- Sheldon Keefe has been relieved of his head coaching duties by the Toronto Maple Leafs after another early playoff exit. What's next for the Leafs? TSN Hockey insider Darren Dreger joins 7-Eleven That's Hockey host Gino Reda to discuss.

This is a start but real change won’t happen until Shanahan is out the door!
Shanahan is nothing more that a bridge between the GM and the board. I don't think any team in the history of any sport will be successful when a board has the final word, they are more concerned with money making and selling tickets. Unfortunately in sports what you need is a King, that is serious about winning.
Shanny isn’t going anywhere. We’re back to the pension days.
Especially in a hard cap league. @@hockeyplayersnetwork3307
He should be next!
@@MaidensWorldOfWax He won’t be. He’s very specifically scheduled to be at the presser tomorrow with the CEO. The Leafs are about to run it back with a new coach. Buckle up.
If they don't fire Shanahan.. It puts their stated intention of winning a cup into disrepute. He had his decade and failed miserably.
Once more for those in the back
The core is the fault of Shanahan. He refuses to change it. Exactly when does the accountability happen for him?
"He" failed?
@@Sevenn03 who put the core together? Who refused to trade them after years of failure?
@@alkaline1100…started with him hiring Dumass, who’s first move was to overpay Tavares. He’s done the exact same thing in Pitt with Karlsson.
Keefe probably flew into Pittsburg yesterday
Nope, Dubas will be out of there before you know it, truths out now.
@@BobsUruncle-dl7cs what are you babbling about. do you have any grip on reality
our mess is at the feet of hexstall he ruined the team in short order
@@hellobnice Shows how much you really know, plus it shows you trusted that Shanny did his due dilligence+....and as we all know Shanny helped hold the barbed wire up so Dubas could sneak into the NHL through the back door.
@chrisgooglemaps I did. Thanks pal
@@BobsUruncle-dl7cs terrible take.
Justin Bieber is Matthews' and Marner's pick for new coach.
😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They play like pussies. Just like Bieber pussy music 😊
Bieber my balls.
😂@swavekbu...That's rich! For shi-- and giggles they can go out together and egg houses and flash Security Guards....just like old times!
If you want Marner to waive his no trade clause bring in Babcock.
But all the gen z got upset cause he pushed them
I absolutely agree. Leafs management chose Mitch over Babcock when the latter embarrassed Mitch. I know Babcock was a POS but Keefe the Saint did not get these guys motivated enough.
4D chess move...
Bring in Torts!!
He'll break those spoiled, entitled little toddlers pretending to be players, AND, he'll destroy the idiotic Toronto media for some extra popcorn enjoyment! ;-)
Marner doesnt want to stay in Toronto anymore. He will be a Blackhawk next year.
@@drunkenastarte5243 Torts would do it......ditch mitch and get some defence as well
New coach coming in, make sure you don't hurt the players feelings you have to apologize after
Wish they didn’t fire him.
@@red3here i hate to see someone lose his job ,the players are to blame
Yep. the Leafs fired Mike Babcock when he embarrassed Mitch. As another poster said, bring in Babcock to convince Mitch to waive his NMC and get out of town.
@@aaamm4010 and its up to the coach to hold the players accountable. Keefe didn't do that
😂😂😂😂
It’s about time. They should have fired him last year. Firing Keefe is a move in the right direction.
Should have been fired after the collapse against Montreal
Shouldve fired him after that shitshow vs Montreal
His two year contract extension won’t kick in until this Fall.
4 players make up 70% of the leafs salary cap. This is the problem, not the coaching. They have terrible bottom 6 lines every year - fire the GM too.
The ironic part is that his regular season record (212-97-40), is very likely one of the best all time records of any coach in NHL history with roughly the same number of games coached.
And, one of the absolute worst playoff records ... ever.
Means nothing in betmams mkdern American revenue nhl. REFULAR season now just European pondhockey crap. It's moot. True hockey and all left of our greayesy game on planet...is playoff hockey. True hockey.
