Poop just got real with Rachel Doerrie and the Canucks, yo.

I must confess that other than the story about her being fired, I have no idea who she is.
- Atomic Wedgie

never heard of her
Google time I guess.


... ok, lots to unpack there. I guess the problem I have with what sounds like some pretty serious mental illness is that it makes me question her perspective on what happened. I am not sure anyone is ever going to get the whole actual story. I feel bad for her of course.

Apologies if I have offended anyone with that take.

What is the likelihood of a big trade in the NHL before xmas? Any guesses?
- Aaron_85

25% yes
75% no

my guess.

I think it's Rangers and Chicago for Kane

Sheldon Keefe now has the 2nd best Point % in NHL HISTORY among coaches with 100+ games coached...

this is reg season or the playoffs??

It’s Keefe but it’s an easy job considering how good a job Dubas has done in putting a team together. No, wait

If they would fire management and get rid of their best players they would never lose.

It's actually Trotz coaching but wearing a Keefe skin suit.

he's a skinwalker or he is using his mind power to control Keefe.

We don't talk about playoffs.

It is worth wondering how come a team like the Leafs can be so successful in the regular season and an utter failure in the playoffs.

Sadly, the NHL will never address why they change the game so much in the playoffs. It is ridiculous to think that the only difference is that players are trying harder.

- Canada Cup

Thank, I was wondering. No too surprising considering they are always losing in 7 games so it isn't like the playoff numbers are going to make a huge difference overall.

None of us know what’s going on but I’ve seen various media types say if this kind of media contact is now a firing offence, half the front offices in the NHL better get their resumes in order. There may be issues but that sounds a little off.
- Canada Cup

That I'd agree with - but when you go to HR to file a complaint against the AGM, who is your boss, on what could theoretically be considered thin ice to begin with, there may be problems beyond the personal that aren't going to be rectified.

I've seen this happen with people I know - not THIS - but cases where both the manager and the employee go to HR about one another. It may not be right or fair, but I've never seen a case where there isn't a clear violation of the code of conduct by one party where HR took the side of the person lower in the organization - and I think I've seen one case where the two managed to hash it out and work together - although at arm's distance - but in most cases where termination didn't occur, the worker had to move in the organization to a different group. I've seen this in IT, Telecommunications, Accounting, Government . . . it's the same all over.

Maybe complaints like this by Rachel Doerrie can change some of that, but I sincerely doubt it. In fact in small circle organizations - like a sports team - I would imagine even less flexibility to allow for personal conflicts.

That all said, I go back to my original comment which was that this is my initial take on it - I don't know enough, and I'm not really set on any opinion about it right now.

What's past is prologue. Keefe’s playoff winning percentage is about to increase, large.

Now do his playoff record.

I don't know, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless.

I think the listing was for regular season but when I looked at his numbers it didn’t seem like an 8-11 record was going to have a big statistical impact on his four seasons regular season winning %. I didn’t do the math mostly because I’m too lazy to search around for whoever was third with over 100 games (the site didn’t isolate)

QFT.

Maybe kane.
Nothing really for the leafs imo.

Florida has to trade a player that makes over 3M by Christmas and it can't be Hornqvist

You know MOST of the current coaches also have a similarly poor first-three year record for playoff success.

Sullivan and Cooper had faster success than most (Sullivan winning in his third year, and Cooper making it to the finals in his third year), but some of the others:

Laviolette: .333
Torts: 0 (didn't make the playoffs until his 4th year - but he did win the cup in his 5th)
De Boer: 0 (didn't make the playoffs until the 4th year, and made them only once in his first 7 coaching)
Boudreau: .464
Sutter: .423
Cassidy: .333

I mean Bowness made the playoffs once in his first 9 years of coaching Ottawa, Boston and Winnipeg.

There's a lot of names of guys that a lot of people here would love to have as the Leafs head coach.

Barry Trotz didn't make the playoffs for his first 5 seasons, and didn't win a round until his 12th year coaching.

Paul Maurice didn't make the playoffs for his first 3 seasons and didn't win a round until his 7th year coaching.

It's easy to get mad at the coach, but all these guys who are supposedly so much better all started somewhere - and they didn't start as well.

I would assume reg season, Roger wouldn't post the playoffs percentage because it wouldnt be as good.

damn, I didn't see it was Rogers account

guy is f'n awesome!

Random stuff

AM will need to score 50 goals in 59 games to match his 60 from last season (probably unlikely)

Kallgren has seemed to play fine in the games Iv watched, but he is still only.898 sv%
would have thought it would be higher. but a 3rd stringer...so shrug

So far (yes still lots of time for bad stuff to happen), Murray/Samsonov has been a Dubas home run. at least the goalie experts that jumped all over him are silent...waiting in the bushes..spaget style.

With Muzzin, Brodie and Rielly out, it doesnt look like the Leafs are missing a beat. Credit to Dubas for some depth. and not panicking...shutting the haters up..but also...see above...spagett

If Pontus can rock the 4th line C position, go all in on a top 6 forward to either make AM's line better or JTs.

I like regularly making the playoffs
I like that Matthews’ shooting % has nowhere to go but up
I like that Matthews lead the forwards in blocked shots and is third on the team in hits
I like that we have two good goalies
I like that the team is playing a strong defensive game
I like that the weak links on D are playing well and that there’s good depth
I like that the team has has an excellent defensive record and Brodie is due back
I like that there’s potentially a good chunk of cap space to spend later in the year

I think you've spent far too much time rebutting my flippant reply. (although maybe this was for the "but the playoffs!" commentariat in general)

For the record, I'm not a Keefe hater - I'm actually mostly ambivalent. I think I've criticized him in the past for galaxy braining some decisions and, perhaps, being oddly pro-line blender in the regular season and too rigid in the post-season. But I'm not married to that observation either.

It's easy to hindsight/reductively criticize a coach for early playoff exits. What do I know? 🤷

Maybe the Leafs play good D like the stats have been saying for the most part the last few years.

Last year the goaltending absolutely sucked.
