Most likely but if he took IPS' advice he could have just said "I need to be better".

Would love hear what good ol' Darren Ferris has to say about his golden boy now. The audacity of thinking this kid deserves a 10+M contract. What a f*** up. Everyone in that room got f***ed that day. Everyone + the fans.

His favourite pumper seems to have gone into hiding. Smart move.

I think that's a bit unfair. He seems to be on his game early on, and just loses it when the intensity and pressure ramps up. He's just such a timid player who lets big moments eat him alive. I really hope they move on from him

He’s here (like it or not) but if he can help the team win now all the better. Go get it.
If not and he got traded I wouldn’t shed a tear.

Just before you posted this, I said that no matter what he says, I DON'T have an issue with it.

Love that he’s more angry with the media than the other team who just concussed his twenty year old teammate.

He really doesn't handle the media well, at all. And unfortunately it seems to manifest itself as pressure on the guy at the worst timed on the ice - his fumbling of the puck last game I think was definitely the result of that.
Despite the hate he's got the capability to still win the series for the team - which at this point is a big ask - but if he and the rest of the core want to stick around he's got to do it.

The level of idiocy in this thread has gone off the rails.
I wouldnt have an issue with him saying “ I’ve been terrible this series, it’s unacceptable especially with the amount of money I make. I need to be much better moving forward. “
If its the quote im thinking of, he said in 10-15 years Sheldon will be spoken of the way Pete Deboer and Barry Trotz are.
While I like both, im not sure that quote is Dubas saying Keefe is a legend.

He is in his own reality. It's pretty obvious at this point that he can't take criticism or anything.

Nice work, give yourself a pat on the back.
Yeah I think that was the quote. So he didn't use the word "legend" but same general idea, legend was just the way I remembered it. Either was, Keefe has a long way to to get to the level of those guys, just a totally ridiculous thing to say IMHO.
In other news, Eichel is in the playoffs for the first time and he's playing fantastic. If he keeps it up we might have to revisit the Marner vs Eichel debate at some point in the future. It looked like the debate was over not long ago and Marner wins but who knows, it might end up being a case of who would you rather have, someone who kills it during the regular season or someone who plays his best hockey in the playoffs. Funny how quickly things can change.
This is kinda my point though, he said in 10-15 years Keefe would be considered at a similar level to 2 available coaches. Theyre both good coaches and im fine if we get them or a similar level coach in the future. Between them, theyve combined for 1 cup. This isnt Scotty Bowman.
We're a year after the fact (little less) and you thought Dubas called Keefe a future legend.

This is what we saw in the Montreal series. Montreal covered 5-on-4 all other Leafs when Marner had the puck which forced Marner to shoot. Carey Price ate up his shots like beachballs. It's a pretty bad sign when the other team wants a player to have the puck because he's the least dangerous player on the ice.
