luckily that’s just overly simplistic bullshit narrative and he’s a solid coach in the real world.“Let’s avoid turning into the soft skilled, choke artist Leafs”
*hires Keefe*
I think I’m going to be sick. Absolutely not what this team needs
This group needs a mf’er for a few years to push back on some of the egos developing here.luckily that’s just overly simplistic bullshit narrative and he’s a solid coach in the real world.
Canes don't have a game breaker. We do.
Good on them!
Personally, I don’t care about NHL coaching experience or the need to recycle someone because they’ve coached in the NHL before. I just want them to find the right coach because if we’re in the same situation again in three or four years with the team not succeeding, then what’s the point?
I know this is a pipe dream, but I would love for the team to find their version of Bednar or Cooper, a coach that the team can grow with. Now I know these are unicorns who had success in other leagues before coming to the NHL and the exception not the rule, but I would love for them to find someone like that.
So I would interview anyone and everyone including David Carle, Jon Gruden, Karl Taylor, Marco Sturm And make sure to leave no stone unturned before deciding.
Keefe’s “everybody have fun” game 7 message makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.
Why do you want him removed from the crew?Yeah I think I'm leaning towards wanting Keefe out of this crew.
Someone post the lockYea I think I'm locked into Keefe as my #1 choice
The people who are anti Brind'Amour are nuts. Yes, they're down 0-3. But, they also have gone to OT twice and they controlling stretches of play. The Rangers have the better players. The only reason it's close is Rod (and the Canes' commitment to executing his system).
Meanwhile, the only way I see Keefe in Pitt is if Sullivan resigns on his own. Even then, it's a gamble for Dubas to bring in his buddy after a string of high profile flops.
Dubas and Keefe may be reunited, but I think Keefe has to go earn his stripes somewhere else (NJ?) first.
Exactly - …”He led the Maple Leafs to an impressive 212-97-40 regular-season record”…luckily that’s just overly simplistic bullshit narrative and he’s a solid coach in the real world.
Who said anything about yelling? One thing you can do to help your defensemen is install values like back checking so they can step easier and on a miss, they have immediate help. Demand more of this forward group.You can't just yell and suddenly your defensemen learn how to play.
Keefe was a miracle worker with the trash the leafs threw out on defense. Edmondson, 40yo Giordano, Klingberg, etc.
Need someone that can work with Bahl, Hughes, and Nemec.
Kovalchuk usage was from DeBoer. Another players' coach that was very smart with tactics.
You’re underlining the wrong part…Exactly - …”He led the Maple Leafs to an impressive 212-97-40 regular-season record”…
What metrics are you looking at that show Keefe to be a poor defensive coach? Public enemy number 1 in their core Mitch Marner turned into a top 3 Selke candidate under Keefe. Matthews was also one of the best two way forwards in the league while scoring over 60 goals.Who said anything about yelling? One thing you can do to help your defensemen is install values like back checking so they can step easier and on a miss, they have immediate help. Demand more of this forward group.
Without Lemaire, kovalchuk would’ve NEVER been able to be used how he was under DeBoer. Killing penalties, etc. It was one of the greatest transformations I’ve ever witnessed.
DeBoer is an excellent coach. He was even better for a group of veterans that had tasted some success and knew how to play. This group is about the antithesis of that. A drill sergeant is needed.
lol, playoffs ? Playoffs ?You’re underlining the wrong part…
