I hope no one thinks this firing will fix the Leafs' problems. This team does not have the size, depth or goaltending (too early to tell about Woll) to come close to a Cup.
Firing Keefe is like fighting cancer with a shot of booze/smoking a joint. You might feel better for a while. But the cancer will still be there. ☮
This is yet another cover for Shanahan. Keefe was hired by Dubas and Dubas by Shanahan. Shanahan has been there for ten years and has achieved nothing with two top 10% players and the best goal scorer of the generation. Keefe looked like a gentleman and Shanahan is ducking responsibility. Shame on Shanahan.
A coach can’t fix broken. One can coach until they are blue in the face, but if the team isn’t built for success in the playoffs, then all is lost.
Look at the last 50 Stanley Cup champions, then ask yourself this: is Toronto built like any of the 50 previous championship teams? The answer is: no. Plain and simple. Overpaying for four finesse forwards, while ignoring defence and goaltending was not the template for success, and never will be as history dictates.
Sheldon Keefe has the best winning percentage of any coach. since the Toronto Maple Leafs came into existence in 1927. It is a safe bet that within an hour of being terminated, he already had job offers in his back pocket. He is only 43 years old, and is guaranteed a salary while he decides his next move. He looked both relieved and confident in his farewell video. Oh and BTW, The GOAT–Scotty Bowman, lost in the Play-offs 18 times.
Babcock couldn't do it. fired. Keefe too. fired. Wake up call, its the team . especially the fluff four! who are paid way too much for the return on investment

SHAN A PLAN!
McCown's debilitating and near-fatal illness should have awakened him to the folly of taking kid's games too seriously.

Bob…your a beast man!!!
Sure, fire a top notch Coach and leave the crappy low life players. Pathetic!
Next coach needs the green light to kick some ass. Babs would be excellent if they gave him free reign. He's a winner!
