs to follow Keefe out the door for the costly decision of keeping those two.

 

[ZEBROA]

When u dont want home advantage, because of the coach...

But the thing is, he is not alone out there, Why TF aint anyone saying "Emperor i found your clothes in the lookerroom, put them on!" Because he sure aint fooling the fans. The ones around him must me blinder then newborn bats, or so good at being incompetent that someone decided it should be a profession.

 

[hfman]

Listen, they could put Yosemite Vader in there and nothing would

We know.

That’s the joke

I don't think they pull the trigger on Q, too much baggage. Berube is still out there though...

 

[bax]

He'll be here until the end of time. I'm 100% convinced of it at this point.

Thats an absolute guarantee, the second Keefe gets fired.

Hooters when he gets skidded
