If anyone should be sitting it should be Brodie or Edmunson. Both are bad and unlike Lilly have been shit all season long, not just for a short stretch.
brodie for sure. what happens when gi
o comes back lol- thankfully both gone next year- reilly better be playoff reilly too.
Having a bunch of 3rd pairing guys is not going to get wins for this team. Losing out on Tanev is huge. Lilly deserves ice time more than Edmondson or a Brodie

If we don't play Lilly we will have virtually no d other than Rielly to be part of the offense ... High cycle etc... So teams will have far less to concern themselves with. So it should be some sort of rotation. No way Benoit deserves to not play at all.

Liljegren and Edmundson both stink.
If Keefe is gonna take Benoit out for either of those two he's even dumber than I thought. Considering I think he's about as smart as a bag of hair that's saying a lot. If you gave Keefe a lobotomy it might actually make him smarter.
I know I wouldn't take anything he says too seriously.
He says a lot of dumb things. Big surprise, I know. It makes for some good entertainment at times.
But usually it just makes him look and sound like the pathetic grovelling buttkisser he is.
The product of an organization lacking accountability. They should just fire his ass now. Get someone who won't take every opportunity to deflect his shortcomings onto the players.
That includes keeping Liljegren in the lineup ahead of Benoit because reasons that don't make sense.

I don't think Liljegren is bad at all, he's just been bad for a few games really bad, but so has much of this team. This 4 day respite hopefully cures what ails us. That game tonight was horrible, maybe the worst of the year

Benoit should be safe. Really unfair to expect him to have 82 perfect (pass / fail) games. Even if he blossomed into a no.1, he'd still have at least 1 bad stretch of games. He's not a no.1, so if Keefe wants 100% perfection ALWAYS, he's the problem and doesn't know how to handle a team.
Chances are the Leafs utilize all 7D in the playoffs anyway due to injuries
It's seems when he feels pressure from big opposing players he gets jittery and gives up the puck to soon.
I hope he can get it out of his mind.
The problem is the 2 teams we need to beat Boston and Florida have big forwards and apply a heavy forcheck.
I think in the summer he will be traded along with our 1st for a dman.

That was coached into him by the idiot coach.
Every mistake he makes is handled harsher than any other D player the last 3 years.
His confidence is shot because the Jr B coach doesn’t know how to develop D men (among many other things) and uses him as a whipping boy for his “authority”.
Benoit should have played in his hometown
The whole bunch has played like crap
Including Reilly since his dumb suspension

I thought Brodie played much better when he was paired with Liljegren and put on his natural left side. If Lilly continues to play the way he has lately, then he should be the odd man out.

I just hope Lilly is not returning to the player he was at the end of last season and being scratched for the playoffs.

"We love the depth that Benoit has brought to us and his ability to come in, but Lily playing tonight was important and it is important for us to continue to work with him. Obviously, Benoit is going to keep the group hungry as are Giordano and Timmins as they continue to work their way back to health."

this is the leftover stench you get from the Dumbass touchy feely era
Brodie has been ass almost all season but you know it'll take a miracle before Keefe hurts his feelings and sits him.

Another factor (not sure if it's been brought up already or not) is that if I'm not mistaken, Benoit is a pending UFA. Would have been so easy to just site Brodie and let Benoit play instead of leaving him with the memory of being benched for a game where he really wanted to play, and deserved to play.
Keefe is such a moron. That is all.

He is a POS coach. The teams constant PO failures have always been a 2 part recipe to date. 1. Part Keefe and the other part Dubas.
Tre put together a tougher team this time around but there is no money for quality depth grit. I guess we are just going to have to wait and see. That and once again see if the usual suspect chokers on the team blow it again. Brodie for exanple

I didn't see his comments.
What does Benoit have to do with Liljegren's feelings on Keefe?

The rest of the quote is about Lilly getting squeezed at the deadline the past two years, and they think he’s been worried it will happen again this year and it has affected his play. They felt he needed to feel secure that Eddy was added essentially to be his partner, so they needed to play him even though this would be a sentimental game for Benoit.
And candlesticks always make a nice gift.
