Torts

 

[Incognito]

The only real answer right now is Tortorella by default until Keefe develops some kind of a track record.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Ask me again next week

Who’s better: Jim who started on Tuesday or Bob who’s been doin the same job for 2 decades?

Clearly Torts right now.

Keefe is better than Babcock isn’t he?

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Very Premature.

Torts until Keefe proves otherwise. But I do like what I see so far.

Keefe is better than Babcock isn’t he?

Babcock is the guy that got fired because he made a big sale 10 years ago then followed it up with the worst numbers in the company for the next 10 years. Torts has had more success with less.

Anybody is better than Tortorella. That guy is a brash loudmouth who coaches really bad ugly hockey, and i'm still not over being subjected to watching "Torts hockey" on the Canucks. It's just so aesthetically unpleasant.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Torts easily.

 

[ClevelandUke]

Torts by alot

 

[JadedLeaf]

Ask again in 3-7 years

Keefe is better than Babcock isn’t he?

Babcock brought the leafs success, then they tuned him out.. along with some bad antics by Babs. At the moment Torts and Babcock are both better than Keefe.

 

[Space Coyote]

Is this a serious question?

 

[POVERTY]

Why would anyone ask this question

 

[BTrotts19]

I assume you're talking about at the AHL level because that's the only thing that remotely makes sense

 

[Cleetus]

wow why is the even posted, Keefe has not even finished his first cup of coffee in the NHL...

 

[MikeK]

Torts... by a lot

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

He might want to toss it out. That shit's gotta be cold by now.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Not fair to Keefe to ask this right now

 

[Halla]

what a terrible poll lol. Keefe is a rookie coach 1/2 a season deep

that being said he has a .628win% and has won at every level. Torts is at .553

 

[Morgs]

I wouldn't trade Keefe for Torts, and Keefe is the better coach for my team. I like his adaptability, the way he actually plays his best players, and I like his overall game play strategy.

I have a feeling these poll results will look silly in a couple years, but I'm not surprised HF wants to go with the old boys club over the rookie Leafs coach.

The only way they'll look silly is if Keefe gets back to back Cups or something.

Leafs are top 5, arguably top 2 roster in terms of talent. Getting anything less than major playoff success is failure.

When did he develop an obsession with shot-blocking?

When he won the Cup in 2004, he deployed an aggressive style for the time (although he did have his team use a variation of the trap).

Torts now, Keefe going forward.
