Confirmed with Link: Sheldon Keefe Fired -- Discussion Thread

[LeafsFan89]

It's May 9th, camp opens in 4 months.

Very true. Sorry for being pessimistic lol.

Better late than never?

 

[Stephen]

Bare minimum level of change has been achieved.

 

[Divine]

Dubas already asking for permission

 

[SoVi3t]

Toodles!!!!

 

[The Iceman]

Thanks for all the respect in the handshake line.

He'll need to change his system to be more off the rush based in the future if he truly wants playoff success.

I assume he'll be in Pittsburgh as the AHL coach by next week

He has an untouched contract extension that he can sit on. No rush to get back IMO.

 

[ACC1224]

They aren't going to bring in Sutter
Do people even follow the league?

 

[IPS]

This organization is always years late on their moves. Keefe should have been fired after the Montreal series, but they are several years late on this firing.

Now the next "assessment" the clowns in upper management are gonna come to is that the core "needs" another chance with another coach. If we fired Keefe when we should have, this "chance" should have already happened. If that does end up happening, my interest in next season is almost already cooked.

friedman - doesn't see joel Q due to situation

 

[Dragao6]

Means little if the man making decisions is still the same

 

[TMLeafer]

Bound to happen... But not the only fix the team needs.

Sutter incoming?

 

[RomanianLeafs]

MLSE: "See! We're making changes!"
*Runs back same core players for the 9th year in a row under a third head coach.

So i guess u think on 9th may somebody trades for marner or tavares? Are u in kindergarden cause this is a kid's post

Bruh it’s the only thing they can do right now. I think there will be serious change this coming season. One of Rielly or Marner is gone IMO. There will be a shake up to the core. I also believe Liljegren will be moved.

NAH, reality is Tree lived through this in Calgary. Won't let another Johnny Gaudreau situation happen.

 

[hamzarocks]

Was dubas the one who passed all tests or was that Keefe?

I know keefe was supposed to be a legend in Toronto.

Maybe his firing starts a legendary run for toronto

It just allows him to be more picky. If NJ offers him the job tomorrow, he would probably take it. If SJ offers him one? Maybe not, even with Celebrini.

Not necessarily, a coach with an abrasive personality might set a different tone in the room.

 

[The Masters]

Friedman says he got info on Shanny at noon with Marek

You don't think the Coach was the Coach?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Berube please

 

[MK78]

This should have been done last year.

Lol There’s 3 other openings right now,

Seattle, Winnipeg and New Jersey. Keefe would be a good fit in Seattle. Younger group, hungry. I think he’s a decent coach and a good guy, with the right personnel who want to play the right way Keefe could find success.

agree and he shoulda never been hired in the first place

 

[81Leafs50]

I'm not a fan of Keefe at all. But the players who are underachieving on BIG deals need to step up. Mitch Marner comes to mind.

 

[SprDaVE]

Whoever is the next coach will probably get the same amount of hate. Can't wait.