Emotional decision to fire Keefe? How is it emotional? It was a rational and logical decision. He was not the coach to lead this team to a championship
Right I'm sure treliving would hard disagree with dreger on that
They don’t need a coach, they need a drill Sargent. The players are like children playing a man’s game.
Too soft,no pushback,grit,desire,mental toughness,motivation,heart,tenacity,
Will,discipline,commitment,determination…
This is a sad professional sports team and needing a “disciplinarian” coach is a pathetic need.
Agree, even though the team was toughened up, they just aren’t built for the play offs. Players seemed to avoid finishing checks ?
100% agree
Even if Treliving hires toughnut Craig Berube, Berube wouldn’t be able to install truculence into Tavares, Nylander, Matthews, and Marner. As a married woman chided me once with, “you’re a lover not a fighter”.
Agree with you, soft ,soft team Mathews great scorer but soft as shit, Nylander when he isn't sooking
@@user-pr2qw5ep3oMatthews is not soft. What are ya going on about???
General managers don't like to fire coaches?, Puhlease. Its the first thing every struggling team does.
And often the coach takes the fall for the GM’s bad personnel decisions
When a coach comes out and says others teams play so the Leafs beat themselves, that's a damn self report that the players don't respect the system and that the system in place doesn't work. Front office needs a total overhaul.
Make all the changes you want, as soon as the core 4 step foot in the dressing room for training camp, they will be the same team they always have been
Why not bring in Bob Hartley? A Stanley Cup-winning coach who was #2 for the Rangers job back in 2021
It also wouldn't surprise me if Keefe & Marner end up in Pittsburgh at some point bc Kyle Dufas 🤓 loves to hire his friends...
Leafs are dumb af, those fickle fans would be in heaven karlsson for Marner another forward on D haha😂
Shanahan has to go
@Sikhislove I agree but Pelley is a puppet who Shanascam can fool to save his slithering 🐍 skin...
@@Sikhislovebring in Tortorella.
And bring a cup there like Phil Kessel.
its a start. keep going
It's sad, but the coach's head is always the 1st to roll.
Marner is a big part of the problem, and I'd hate to have to coach this prima donna.
Keefe will thrive somewhere else, just like most players and management staff do when they leave the Leaf QUAGMIRE.
Things were incrementally improving, but one second round series in 5 years ? I think if they had gone into a second round this year, it might have saved him.
@@foxlake6750 imagine your only goal being the second round
Tell me you know nothing about hockey without telling me you know nothing about hockey for 1000 alex 😂
This f'n coach sucked c'k and you're blaming Marner 😂 he was getting out f'n coached. If marner was in Florida or Boston he would be a f'n star. 😂 what the f'k are you talking about?
Marner is 3rd all time in playoff assists for the Leafs with far fewer games than those around him sans Gilmore.
Matthews is the only player with more points in the playoffs.
@-Subtle-
Marners attitude sucks despite all of his points.
He did squat in this round, and he needs to go.
Best of luck with your next team. They won't be so accepting of your narcissistic ways, Im sure.
If anyone questions the timing of this, it's just another example of the players not being held accountable. By firing him after player interviews, they didn't have to answer for their role in his dismissal.
They didn't have player exit interviews with the coach this year. That was one of the telling signs that Keefe would be the sacrificial lamb.
Not one of the coaches listed has me confident that we are getting an upgrade on Keefe
when the leafs hired keefe , it was a move backwards
I think that they should go and get joe quinnville he knows the ins and outs, look at the job he did with Chicago and Florida 😊
Joel Q should be their first and only choice. Decades ago he was supposed to be Toronto's coach of the future. Didn't happen, but better late than never.
A new coach is a good start but Shanaplan should have been the first to go. It's been 10 years now and the results speak for themselves.
Brendan Shanahan, your pink slip is ready . . .
Bring On Craig Berube!!
New coach gets to coach Gods!
