Player Discussion Sheldon Keefe - All encompassing galaxy brain discussion

[ToneDog]

Apparently versteeg missed last years playoffs. Made numerous mistakes which kept the panthers in the series.

His biggest mistake was that he waited too long to switch goalies. I'm guessing he won't make the same mistake(s) this time. This will be Keefe's 5th playoffs. Hopefully he has learned his lessons but many do not seem to think so.

I like his defensive pairings for game 1. Which naturally means he will change them for game 2. I also look forward to his first idiotic soundbite of the series.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I don't mind him making adjustments if things don't go well. I just hope he leaves the lineup intact if things do go well.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I like his defensive pairings for game 1.

I do as well.

This feels odd.

Is Sheldon playing to win ?

Weird.

Anyone know if he fell during practice ? Hit his head in a weird way ?

The only idiotic soundbite I want from Sheldon is him complaining the bruins disrespected us in the handshake line after we beat them.

What is Keefe doing making a comment on Nylander like that. How do you get guys to quit playing for you? Say stuff like that. People think goaltending is the weakness on the Leafs? Head coach is clearly making a case.

This guy is the single most criticized coach of all time, yet he is going to outlast nearly every other coach in the league. It's quite a thing.

Best winning percentage of any Leafs coach in NHL history and only living person to coach a series win for Toronto has its perks

It's incredible that this is actually true.

If only they handed out stanley cups for regular season winning percentage

If only they handed out stanley cups for regular season winning percentage

Then the Leafs still wouldn't have one as we haven't won the Presidents Trophy in this era

If you're trying to imply that bounce goals like that somehow degrade the win because "luck", it's worth mentioning that our opponents this year score around 80% of their goals that way.

I think suggesting that "our opponents this year score around 80% of their goals (on lucky bounces)" is not only inaccurate but poor rationalization.

Yes, we finally won a series, but let's not pretend it was much more than a lucky bounce.

I have nothing against lucky bounces, or winning thanks to them, but I can acknowledge a lucky bounce.

Nice job completely misreading what I said. No one scores more bullshit bounce goals than the Boston Bruins.

 

[notDatsyuk]

It's incredible that this is actually true.

Also incredible that he has a .653 winning percentage in the regular season and only a .433 winning percentage in the playoffs.

I'm not sure what I "misread". You said "our opponents", not "Boston".

I don't think "no one scores more bullshit bounce goals than the Boston Bruins" is accurate either, and even if it were it does not invalidate my point. It actually supports my point - if you can call Boston goals "bullshit bounce" why can't I call a Leafs goal "a lucky bounce"?

Coaching has always been the Leafs weak spot ever since Bozo the Keefe was hired by his equally incompetent buddy.

Will be interesting to see how many penalties Toronto takes this series for having too many men on the ice.

And of course the constant shuffling of line combinations and defensive pairings on pretty much every shift.

Bozo the Keefe is a mediocre junior hockey calibre coach at best.

 

[LeafSteel]

Honest question:

Who of the 8 Eastern Teams coaches do you think Keefe is better than?

Carbery?

Anyone else?

Some people do.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Worst playoff coach ever.

He proves it every season and it's just embarrassing now.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

PK was shit all year and the PP went cold and never recovered. Special teams sucks and was a big difference in Game 1. f***ing moron coach has no idea what he’s doing.

 

[Donnie740]

If Bozo the Keefe wants to put JarnCrap on the power play, they might as well sign Dan Daoust to a contract tomorrow and roll him out on the penalty kill.

Unbelievably dumb decisions from Bozo the Keefe. Again.
