I never defended Pittsburgh, and I don't like Dubas at all. I was a critic of his pretty much his entire tenure here.Bozo the Keefe is a terrible NHL coach - - he’s proven that over the past half decade of constantly being outcoached in the playoffs.
Last week a New Jersey player flat out said the team needs to play with more intensity - - exactly the same issue that Toronto had - - and Bozo the Keefe threw a tantrum and blamed the player instead of acknowledging that he’s a soft coach.
Look at the debacle unfolding in Pittsburgh, terrible contracts and hopelessly inept goaltending. Exact same problem that happened in Toronto. The only difference is that Pittsburgh doesn’t have young talent like Matthews, Marner and Nylander to overcome the incompetent GM.
NJ is significantly better than last year, and hanging your assessment on a player saying "we need to be more intense" is a pretty weak argument.
For the record Keefe is 8th in Win % among active NHL coaches, Berube is 6th. Not much daylight between them really.
