Confirmed with Link: Keefe hired by Jersey as Head Coach

[rumman]

Good luck Sheldon, I’m sure MLSE ownership are happy they’re off the hook for paying the extension that should have never been inked……..

 

[mikeyz]

He is a very good regular season coach.

Fixed it for you.

 

[rumman]

Marner to NJ can't be far off. They deserve each other.

Ever Keefe’s stupidity has limits, and he doesn’t need that drama in his new gig……..

 

[Buds17]

Shananhan to Rags President next. Already lives there

Cup win here first though!

 

[Racer88]

I wish him all the best. I just don’t think he was equipped to handle the new Muskoka 5

 

[Kiwi]

Happy for him, seems like a good guy who deserves another chance

It didn't work here and he needed to go but I think NJ made a smart hire

Best of luck Sheldon

Maybe Devil’s management won’t tell him to apologize to the players after holding them accountable like Leaf management did………

Why should he have never been signed if they got out of it?

Treliving came in too late to make the switch last year even if he wanted to. Keefe was a lame duck coach and that's not what they wanted. So they extended him and were prepared to eat the salary if they fired him. They probably also knew he would get a job quickly if they did let him go.

It seems to have worked out

Cup win here first though!

For sure, no doubt !

Marner to Pittsburg is my guess

 

[rumman]

Marner to Pittsburg is my guess

Can they afford him? Who or what’s coming back?

 

[Trapper]

Looks like I’ll be watching some NJ regular season hockey. Maybe more if they run this back.

Same reason they shouldn’t have extended Nylander mid season, to motivate them to perform. Do you know how much you feed a horse so he works all day? Just enough so he know’s he’s hungry……..

Dubas “can and he will “ afford him…….even if he has to gut the rest of the team. It’s his thing

Exactly.

Our lack of success was mostly Dubas and his poor construction. No coach could get this failed rebuild over the hump. TIME FOR A REBOOT.

If I’m boycotting the Leafs I’m choosing a better option than the Devils to follow, although the last year of Dubas I didn’t watch any hockey period……..

 

[Leafsfan74]

Good for him. He wasn't a bad coach and he kept his head up in public. He should have been more vocal early on but he had to come in to basically be a Big Brother to some of the players who were shellshocked from the demands of Babcock,.

Never had a number one goalie and had some of the most coddled and uninspired stars in the NHL. Devils are a fast team with many holes, but Keefe is in the right place I suppose.

“We can and we will……” good times indeed………

You think our lack of goals in the playoffs came from Keefe not being hungry enough?

 

[Clark4Ever]

Congrats to Keefe. I think that's a great landing spot for him.

 

[Leafs98]

I was really hoping he'd become a tv analyst and spill the juicy details

 

[Dekes For Days]

Was pretty clear he'd get scooped up quick. Seems like a good spot for him. I wish him well (against everybody but the Leafs).

 

[rumman]

No, I’m saying those with expiring contacts are put on notice, want a new deal, perform……..

 

[Trapper]

Looks like I’ll have to buy NHL 25, trade everyone and win the Cup by myself.

 

[ACC1224]

First Dubas, now Keefe. Look out, Metropolitan Division!

Keeping both of them in the East can only be seen as a good thing.
