Series Talk: Sheldon Keefe: in memoriam

[BayStBullies]

Good riddance. Enough years lost. A shame Dubas will drown with his mistake.

Bright side in this whole debacle.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

LOL, living in Calgary, Sutter is not the answer to anyones coaching issues.

Curious as to why. He's probably the biggest prick coach in the game today, save Torts who's already employed.

We had a tough Coach and they cried him off the team.

 

[OddyOh]

Haha for those of you that want Sullivan. He doesn't coach the Pens, Crosby does.

Great, we’ll take Crosby then!

 

[Azail]

Curious as to why. He's probably the biggest prick coach in the game today, save Torts who's already employed.

There is quite a bit of information coming out about what was happening in that dressing room. Again living here, it's much more in my face about what was happening. All my flames fans friends are livid with what he did to the team.

Don't get me wrong the coach doesn't play the game. But one example that came out was he was upset with how poor the powerplay was in Calgary. However it was reported they never actually practiced the powerplay this year under him. Just weird shit like that, that doesn't make any sense.

I wonder what in-game adjustments future legend Keefe will make it they can't score

 

[Racer88]

Good riddance. Enough years lost. A shame Dubas will drown with his mistake.

This is Dubas’s fault for trying to re-invent the wheel

 

[crowsnestmcgee]

dubas should stay keefe should go

 

[ShaneFalco]

dubas should stay keefe should go

why?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Curious as to why. He's probably the biggest prick coach in the game today, save Torts who's already employed.

That Huberdeau bathroom break fiasco was truly a spectacle to behold.

Kerfoot to line 1

 

[Beaumaris]

Hard to coach when your best players disappear, but he’s been completely cowed by those soft players. He knows that he’s lower in the pecking order than Matthews and Marner, so he’s never criticized them. Can’t have a soft coach.

He’ll probably learn this lesson and coach again in the league. If Dallas Ekins can get a second job, Keefe will. Best of luck to him.

Surely the coach is (at least partially) responsible for how his
top players perform.

He could always put the Leafs' other 40 goal scorer back on the 1st PP unit.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

We had a tough Coach and they cried him off the team.

Absolutely, I hated that it happened but I’d put that mostly on Dubas and Shanny succumbing to the whims of these crybabies

 

[sxvnert]

Let's be honest here it's not a matter of whether Keefe will be fired, the conversation should be whether he'll coach in the NHL ever again.

He's been absolutely owned by every opposing coach in every playoff series he's coached in. His inability to adapt has been a huge problem and it has wasted the window that we had with the core 4.

New coach wishlist:
*Experienced veteran
*Not a candy ass, must be able to hold players accountable
*Does not need to be best buds with the GM
*Must love bag skates

Wherever Dubas finds another gig, so will Keefe.

Also his decent ability to deal with the massive TO media will ensure he gets another gig no matter what.

Whatever adjustments he'll make you can bet Maurice will have an answer for, getting out-coached is just what Keefe does best

I don't think Keefe needs KD to get another gig. The success that stuck to Wilson and McLellan after they left the Sharks will tempt some club. Dave Hakstol looks like a genius right now but nobody believed that in Philly except for Hextall. I don't feel Keefe was the best fit for the culture and the lineup he was handed but he might be that somewhere else. I am not an SK fan but I could see where not all players are following him to the letter. That was a thing in Edmonton for years.

 

[Petrus]

dubas should stay keefe should go

Dubas has a super car on his hands and hired a race car driver in Keefe who doesn’t know how to use the paddle shifters.

They both need to go.

 

[IPS]

It was actually hilarious how bad his lineup choices looked tonight.

Thank god for Joseph Woll

 

[sxvnert]

Switch it up:

Tavares Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Lafferty Nylander*
OReilly* Kampf Acciari
Bunting --------- Jarnkrok
*-faceoffs

Rielly Schenn
Brodie Holl
McCabe Lily
Gio

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I thought Keefe made some good defensive adjustments tonight. Still not much of an answer for the offensive woes though; two goals a game won't cut it

 

[sunstersun]

I wish this game were in Florida so we could leave Keefe off the bus.

 

[supermann_98]

Will be glad to not see this fat bloated clown behind the bench anymore

 

[Puckstuff]

If Keefe is back, I won't be watching next season.
