Dubas has his head coach now. Nearly 100% his team (we'll see what happens with the assistants). LET THE BOYS PLAY.

Dubas should be the guy out the door but whatever. The Leafs will start trying for a bit and win some games but this team has overpaid anyone with a name and has zero depth.

Would be funny to see Babcock go to the Wings with Yzerman and turn them around as the Leafs self implode.

Has he visited yet? He’s probably not back from running down the street naked.

He’s been shouting “Babcock is fired, my cock in on fire! Babcock has been fired, my cock in on fire!”

Perhaps you can point to where I am wrong in my statement.

Thanks

Why don't we wait for the results at the NHL level before we judge him as a good or bad NHL coach?

I said Keefe is a good coach.

Your response seemed like it was with intent to tell me why my statement was wrong.

Was it? Certainly seems like it.

Are you really hanging your hat on the fact that he won championships as the owner/coach of the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Canadian Hockey League, a league that you, me and everyone else here has never actually franking heard of?

Wow has this rebuild gone off the rails.

you forgot to mention the abusing part

BREAKING NEWS:

Brendan Shanahan has fired Max from being a Leafs fans. Says: "It was a long time coming."

I still hope the Leafs tank this year and go for it with a revamp D next year.

Because it's so franking typical of this current management.

Dubas loves Keefe because he coached for the Greyhounds. Like, don't bother to look around for any other coach - get a guy who you know from the OHL!!!!

You could basically have any franking coach you want - but don't think outside of the box. Just get the guy who never won you an OHL Cup - because you know him!!!!

Leafs should hire Mike Commodore.
Another ass-wipe that fits right in with Dubas and Keefe.

Most leafs fans are happy I suppose

I wasn't a fan of his style.

But you know dubas didnt have the convo with babs. Thats my guess.

Hey Mike Babcock....The entire Maple Leaf organization has had it with you....The Players & the entire Front office are sick and tired of your arrogance...#PackYourpoop and beat it you piece of poop.

He is viewed upon as a very good coach by hockey people.

People like you seem to not care about that and prefer a guy with 20 years of experience...plenty of evidence shows thats not always relevant.

So yeah. I am going to show you as a head coach he has had constant success in the last 15 years.

you're not getting it Wedgie.
The underlying numbers on Keefe say he's a great coach in the NHL - even though he never actually has coached one game in NHL!

One expensive firing

they can afford it with their second round playoff revenue

Can't say the Maple Leafs aren't entertaining though, it's like american politics levels of cringe and intrigue

Because what could possibly go wrong when you have a team that is refusing to play with any discipline or heart, and you fire the disciplinarian coach and give them another Nintendo-boi and tell them to just go out there and have fun?!?!?!

This is sooooooo going to work!!!!

Who the frank wants to backcheck - that's no fun!!! Let's just try to score as many goals as we can in the third period when we are down by four goals!

Hooooooooray!

- Steven_Seagull

Well not as expected
Firing the coach is never a good sign.
Its an organizational failure.