Good luck!
"Gods"...indeed...
@@projektkobra2247 All hail the Mitch.
Like I said in my other post, to have success this new coach must be like the devil 👿
Bow to the gods 🤦
God like super losers .👸🤡..😂
Keefe lol did his acceptance speech from the beach, how cool and appropriate
nylander can still be moved his no trade dont kick in until july1 , he has a 10 team list on this current contract
Considering he missed 3 consecutive playoff games, he played well this year.
@@StephenShawCanada sure he did , hewas in all the games in the regular season and did nothing 3-8 in 11 games , nylander has been on the ice for more game winning goals against and series ending games than any 2 other players on the leafs matthews is next
Nine years with MLSE was an accomplishment
Doesn't matter who you bring it to sit on the bench, the problem is still the same......it's the product on the ice, no cap room, no consistent goaltending, etc......
BigMay39 is spot on. Toronto's problems go well beyond management, coaching, and the core 4 (yes, including Marner). First of all, the chemistry of the bottom 6 forwards never seems quite right, certainly not good enough for a cup run. Then, despite what seems to be endless wheeling and dealing, the blue line continues to appear subpar, again not good enough for a cup run. Lastly, ditto the goaltending. Samsonov is too inconsistent, and Woll is to injury prone. Unless and until Toronto makes some serious improvements in these areas, the Leafs will remain a very good tier 2 team in the Eastern Conference.
There's no way Gerard Gallant is going to sign in Toronto. He's a laid back guy who doesn't like giving out any info in pressers. He'd be gone in half a season.
Don Cherry would be the best bet for a new coach for the leafs!!!! Just imagine 😅😂
Shanahan and Marner
Blame Shanahan also his record is disastrous
TSN handles these situations so much better than Sportsnet.
Tsn handles every situation better than sportsnet no shit aha
I would pay money to be able to watch all the leafs games on TSN with Gord miller and the panel at intermissions. 100 times better than woke ass sportsnet
@@zach1415 I agree
It's call the Toronto Sports Network for a reason
@@donovan1971literally not what it stands for lmao
Sheldon Keefe is the scapegoat for all of Brendon Shanahan"s player personal mistakes and overpaying players like Marner and Tavaras .And I don"t think Brendon Shanahan will be fired because he and Keith Pelley And Brad Treliving are doing a press conference together on Friday .And Nick Kypreos said from all his connections and this press conference with Brendon apart of it he will not be fired . Convenient to fire Keefe the day before the B.S. press conference
The man had 5 years as coach. C'mon.....
This is on everyone in the organization period, what i dont get is people saying well hes an amazing regular season coach, well he is but he s a bad playoffs coach. You can give him all the credit for regular season then say playoffs its all on the players. Its on them all regular season and playoffs.
Good move but how about addressing the real issues. 2 coaches, multiple gms, multiple goalies, different defensive corps different bottom forwards yet same result sooo when will the core be held accountable?
Blame the players first, but fire the coach is always the case
Let's pretend for a moment ... pretend that Keefe had the answers, told his players what they needed to do in the playoffs but they refused to follow his plans. Is he the right coach? Don't think so. The reality is Keefe is a poor playoff coach. How many timeouts did he call during the Bruins series? Why did he throw out the 4th line when he didn't need to. How did he manage to let the poor PP and PK continue?
blame the fans first. Leafs have been hiring and firing management, coaches and players for over 50 years with the same results. Fans put up with it and keep buying tickets and other Leafs garbage.
Keefe was out coached every single post season even the Tampa series they won.
Except this is the only coaching change this season that is long over due. Sheldon Keefe is a bum who has no accountability.
@@pacman3556 Finally a great comment. Boycott some home games until it really hurts the bottom line. Disgusting amount of money paid to heartless players. BOYCOTT first five games.
Dangles gonna destroy this videos view count when his video on this comes out
The most annoying man in show business
This team needs a Patches O' Houlihan 🔧
Shanny next please, no point bringing in another coach if they're still under the shannaplan.
