They will learn lessons but I think his point is it will take 4-5 seasons for them to actually be good enough and comfortable enough to be relied upon in an all situation role

Perhaps, or maybe they are ready far sooner than that

At least now they know what to expect and can start working towards it

Cringe. Keefe called a spade a spade. Nothing wrong with that.

I like that Keefe did that. He saw the same thing we did and stated it. He didn’t single anybody out. If I were Keefe I would have called out those two supposed tough players on the fourth line. Worthless players if they’re not doing what they’re supposed to do.

Seriously, how long can a talented team be allowed to under perform. 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs. What us your answer.
Would this team be better right NOW if Boudreau was behind the bench.
This team is lost and does not know how to win consistently. They have players not allowed to play their roles.
Keefe has had enough time.
Winning is the only goal, not liking, not loving the team,
Remember 1967....Raptors won with bold moves, TFC were Champs, Jay's won, Leafs????
Again, Keefe has had enough time.

Lots of time to the finals to learn. May e the best chance at winning a cup is growing your young players so they can contribute more. What is playing a vet in the regular season gonna do to help you win the cup?

Regular season is fine and if playing against better opposition on second pair makes them better when they go back to playing 3rd pair, great. It is the playoffs where we can't have what happened to Sandy last year happen in a serious cup run.
 
Thinking this will be a relatively easy win tonight with Mrazek playing well.

Keefe is the soft one. He has discouraged aggressive activities, now for 1 game he wants it......haha

Discouraged it? When things got sideways against the Jets...he literally put a winger, Kyle Clifford, at center...just so he could throw out Ritchie-Clifford-Simmonds lol
Keefe used to play the game hard himself. Not sure how he's discouraged it. He's coaching a soft team as beat he can. We got rougher up front with Ritchie, but he's been a liability so now he's riding the pine. We lost Bogosian on D, and we're letting Sandin/Liljegren/Dermott fill that hole. We got softer than we were last year. That's on Dubas, not on Keefe. We need toughness that can play top 9 and be effective. Simmonds is great at 4RW. Ritchie & Clifford haven't been good enough to hold down a 4th line role. We're by all accounts a soft team...but I'm not sure how Keefe has "discouraged aggressive activities"

Hopefully Joey Anderson can bring some spark to that 4th line tonight. Clifford-Spezza-Simmonds has been a liability of a unit. Ritchie has worked better there than Clifford has imo. Anderson has a real opportunity to grab a spot on this team, he's got to take hold of one of these chances
