Not surprising coach often the first to fall.

This took way too long

Not that you'd actually do it, but I'm pretty sure Jay Woodcroft would get you out of the first round.

This was a pretty obvious move that was totally expected.

What else they do will be more of a difference maker because if this is it and they do nothing else just having a new coach will not make a ton of difference.

Let's hope at some point Shanahan follows suit. Keefe is emblematic of a larger corporate culture issue that needs to change in order for the organization to be able to make clear and objective decisions. Shanahan has to be relieved of his duties to get this process moving in the right direction.

Sure, Shanahan can ultimately blame Dubas for the hiring of Keefe, but ultimately, the team's performance rests on him. Shanahan will continue to be an impediment to the organization the longer he is at the helm.

Nothing else is needed, core of 4 is just fine as it is

Why is this in the playoffs forum?

No surprise here, this move was long overdue. He is probably joining his buddy in Pittsburg.

Sheldon Keefe out in Toronto

Fix the powerplay. Was Boucher a Treliving/Shanahan hire or a Keefe one?
