Confirmed with Link: Sheldon Keefe Fired -- Discussion Thread

[Tarmore]

I dont agree. Marner may find a new coach is not to his liking.

Absolutely a possibility, the opposite is possible too.

Looking forward to all the players that excel under a new coach.

 

[colchar]

I have always liked him. Boudreau would probably go the extra mile and be very passionate if he got the job.

He is a far better coach than Keefe was as well.

I saw something earlier this week (Overdrive? Marek?) in which they mentioned him and said that if he didn't get the job he was a possibility as an assistant, Apparently he has said for years that Toronto is the only place where he would consider serving as an assistant.

Bruce is easy to tune out, I'm sorry to say.

How the hell would you know?

They gotta give Claude Julien a look!

Playoff record wasn't good his last few years.

The young'uns have no idea what being a Leafs fan was like in the 80s. Spoiler: it was bad. Very, very bad.


This is the Leafs we're talking about. They will go for the biggest name available. Right now, that is Berube, so it will be him.

I don't agree much with your posts but the bolded....it really was. However, I dont believe the doom and gloomers viewpoint thought that if we move Marner we will automatically revert to those dark times.

 

[mikeyz]

Silly analogy, no one is asking them to praise them.

They know they didn't get it done.

Driving a player out of town on purpose is idiotic, but I don't expect much else from some.

So we’re supposed to reward 8 consecutive seasons of 1 playoff round won?

 

[myleafs]

What difference does it make who the coach is when we are on the verge of 1 of 2 things:

1. A re-tool
2. Blowing the team up

Both will likely result in another firing of a coach.

Does anyone really think that hiring just the right coach will make this shit team better?

It made the oilers better, but if thats all we do, we are doomed. edit...I dont believe that is all we will do.

My outside pick is Boudreau. I think he almost joined the team last year in some capacity.

"Boudreau has been a supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs since childhood, and admits that he still cheers for the club when the team does not face off against a squad that he is actively coaching, and watches Maple Leafs games on television when he is able to.["

I dont know....watching the Boudreau interview this year about the leafs he sounded a lot like someone who really liked our core guys and sounded a lot like someone who would coach them similar to what Keefe did.

Maybe. But, Do you want to hear an insane stat?


The 80s Leafs won more playoff rounds then this current Leafs core.

Elite baby

annie wilkes for coach. she wouldn't put up with any cockadoodie b*llshit

marner gets lazy on bostons game winning goal.... broken ankles

And she's easy on the eyes too.

On the coach, as I reported last month, I am still of the understanding that Berube is a top candidate to replace Sheldon Keefe. I believe the Leafs planned to speak with Berube over the weekend and despite Treliving emphasizing a thorough, but quick, search, if he wants the gig, it should be his. I do not get the sense Joel Quenneville is on their list, as the Leafs have not approached the NHL about his ineligible status, which has not changed.

Let's hope so.

There are a lot of options between making someone's life hard to force them to leave and rewarding them.

What’s his history coaching special teams? Maybe he’d make an all-star assistant.
I obviously love that he loves the team. He’s got some ‘listen to me’ experience.

And whoever it is,player development matters. Play the kids.
And Gio and Muzz, go coach JT he young D. In fact, hire Muzz to be personal coach for Lili to make him the Swedish Muzz - he’s got it in him.

Joel Quenneville will remain ineligible from coaching in the NHL, despite multiple clubs looking into the veteran signal-caller, shares David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period (Twitter link). Quenneville stepped down from the Florida Panthers on October 28, 2021, amid the Blackhawks sexual assault scandal.

It better be cause his mom lives in Toronto and he's visiting her for Mother's Day.

 

[AvroArrow]

Well from what I've heard Shanny and Tre met with Berube yesterday ? Not sure how credible but say quite a few people on Twitter saying they were spotted having dinner. They're probably interviewing all the candidates before making a final decision.

I won't believe it until Jon Morosi tweets about it.

Todd McLellan is Babcock's boy, they go way back.

I hope Todd's atleast gonna f*** with Marner a bit.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Should have just kept Keefe if they wanted a coach who loses all the time in the playoffs so badly

 

[Bomber0104]

The Leafs are literally the Thornton/Marleau-era Sharks so I can see why they think he'd be a fit.

Better be for just a interview
