Keefe and one of the "Core Four" should have been publicly executed following the Montreal Debacle. Now it's just too late.
A coaching change isn't enough. Watching these round 2 games and how violent and mean-spirited they are, the core 4 are not contenders for anything. They are not built to win, they don't have the personnel to play the game the way the second round is showing it needs to be played. The Shanaplan is a failure, and any "retool" to remake the team in a way that can play the games the way they need to be played is just a waste of everyone's time. It needs a rebuild.
and go ahead and put him back in charge of DoPS while we're at it.
When all of them underperform their regular season stats every single post season and have never won a game 7, yeah it’s becoming pretty obvious they don’t have the same drive as other players do.
I recall what Chelios said about Shanahan. Don't think he thinks too highly of him. Shanahan is a politician. Even Politicians run their course. Really he effed up when he took on Dubas. The organization was on the verge of doing something special. But Dubas/Shanahan were a disaster in terms of contracts, culture, the sense of entitlement that perforated this team, to the Dubas effects of losing key character players. I will just name 2 Hyman and Kadri. Heck I was watching last night, and the first 2 players that scored in the Edmonton - Vancouver game were Dubas players let go. Hyman and Dakota Joshua. The guy is just full of bad player calls. But Shanahan should be accountable. This mess is his baby that the Dubas hiring created. Dubas hired Keefe.
