Speculation: There's 18 games left in the season. Why would there be a coaching change at this point?

There wouldn't be one right now.
This off-season though it's very likely unless they finally play up to expectations.

I think the formula is pretty simple right now. He wins another playoff round he gets to keep his job. Lose in the first round and he's fired.
No point in firing him right now, but we should at the end of the season. IMO he needs to get out of our division to survive. He’s not a good coach.
The only reason would be to try to roll into the playoffs one the new coach’s honeymoon phase/“new-coach bump”

Everyone seems eager to fire the coach, perhaps in anticipation of directing their frustrations toward the next coach. Within a year, they’ll likely be clamoring for the new coach’s firing as well.
I've watched this play out over and over again.

Unless the wheels go off the cliff, there is no chance he gets fired. His fate depends on this years playoff results. If the team gets bounced in the first round, he’s 100% a goner.

It would take something like a heart attack for SK not to finish the year. Did somebody that wasn't drunk suggest that? link please
This new boss will want to instill some fingerprints on this organization
Money aside the leafs will be different unless we run the table,and quite Franky it should ,it's time for the rock stars to rock

There's zero reason to believe Shanny/Tre have any current desire to get rid of Keefe. There hasn't been a peep from any media sources, and Tre even went out of his way to give Keefe a multi year extension - he's his guy.

That's cause they are not actually trying to win hockey games. They are just trying to appease certain players, and sell jerseys. It's a real shame what's going on here. If they actually cared about winning the cup, this core would have been shaken up long time ago and they would have hired a real coach.

Who’s saying he’s gonna be fired soon? I think if the Leafs don’t at least make it a competitive second round he will be gone. I’m fine with him being turfed anyways after the playoffs if there is a better option.

I bet he’s here next season as well no matter what happens in these playoffs.
Good God, I hope not. I'm probably one of, if not the only guy on this site, that has been ok with him not being fired this season (for context, I would have had no problem with him getting canned before the season started). But if they go out first round this year, he HAS to go. If Brad doesn't can him, then Brad has to go, too. But to what you just posted, who the hell knows at this point?
There wouldn't be a coaching change at this point, obviously.
And there's really no reason to anyway.

None, but many Leaf fans on HF/Twitter want him replaced even this late into the season.
The Leafs won last night and yet they were going nuts about the roster decisions, line combos, etc.

Keefe's days should be numbered by now.
The team's been a consistent loser with that turd behind the bench. He has one plan for every series. Play the crap out of the stars in attempt to outscore your problems.
If that doesn't work just play them some more.
The idea of trying something else never seems to have crossed his mind. So bizarre Keefe would watch his team fail every year and keep doing the same thing anyway. That's not insanity.
It's stupidity.
Even if Babcock wasn't the right coach for this team that doesn't mean Keefe is. A half decade later and the team might actually have regressed since Keefe took over. If he fails again this year I can't think of any reason they should be giving this guy another chance.
Then again, given a choice between hiring someone competent, or persisting with a bumbling fool, ML$E has chosen the latter every time.
