Please, please Toronto, fire Sheldon Keefe. Let him go to a team where there's proven goaltending and at least three decent defencemen. Then Shanny can go hire someone like Dean Evason.
Even if they had Roy in his prime, this team would still be flawed and it is showing. Too top heavy, and those top players do not know how to really win as a team.
the toronto maple leafs, a team run by popular belief from arm chair athletes, Carl Brewer might be available for head coach, what a joke, try Rocky Saganuik and tell him to bring a pyramid for the players bench
You better get used to third string and older goalies looking to just play. Toronto doesn't have 5 million to throw at a better goalie. Even with folks falling off the cap the cap raising every year won't compensate eventually. Coaches don't matter in Toronto thats a fact! Four Players run that team.
The problem is the core 4. Matthews once again got outplayed by a top 5 front line player. He got out played by McKinnon on Saturday and McJesus last night.
How anyone can defend Sheldon Keefe..I have been embarrassed watching him in postseason for multiple seasons. You go to Game 7 vs a team you should already have put out..the game goes along and in waning minutes no timeout called..no speaking with players . Mindless!
Can you imagine Jared Bednar Jon Cooper Gerard Gallant Craig Berube..the list of coaches is long..failing to take this Leafs team beyond the First Round..
I don’t understand paying millions for four players and keeping the same mild mannered coach ..who has a paper thin NHL head coaching resume.
Problem is this goes much higher than Keefe. He called guys out publicly last year. The very next day he was out in front of the media walking it all back. Someone told him he couldn't do that. It wasn't Dubas. Dubas wanted to trade one of the core four. When he couldn't he left.
wait you can't blame keefe for the tan playing badly because they are playing in front of jones!!?? do you realise how illogical that is? how backwards?! they should play full team defence in front of jones not this half cocked shht.
Shanahan has to go. Kyle Dubas talked Shanny into the idea that the league is going to be about pure skill and toughness doesn't count anymore. Look at their draft picks in the last 7 years. All smallish high skill players. The Shanaplan has to go.
However you slice it, however you break it down – Shanahan is responsible for this mess. Ironic as he was the benchmark for how a power forward should play this game. Instead Leafs end up with a pond hockey team. Not even sure that is fair to the pond hockey players!
What's wrong with Bob? The Oiler game was great. IF TO scores on one of there chances when leading it could have been a different outcome. With that said who is beating the Oilers right now? NO ONE that's who. Look Leaf media is over reacting because of the current losing steak. Still have half a season to go and a lot can happen. I'm a Canuck fan and I'm not worried about the Leafs, they will be in the hunt come April. Everyone (media) needs to chill when it comes to the Leafs right now. They are a good team and have a lot of experience. I say go to all Canadian teams! Hockey rules.
This guy doesn’t have a clue! Jones is a 3rd string goalie according to who? He plays like a starter! Also you don’t think keefe deserves any blame? Who are you? You have no idea with what is going on with the leafs! Yes it is partially the coaches fault and partially shanahans fault and the rest can be laid out on defence and a few forwards but mostly keefe!
The question is, will they lose to the Shames? As a fan of the Flames, have fun with Treliving folks, remember Ferguson. He completely destroyed Calgary on his way out the door. The huberdeau signing is all the proof you need.
Prices through the ROOF ? Really I have watched hockey since i was knee high to a grasshopper ! Never Been to a game in Toronto ! I grew up in Guelph , now in Hamilton ! Just Cannot Afford the cost it takes to go to a game ! Crazy ! Go Isles Go !

Each Maple Leaf line selected plays a sightly different game and they don’t.
How many coaches and goaltenders do the Leafs have to go through before realizing that the only cure is a balanced team that has, true, depth.
Dream on leaf fans, dream on.

Fire keefe and Brendan shanahan
Good to see Bob back. Love you Mr. McCown, best ever in this town.
Need 3 defencemen as well. TRADE MARNER for God's sake for some of those needs. Talk Tavares into retiring NOW. Now you can create a team.
Yes
It on Brendan shanahan
No
"dream on" Bob. spot on sir. tell it like it is. this tan is full of over paid pusssssies and it's going nowhere fast.
Love Bob and Shannon, but the other dude is tough to listen to regarding hockey.
toronto and edmonton would be the dodgers u guys always leave that out edmonton is also a billion dollar franchise
Rod Brind'Amour is unsiged beyond this year…far better choice than Quenneville with considerably less baggage.
Shanahan has to go. Kyle Dubas talked Shanny into the idea that the league is going to be about pure skill and toughness doesn't count anymore. Look at their draft picks in the last 7 years. All smallish high skill players. The Shanaplan has to go.

The team only plays 1 period of hockey
It's too early to fire the coach? they shoulda done it after they blew the Montreal series.

Don't whine about the cap, it is the great equalizer and savior of small market teams, ie Canada.

Good to see you back, Bobcat! Best of luck in your continued recovery.
