Fixed your question for you.
The answer is some smart guy said some time that he’s a future legend of a coach and we need to piss away as many years with him behind the bench until he finds his legendary-ness.
Let us bask in the fact that when he realizes his legendiosity, that we will be the few who can say “we knew him when”.
I’m practicing my basking as we speak….

Like i get blaming Samsonov on some games, like those Columbus games where he had a sub .800. But games like last night were not on him, he was good enough.
Lol it’s about to be 50+ for a year too
And then take into consideration Bert, domi, klingberg and the promotions of Robertson, knies
I get klingberg got hurt, but your 2 biggest signings and 2 “rookies” are offensively-minded
part of that is Tavares regressing and Marner being below his totals, but it’s also because we have like 15 goals in the first half of the season from our depth lol
I was expecting us to be a top 3 offensive team and maybe a top 10-15 defensive team, I was willing to live with that but we are below in both standards I believe

Been saying it for a while, Keefe MUST put the three amigos on 3 different lines and let them drive their lines for higher probability of offense, some balanced scoring and a more structured look. Also helps keep TOI in check instead of overplaying any said player.
If still chasing the game in the 3rd period he can stack em up. Starting with a stack mentality is really stupid IMO given the cap distribution and team composition

I'm down for any line changes. Sticking with Matthews-Marner and Tavares-Nylander doesn't seem to be getting the most out of our roster.

Agreed, is Keefe that dumb or are the inmates making the call? I know Nylander isn’t begging to play with JT or Toothless Joe

Matthews and Marner are making the call, probably. They want to play together.
So sick of our spineless leadership if Marner and Matthews are puling to play together like some snot-nosed Peewees.
Want to play together, don’t do stupid shit and suck when you get the chance to play together.
They need to be separated and if they are making noise, management needs to take this team back, hard.
What a bunch of snowflakes if this is what’s really going on.
What I would give a Pat Quinn/Pat Burns GM/Coach combination to shred these guys…

Always funny when some fantasy is made up, gets repeated like it's a fact and then people get upset by it .

That's a pretty serious shot at Liljegren from Keefe.

Should be no reason to worry, but the reality is different so I completely understand why some people are fretting/worrying.
I'm not too worried because for the first time in years, I see our cup chances at being near zero so it doesn't matter that much either way. And if we don't make it, we get a higher 1st round pick and maybe Keefe gets fired, both those things would help us future years IMO.

Playing a better team, I expect a better Leafs effort, entertainment product. Weird as it is.
I believe they just need to play like they did against the Islanders. Just clean up the glaring errors. Their effort was great all night on Monday

Dallas on a B2B with the backup goalie, seems like an automatic Leaf loss. If Leaf’s were on a B2B and facing Oettinger, Leafs win

They sure did. It prompted the Sens to make a coaching change. They wanted a similar benifit.
They also benefited from McDavid actually playing like McDavid (and not being injured), Drai actually playing like Drai, and actually getting a stop now and then from their goalies.
Not saying don't change Keefe, but I don't see a 17 game winning streak in our future even with a change.

Keefe is well below average.
Not that he can do much with this fair weather crew.
Keefe getting out coached in the playoffs again is too much.
Tre better be ready when a good coach comes
The last article on mapleleafshotstove pointed out the issues. Was very good. Critical of Keefe. Saying he shows a lack of imagination. Keefe must not be a Wonka fan he certainly lacks pure imagination. Re-signing Keefe was Brad's worst move.