Lateral move. The man was 1 goal away from a literal historic achievement. Fire the fans they're the real problem.
How did we get here? OH MAN! no one is that blind! hahaha
Shouldn’t have been fired oh well gotta start somewhere.
The Leafs were anticipating the Cap going up every single season; that didn't happen. This is why the Core 4 have such a high percentage on the team. If the Cap had gone up ...
@@red3here Should have been fired last year, the year before that too. Bad, bad playoff coach with no answers ... ever.
Treliving didn't replace Samsonov with an NHL goaltender.
Samsonov had not shown his personal lack of confidence until mid-way through this season. I'm surprised Treliving was very patient with him after this happened.
Ironically it’s the offense that goes misssing in the playoffs. Despite their poorly assembled d group, there are other problems
Reminder that Lou traded away Carter Verhaegue.
Shanahan hired Babcock. And despite all the anger at the core 4, the draft, in 10 years, has produced, Reilly, Lily, Kneis, and Woll.
Which team passed on resigning a player with 1.5 GPG in the post season.
2 or 3 years too late... but he got a two extension, so keefe probably don't care, he knew when he failed again he'd have that extra year, it was the last year of his deal.. now that extra year counts against the cap
Brendan Shanahan must go.
100$ says he goes to Pittsburgh
he could never get a job on any other team.....
where is charlie montoyo coaching now????? AAA?
where he belongs????
No.
ask Morgan reilly to move waive his nmc get a full that can actually play defense and hit, and pick up a cheaper option that can run pp1 and actually be a threat to score from the point, morgan has a muffin
The GM needs to be fired too. You need to find the right coach that pushes these players. Also the line up needs a change. Go Canucks!
They need to change the culture of the team. i have yet to see them show up for every game they play. I'm always wondering what leaf team will show. The one who can run with anyone, or the one who looks disinterested in the proceedings. We need maximum effort everytime. We do not get that. It's pretty obvious. Blatantly obvious.
Part of that was Keefe's failure to motivate his team. What the true good teams, they skate to the puck, the Leafs typically coast to the puck. The Bruins' O.T. goal was just another example during game 7.
That has to come from the players. The coach can have some influence, but the culture is built by those on the ice.
If they want to win, they better back a brinks truck up to Dale Hunter's house
Wasn't it Dale who supported the idea of drafting Marner over Hannifin (a fast skating d man) over Babcock's objections?
Fire shanahan!!!
Yup, he was never a Leaf. He was a Leafs killer his entire playing career.
Top down clean house.
starting with the fans
Todd Maclean seems like the perfect fit. He has tons of experience with #1 C. Feel like the team lives and dies with meatyhwes so might as well give him all the help nesccary... bertuzi was alright didn't really get the job done but domi it think should be looked at as a long term option as a middle 6 C.
Marner needs to go for he didn't step up. Someone had to go now and JT will prob just get a pay cut next off-season... some trades I like are as follow...
Keller Crouse 1st 3rd Ingram
Zegras Fowler Vatrano 1st 3rd
TMac is horrible in line matchups and a horrible playoff record. His teams play soft.
@dmonsef he didn't do a great job in EDM but that team is flawed from top to bottom. At least the rangers always had a true #1 Goalie, always amazing defensively and always had those depth role guys (this year took some time for NYR but it's just a general analysis for over the years). I'm comparing EDM(During MacCleanan time) to the rangers because the rangers did susccefuly go through the rebuild. If management and ownership think relying on 3-5 guys to win you a cup (Just like tor) their only fooling themselves.
His first s
Coaching job was in SJ. Could of done better but this was tough back in the day. LA was dynasty. VAN was president trophy winners/ top 5 team in league. ANA was good then... and don't forget that Phx was not easy to play against as well... not gonna sugar coat it but he did 7/10 their....
