Post-Game Talk: Potential new coach discussion thread

[thewave]

all the realistic options are better. Just pick someone

 

[Dragao6]

Throw the $$$$$ at John Cooper!!!

 

[sxvnert]

Its probably berube.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Hard no. Trash human like Q can get bent.

It most certainly does not, but hey, whatever helps you sleep at night with Q as a coach.

Wins help me sleep at night. That's it. Simplicity itself.

 

[CincoHolio]

The fear of Q and this perceived notion that he carries too much baggage for the media to handle is way overblown.

You wouldn't hear a peep about his past transgressions beyond training camp, let's be real here. FFS, MLSE owns half of the sports media in this country - any persistence to beat a dead horse by the media would be shut down pretty quick.

 

[hamzarocks]

Has sheldon keefe attained legend status yet?

And why is the media going to have a field day with it?

Is it because he was complacent in criminal activities?

My first thought isn’t can we get people to stop talking about him ignoring his player(s) getting sexually assaulted. It’s why are we hiring someone who allowed his players to get sexually assaulted without repercussions?

Just like I said. BT dropped the ball not canning him and stopping that crap. The management in Toronto is elite level stupid.

Lou wouldn't have any of this. Not a damn drop of this team wrecking drama.

 

[TMLegend]

Berube just seems so mid to me. I know he's the most likely option but I can't say I'm fully on board with it.

He's been out of hockey for a few years but I'd be interested in Claude Julien.

Part of me wonders if Treliving will go back to the well and bring in Darryl Sutter.

 

[Cucumber]

From a Canucks fan. What attracts you to Berube? He got lucky during an one in a million cup run and I don't think he could handle the media and the egos.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Pete DeBoer 8-0 in game 7s. That’s what we need. Obviously won’t happen lol

 

[Leaf Fans]

Has sheldon keefe attained legend status yet?

Nope. He would have to win more often in the playoffs for that.

well-said. I don't know, my personal feelings aside (I'd hate to have him on the Leafs), just with the whole Hockey Canada scandal, I can't envision this as a viable option for MLSE. It's nowhere close to the Keefe/Frost situation that another poster referenced earlier today.

Keefe was 18, not a full grown adult covering up a sexual assault and then lying about it. What happened with Keefe was also over 20 years ago, and his path to redemption was a slow and arduous one. I'm not sure the same applies for Quenneville.

 

[JamieG19]

The stars had grown tired of someone holding them accountable and yes Keefes country club atmosphere and public apologies whenever he criticizes them has worked well

In fairness, Keefe really had no choice. Part of why Babcock was fired was because Auston and Mitch wanted to call the shots and play together and Babcock wouldn't let them run the show. So part of Keefe's job was to make them happy. and give them free reign to do as they please.

 

[baton elevated]

Claude Julien would be a solid hire, much prefer him to Berube.

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

The GTA is radically left?

Yessir

 

[TheGreatOne11]

They are going to flex their financial muscles.

It'll either be truck loads of cash to convince John Cooper to switch ships or literally spend all the money on getting Quenneville the greatest PR personal of all time and have him Smelling like puppies coming back into the NHL.

 

[1specter]

Please don't f*** this up, one of the most important coaching hires in this team's history.

 

[Gabriel426]

Unless is Q or Cooper, don't think they will rush it as Rod might be available.

 

[ITM]

Please don't f*** this up, one of the most important coaching hires in this team's [modern] history.

Sure is. To H.E. double hockey-sticks with impression management. Hire the guy with the most Cups.

And that is one of the big reasons leafs lose

Leafs losing honestly just seems well deserved and from the powers above. It is well deserved if our core believes and thinks like the above

Entitled, selfish, undisiplined group who think they are untouchable and can cruise their way to success based on talent and media/fan hype

Reality hits hard ever May though and the guys are quickly forgotten as the NHL elite players play towards winning a cup

Under contract.

Complacent doesn't mean what you think it means.

He didn't allow it.

 

[GoonieFace]

Maybe try something new, like a two head coach system with Jonas Siegel and James Mirtle

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yessir

How so? It used to be conservative?

 

[Squiffy]

Dryden, Smith, Hedberg and Watters. Oh, that was fun.
