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!

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!

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.

- MacPatty


Leafs three best and most expensive players have not been good enough. I don’t think you can hang that on Dubas. Maybe Keefe is better suited to developing young players while getting on ice results. It’s pretty clear by now that Babs isn’t that guy.

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

There has been absolutely NO entertainment value on the ice. This off ice shiit is just more of the same leafy garbage.

It's pretty incredible how salty he still is that Babcock wouldn't play him 'cause he couldn't hockey anymore.

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.

- Santo_44

It's franking bizarre that in this day and age, experience is viewed as a negative.

Make Leafs Great Again hat, anyone?

Kinda ya.
Firing the coach is never a good sign.
Its an organizational failure.

- Fakepartofme


Well.

You can either hold onto that failure in hopes it changes or drop it and try something new.

It takes balls.

Ujuri fired Casey and hired a rookie coach and look what happened? Not saying that the Leafs are now destined for a cup now.....just that it takes balls to do it and thats a good thing.

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!!!!

- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah. You're right. Fire Keefe. He sucks. No hope for him.

Is there any information on Keefe's contract?

Is it just the remainder of the year, an interim thing, or something longer?

Speaking of things that are soooo leafy to do, I'm pretty sure slam bashing someone that hasn't had a single game with the team is right at the top of that list...