So I know I'm.out of order here but the LA team he took over was trash hence why they gad huge management changes... Still signs of it their when trading for diva queen PLD but that's a different story.
All in all I feel like.he has done an average or above average job... not Luke berube or gallant... but it does have to do with personality. Remember he was under Babcock and won the cup in Det with him.
Can u say Babcock did better then Keefe? To me its kinda a wash their.
Berube and gallant are ruthless and 0 tolerance kinda guys. Willy and matthwes needa that coming soft voice so they can go our their and play their game...kinda like Keefe but some things I like from Todd is his attention to detail and I feel like he can get the most out of his star players (not the depth kinda guy that berube and gallant get).
Can't have babs, gallant, or tortz giving your top players a hard time. Tor needs calming veteran presence. Didn't work put with babs so might as well find someone similar(hockey style systems way) so I say Todd is a perfect fit here...
Can't see gallant or berube their...
Some ex players off the radar kinda guys i would have to say tie domi, Gilmor (ideal), and Bryan McCabe.
Shouldn't an ex leaf 0layer get rhe chance?
why is Sid talking about the contract extension???
The players demanded, rather than earned no move clauses in their contracts.
If only Marner could backcheck pasta
Ummm, do you guys still really think anybody would actually trade for any of those team/cap breaking contracts for players who refuse to play when games get real and hard? How many games did "chase for 70" miss bcoz he got sick of losing all the time when it mattered?
And it’s NOT AN INJURY!!!!
Leafs should try a No Head Coach concept….
They did ... this past playoff series with Boston. Not a single time out was called. No solution to the poor PK and PPs. No solution to the scoring problems. And, you think the Leafs had a HC?? Oh, you have a wicked sense of humour.
@@StephenShawCanada Leafs have generations of unbelievable material to pull from…
If Tavares and Marner choose not to be moved it should be made clear to them they won’t be playing either. Sitting for a year without playing won’t help their FA negotiations
So when they fail again next year with the same core guys, they fire Shanahan and won't touch any of the players.
Hopefully Brendan and Brad are right behind him
TSN.
"We....we....we.....we"
Toronto Sports Network.
Im glad they waited until the Blues had a coach to fire him, but not doing it fast enough so he could interview for those other jobs is really shitty of Shanahan. Not shocking from a guy that slept with a teammates wife.
????
@mikegike...Shanahan slept with Craig Janney's wife while with St. Louis Blues...
ask darren dreger if paul marner is going to extend his contract next year.
Agree with @pajamatime5750 Shanahan's finger prints are all over this team . Yes Dubas signed these guys but Shanny also signed off on those deals . As I've heard recently the Toronto media is too soft ( on Leafs & Blue Jays ) and the above commentary is proof positive of this . Dreger says it's going to get warm ? !! It should already be scorching hot and unbearable for all involved . If Keefe is the only one that falls then sadly we'll be having the same conversation next year . The fans deserve better .
It must be nice to be Keefe as he still gets PAID his full salary while unemployed. This is contradictory to reality because when normal employees get fired, all they receive in compensation is 2 weeks worth of pay. While fired, the Leafs are paying Keefe to stay at home and do nothing. I wish I could get fired from my job as well and still get paid my full salary for being unemployed as well.
2 weeks??? Go see an employment lawyer. They will get you more than that!
@arthurau...Compared to the $30 million they had to pay Babcock to stay away, they got off lightly. And it's not their money paid out - MLSEL takes the hit. No one said management was smart, just crafty in a "business" sense.
Sheldon keefe alone didn’t lose. Don’t let them twist you up.
It’s a good start.. at the very least.
Nice Inukshuk Mr. Dregger.
🇩🇪 Ich finde, dass die Maple Leafs im Kader alle sportlichen Puzzleteile haben. Sie müssen nur etwas geordnet werden. 'Core Four' sollte weiterhin zusammenbleiben, d.h. Mitch Marner sollte meiner Meinung nach zum Verteidiger umgewandelt werden.
How is Shanahan still running this team. Crazy.
