What can we do to get Keefe fired.

Why does Keefe have the third highest winning percentage in history?

Was he handed a great team or is he a good coach? One shows support of Dubas and Shanny and the other supports Keefe. Which side is everyone on?
Take this potentially with some grains of salt due to Keefe not having coached in the era of tie games. Number of games coached by each respective coach on the list should also merit some consideration. As for your question, I'd say that both sides (Keefe and Shanahan/Dubas) deserve credit (for making the playoffs, finally winning that elusive round) and blame (for the team not advancing further more often than they have thus far).
 
We got rid of a coach years ago by fan outrage, including picketing outside the arena.

Keefe has to go. He has proven time and time again he can't handle this team.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I can't do it because I am in NS.

It would only take 3 or 4 guys with signs saying "fire Keefe".

And if Tre won't do it, then maybe he has to go. The team is not good enough, its not coached well enough. Someone needs to be heard.
Just checked.
ALL TIME winning percentage by a coach. Minimum 250 games coached.

its the case with every coach in NHL... when your #1 goalie suck like Samsonov did this season, youre better hope to have a great #2 to get the job done or youre in trouble...

name me a good coach, i will name you a good goaltender...
100%. You want to know who the bad coaches are look at what teams have goalies at the bottom of GSAx.
 
Not satisfied with the AHL calibre defence Reilly Exception.
not satisfied with our goalie play when Sammy is in.

16-8-6 is better than I would expect this roster to be.
I do not blame Keefe even a little.
Fair enough. He actually has done a fine job this season with that decimated D and G.

Personally I just have never liked the dudes mannerisms and want a coach that has actually won something.

I remember Bruce Boudreau once carrying that proud mantle too.

Keefe has always been Boudreau 2.0 to me.


Playoffs:

Boudreau - 43 and 47 for a .478 winning %

Keefe - 13 and 17 for a .433 winning %

The only problem i have with keefe is giving sammy so many chances
His other options have been to play a goalie who has already surpassed his career high in GP and another who hasn't held down a starter's role with a starter's numbers for about a handful of years now.
 
you have 2 choice as a coach with situation like this

1- try to help you goalie as much as you can by giving chance to your goalie to get the head out of water

2- let him drown aloneh

He has given him enough chances im not crapping on sammy i feel for the guy he just lost it happens to people mental stuff sucks
 
I agree, the better we play our system and stay on it is where we need to be to become a legit contender. That said though if the goalie can’t make the easy saves in the system being played then it doesn’t matter how good the system is played.
In order to stick with a system, you first have to HAVE one. Keefe never really has.

Cassidy had a losing record until last year.
Maurice has a losing record.
Torts has a losing record.
Berube has a losing record.
Tocchet has a losing record.

The only two active coaches above .550 are Cooper and Bednar...

They’ll need a coach other than Keefe to take them to the promised land.

The problem with that is you could pluck a 10 year old child out of the stands and likely get a better record. He has a team full of star hockey players. He is pure garbage.
