Plus he's very stubborn and doesn't switch up the lines when things go south.

Send Shanahan a Fart in a Jar addressed from Keefe?

Shanahan loves fart smell...which why he hired a shitty GM to sit next to him in the press box.

This really is all Keefe has in his bag of tricks isn't it...flipping Marner and Willie.

I get the criticisms of him, but the reality is that within two or three weeks, once the Leafs catch up to other teams in games played, they will be second or third in the conference. No coach in that spot gets fired. Whether he is the right guy for the job is a different story (and I'm not sure he is), but Treliving won't fire a guy whose team is that high in the standings.
What did Keefe say that was so bad about Samsonov? I watched the post game and he said nothing out of conduct.

Firing a coach during the regular season feels like playing with fire - in terms of having subsequent team success - more often than not.
A team that is expected to be 7th-8th in the standings but underperforms and finishes 10th has their coach fired but a team that should be 1st place but underperforms and is 4th never seems to get fired. I don’t care where we are in the standings, we are under performing. He can’t figure out the lines to save his life. The talent on this team is historic.

I love the idea of having sequential and progressively taller towers populated by various levels of slumbering management

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
It's actually not a bad idea. Matthews and Marner have both gotten their mojo back and Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander was our best line before they were broken up.
I'm fine with giving that a look for a couple of games to kickstart the team after a bit of adversity.

The difference being that team finishing 10th after expecting to be 7th or 8th will definitely be missing the playoffs. While the team might not be sitting too comfortably in 2nd at the moment, it's important to note that the teams trying to catch us are also grappling with a disadvantage in GP. Don't necessarily take all of the aforementioned as an endorsement of Keefe though since I'm still not overly sold on him.
But he does switch up the lines when they work! Just like Babcock.
Not sure what needs to happen but try to implicate Mike Tomlin with him.
Maybe the common denominator is Dubas being in Pittsburgh…….? Dubas could use them both. His history with Keefe and the fact that Tomlin wants to win every game 3-0. Could translate better to the Penguins.

I’m not a Keefe fan but how is the team supposed to be on their game when Samsonov is letting in unscreened shots from the blue line. I thought we were really starting to play better in the second and then a weak wrist shot, from almost the blue line beats Samsonov’s glove. I’d assume most of us on here have played the game and know how deflating it is when the goalie lets in those. It wouldn’t have mattered how good of defence we played last night when you don’t get saves, you lose generally.
Keefe doesn’t have many options in net unfortunately and that’s not in him. I get nervous every time a shot goes towards Samsonov and I’m just a fan. When you play scared because of the goalies, you can’t play your game. I really don’t know how a new coach can magically get Samsonov’ stopping pucks so I can’t see a it helping us

No coach is going to bury a guy in the media unless you wanna lose the room. Keefe knows he’s got pressure. Internally I think he probably was more candid. We saw in the Amazon documentary Keefe isn’t afraid to say it how it is.

Neither, Dubas and Keefe both inherited this stupidity of wealth and both have failed to capture glory with it.
Shanahans plan to suck ass and draft worked, but after that we should’ve fired him and found a whole team of people who have a history of building a winner. It’s easy to lose and draft high.
Id say the plan worked a little bit. But again in 2015 he trusted Dubas and Hunter & they made pivotal mistakes. Hunter screwed up that 2nd round for us in 2015. He also screwed up that 2nd round for us in 2016.
I am not in favour or opposed to Keefe.
I do wonder why the same people argue that it is impossible to win with 50% of the cap gping to 4 forwards, then blame Keefe for not doing it.