Should hire Babcock
Shanahan had a decade, he needs to go next
Why do you think the owners keep him then? Could it be, as the President of Hockey Operations, he did a great job from a business perspective? Do the owners want to spend more $$$ to win a Stanley Cup which will only bring in $$ extra? Does that make a business decision easy or difficult to make?
Joel Quenneville should be the next head coach.
Management saving their own asses
SHELDON KEEFE!! HOOOLY MAACKINAAW!!
With the firing of their coach, Sheldon Keefe, I don't see the team moving on from The Core Four. The Logic, is, if the team was going to make any Major Roster Changes, then, why fire Keefe? Let me know what you think
The coach hasn't been the problem, the stupid strategy of being up against the cap because of a few divas, thanks to Shanahan, hamstrings the team's ability to add second level personnel.
Everyone still working from home including Shanahan
How many firings have there been but yet no change?
I expect the same result now.
Fire Shanahan..he is the bigger problem
Urgency for tv analysts. It better not be Berube. Only won cause he had goal tender that stood on his head, the conn Smythe and much better big talented defence that leafs won'thave for years. So good of coach that his stars left when given the chance. Losted cause we couldn't score. Nothing Berube knows anything about.
You are speaking truth - Berube is a coach that is completely the opposite of how this team is comprised, but that is often times how sports teams go - from one extreme to the other
The start of the slippery slope was signing 4 unproven kids to lottery money contracts and then worrying about their "feelings." Letting them fire Babcock because he was hard on them was just the first nail. Once a child realizes he can get what he wants without working, just screaming, you are screwed. You reap what you sow Toronto.
Unless management makes more changes to the current line up,they will get rag dolled in the playoffs by teams like the Panthers.The Buds are too small,too soft to go up against tough teams,there isn’t a coach going that would make a noticeable difference come playoff time.
its not the coaches fault its on the players
You're blinded if you don't think Keefe had a major ability to defeat the Bruins. Either the players didn't listen to him (which means he's not the right coach) or he simply didn't know an effective way to treat the poor PP, the poor PK and the poor scoring results. Could it be that he was out-coached with the exception of 3 games?
Craig Berube will be the next head coach of the Toronto Maple Leaf's
Hopefully Mariners next to go
Hoping Keefe goes to Wilkes Barre and is the HC in waiting for Mike Sullivan
Paul Maurice was fired but he's doing pretty dam good now 😮
They need Babcock. There is something going on with their phones because this melting happens year after year and Mike is the man for the job 😂
Would you go back to a company that treated you the way the Leafs did with Babcock? I don't think so. If he wants to coach again, there are other opportunities.
Keefe is not a bad coach but the Leafs need a tough coach with playoff experience. Keefe will be fine and will find another coaching job.
Would love to see John Tortorella coaching these entitles babies.....he'd turn them into a playoff team
I would love to see Mike Babcock. That would likely get the God ... I mean Mitch Marner ... to ask for a trade.
Doug Gilmour!!!❤
Whoever the coach is please stop putting the fourth line out after scoring important goals!!
And, please call a timeout so your best players can recover and remain on the ice.
Marner, Reilly, Woll and a 1st to Winnipeg to Morrissey and Hellebuyck
This is really some Toronto media for you. Talking about how Keffe is a good coach - what he did and overcame
As a Ranger fan, yall in Toronto NEED to blow this entire thing up. Unless you want decent regular seasons and getting kicked out of the playoffs in the 1st or 2nd round. Lets say it together : THIS - TEAM - DOESN'T - WORK : stop gaslighting these poor fans and call a spade A SPADE! Major roster moves are needed and THIS response from Dreger comes across as something you'd see on breakfast television
What an absolute joke
Got news for you. Leafs fans enjoy the gaslighting. Watch them come October. They will be filling the ACC all over again and blowing good money on crappy beer.
Feel good for Sheldon Keefe… Free at last!
Most stressful job in Canada.
