New Head Coach search

If you put everyone at the top of the list, doesn't it just become a list again?

This just in… half of the viable candidates are at the top of the list!

Well Lebrun said on May 7th the Devils hope to have a coach hired in 7-10 days and they'd have a clearer picture at the end of the week which is probably Keefe getting fired and Berube becoming the top candidate for Toronto. So maybe the Devils hire Keefe/Woodcroft by the end of this week? I feel like it's a higher chance for Keefe at this point because you'd think Woodcroft would have been hired already if he was their #1 candidate but at the same time maybe they just wanted to cover all their bases and only just got the chance to interview Keefe now.

 

[Unknown Caller]

I’m good with Keefe or Woodcroft (would probably prefer Keefe). Berube over either one would be pretty disappointing at this point.

 

[MadDevil]

Yes, please. Do it Toronto.

Some nhl channel host say keefe gets outcoached esp in a 7 game series. I think the results kinda prove them right

Well unfortunately the coaches doing the “out-coaching” are the ones who aren’t available for hiring so you do the best you can with your options and Keefe is up there.

Cons: Palat's contract

Toronto outplayed Boston in that series. Its just that Boston got way better goaltending IMO.

Its not like we are a consistent regular season team where the playoffs are a foregone conclusion yet either.

You gotta remember that these are just simple HFboarders. These are people of the internet. The common clay of the new web. You know.... morons.

I'll have you know I resemble that remark.

Cons: Palat's contract

We need that Palat contract to live on if we want the @NjDevsRR and @Dylan9z9 bloodfeud to continue.

I didn't read McCellan so that there should be a celebrated win.

If it isn’t McClellan it will be Sherman or Grant.

Which vacant NHL head coaching job is most appealing?

With 24 of the NHL's 32 teams in offseason mode, the coaching carousel is starting to spin. On Tuesday alone the St. Louis Blues removed the interim tag from Drew Bannister and the Ottawa Senators tabbed Travis Green as their next head coach. The Buffalo Sabres brought back Lindy Ruff in...

There are also no off-ice concerns with the organization.

Good thing Michael McPOS is gone....

While I do have my doubts about Keefe in the playoffs (the fact they so often start series poorly is worrisome), I don't think you can attribute their woes entirely, or even mostly, to him being outcoached when you look at the flaws they have on their roster.

 

[Guttersniped]

Toronto outplayed Boston in that series. Its just that Boston got way better goaltending IMO.

Toronto’s had some bad playoff losses, like 2020 to Columbus or 2021 to Montreal, but I wouldn’t lump this in with those.

Something was wrong with Matthews, who missed 2 games, and Nylander, who missed 3.
Yeah, Matthews has been iffy in several playoffs, but these two guys scored 36% of their goals.

Their defense was f***ing brutal. Brodie played 78 regular season games, with the 2nd most ATOI after Reilly, and then played 1 playoff game.

Keefe was dead meat unless he took that team on a very unlikely playoff run. Treliving didn’t hire him and had a Lou-esque trigger finger with coach firing’s in Calgary. They’re stuck with the core four for another year so this was the one way to shake things up.

 

[glenwo2]

The more I read about Keefe here, the more I wouldn't mind him if we can't land Sullivan.

 

[Dylan9z9]

If it isn’t McClellan it will be Sherman or Grant.

Could be Burnside

Sherman is on the march to be the Atlanta Flames new coach.




Too soon?

Who is this Palat you speak of?

You must be mistaken for Andre Palot
