Sheldon Keefe out in Toronto

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Now fire Shanny

i truly dont think ownership has the balls to do that.

Shanny will survive the duration of his contract

 

[Oneiro]

The cycle will only end when the city of Toronto fires itself.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

This move is 0 firings below Toronto xCoachFirings

 

[Jee]

First move of a series of changes in Toronto, it will be a new era.

Auston Matthews set to become the first Captain/HC since Reggie Dunlop

 

[Realgud]

Understandable as it didn't look like he amassed enough handshake respect this year compared to previous years.

 

[Strangle]

Hahahahaha.

When Matthews doesn’t score, Marner does nothing again…fire the coach I guess.

He’s the one who sets up the systems the players play under

 

[The Winter Soldier]

His regular season coaching record is good, would not be surprised he will land in Pittsburg. IMO he was not the problem in Toronto. I actually think he is a good coach. Shanahan has used his fire the GM card, and fire 2 coaches cards, he is next on the clock. Running out of people to blame.

Look in the mirror, Shanny, You hired Dubas, and that was the genesis that started all the failures for the organization.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

ShelDUMB Keefe

 

[Strangle]

Gotta think Berube is already pretty wrapped up

Gimme coach Q!!!!

 

[Mobiandi]

Keefe’s wasn’t good but Treliving really struggles with coaching hires. MLSE can likely offer more money than Calgary ever would but there’s a very real chance his replacement won’t be great

 

[Divine]

Hope he enjoys Pittsburgh

Dubas already asking for permission

 

[Mogo]

Babcock ?

 

[banks]

That's an expected step 1. Keep going with the entire coaching staff. Then Shanny. Then start on the roster moves.

 

[nbwingsfan]

It’s not his fault his stars couldn’t care less about winning, but he was an easy scapegoat.

How many days until Dubas hires him?

 

[MikeK]

In typical Toronto fashion, it's the coaches fault. How many coaches will this team ditch before they start to realize this core of players aren't playoff performers. Never have and never will. Changes to on ice personnel are needed for anything significant to happen. The coach is just a deflection of the facts.

 

[Esq]

Martin St-louis is now ranked 5th and was hired 21 months ago!!!

Brind'Amour (2018)
Bednar (2016)
Sullivan (2015)
Cooper (2013)

Luke Richardson was hired 23 months ago. But still your point is valid.

 

[Mandar]

Keenan?

 

[LOFIN]

Never understood the hype in this guy, the media thought he was the next Scotty Bowman from all the years they pumped his tires.

I mean Keefe has the 10th best record of coaches all time when it comes to win% in the regular season. And I think we can all agree that Toronto has had a flawed roster all that time.

I'm not saying he's one of the best in the league, but he is a good coach. And a young one at that, he can still improve so much. There should be plenty of interest.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Deck chair shuffling.

 

[serp]

He was probably longer Leafs coach than he should've been. 5 season as a headcoach is almost in eternity these days especially if you don't have any playoff success. That collapse against the Habs probably should've already ended his tenure.

We'll see who succeeds him . I suspect it'll be the most high profile guy Leafs can get , whoever that is. Doubt it'll be another first time head coach.

 

[mydnyte]

finally... should have happened 3+ seasons ago

 

[Suntouchable13]

New Jersey or SJ should give him a call. Good guy, good coach, just ran out of runway in Toronto.

 

[NMacrules]

Everyone saying he wasn't a bad coach. He was a twit. You could take a 10 year old girl and make her coach and still get the same record with that roster.

 

[llamateizer]

Luke Richardson was hired 23 months ago. But still your point is valid.

oops, it's 27 months not 21.

 

[Strangle]

In times like this, please spare a moment to think of the HFB servers. May their death be swift

Again, the Toronto maple leafs take over the leagues headlines and the fans attention

They don’t even need to be playing to be the talk of the league.

Its great to be on top
