Sheldon Keefe out in Toronto

[TMLeafer]

First Babcock was the problem, then Keefe. Ever think it’s the Sore Four? Nah, couldn’t be!

OK, but 2 coaches in 8 years isn't exactly crazy either. I think he was the 4th longest tenured in the league before this firing.

*shocked Pikachu face*

 

[nucks88]

Shocker....

 

[John Price]

He had to go

blow it all up

 

[Canadian Game]

Hahahahaha.

When Matthews doesn’t score, Marner does nothing again…fire the coach I guess.

Crazy thought, but what if Keefe AND the core 4 were part of the problem? The Leafs have only won 1 series under Keefe and they just went 1/21 on the PP vs Boston.

The Leafs need a fresh voice and someone who will hold the players accountable. I also doubt Keefe is the only move the Leafs will be making this summer.

Tortz would be funnier, but he has a job

Torts would be a great fit in Toronto. He's only gotten out of the first round thrice in the last 20 years.

this was expected... i assume this wont be the end of a massive Leaf overhaul.

Keefe isnt the problem though... but when there are issues with teams, its always the coach that gets fired first

 

[hamzarocks]

It was a given that Keefe had to be fired. The lack of success in the playoffs made it inexcusable to keep him. He’s a decent coach but it was clearly time to move on.

At the same time, the Leafs are probably just going to fire him and do nothing else, which isn’t going to solve their issues whatsoever. They’re absolutely going to scapegoat him and maybe Marner while ignoring the cancer at the top of the organization.

The cancer is on the ice now

2 out of 3 cancers in coaching/managerial roles are gone

Dubas is gone

Keefe is gone

Shanahan 1 more year before his deal expires

2 cancers on the ice are marner and tavares. 3 and 2 pts in 7 gsmes vs that boston team lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

We sure that isn't a troll account ? Can't imagine why he'd be fired...

 

[Warden of the North]

Tortz would be funnier, but he has a job

I'd be fine with that.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

pls hire Hakstol

Keefe has also had his warts while coaching the Leafs. Special teams is the big one. He's handcuffed regarding the offence when he has had such a poor defence regarding their offensive capabilities, and the stars have not pulled their weight. But he should've figured out something for the power play. Even teams that suck ass can usually do that if they try hard enough.

He's a good coach, and should receive another coaching job at some point. And he will probably have a pretty good career as an NHL coach.

I don’t disagree, but this has a lot to do with them being handcuffed due to the clauses on the core’s contracts.

 

[hangman005]

I'd be fine with that.

There are times I'd take Tortz on Vegas if for nothing more than to kick some ass that needs kicking

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Ironically the coach and the system is what gave Toronto a chance to beat Boston as the series went on.

 

[MoneyManny]

The chicken lays an egg, blame the cow. So very corporate of them, not surprised.

 

[ijuka]

Deserved. Keefe sucks.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Lucky bastard.

Fly far. Far, far away.

 

[SenzZen]

Now that he's out of the way, the sky's the limit!

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

this was something Treliving had to do no doubt about it... it was a very easy and safe decision to do this. The real question now will be just how ballsy Treliving is and what he will do next

 

[Amadeus]

Excellent coach but unfortunately for him he got to coach mental midgets.

 

[GKJ]

Another coach who signed an extension and will coach zero games on it.

 

[Relapsing]

Doesn't matter who's coaching the roster as is. They aren't doing anything in the post season but lose.

 

[EpochLink]

Never understood the hype in this guy, the media thought he was the next Scotty Bowman from all the years they pumped his tires.

 

[Jacob582]

Now fire Shanny
