2019-2020 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

What we all seem to turn a blind eye to is Keefe's winning percentage's over 4 levels of the best hockey on the planet and whenever I comment on it, there is never one response.  Keefe started with a floundering team, the Pemberton Lumber Kings, turned them around and had an amazing win percentage.  So much so that Dubas hired him to turn around his floundering Soo Greyhounds, Keefe did, again compiling an amazing winning percentage. So when Dubas gets promoted to the Marlies, he brings Keefe along for the ride. Not saying the Marlies had bad talent, but he took them to the Calder Cup, the nearest thing to the Stanley Cup this side of the Rio Pecos.  Look at his win percentage with the Leaf to date, seems to be pretty much on line with his historical averages.  If Freddie had not gone down against the Panthers, does one of us think the loss would have happened? Not me.  That would have been 4 straight wins from the break. Do we need Anderson or first line goaltending yes. But don't think Keefe's win percentage is an aberration, as it is not.  Time after time he posts the same winning percentages.  I dare say the faces on the Leafs the game before Bab's was fired looked like they were at a funeral procession.  Look at their faces now, animated happy and hungry.. It's been a crazy yet entertaining season.  And I am looking forward to whatever happens cause boy we are playing amazingly entertaining hockey. Hell, he even seems to be teaching Matthews a 200ft. game, which he plays from time to time. I think we will see it more frequently now.

That?s another reason why Keefe should have been there (behind the Leafs bench) before the season began, meaning Babs should have been a gone sooner.

But at least, we can all be happy and rest assured that with Keefe at the helm, this team is and will be continuing into the right direction.  This is just the beginning of even greater things to come from & for this hockey team.

Hindsight is 100%, now that we know about the real Babcock, he should have been replaced before the season.  So this is either on Shanahan but probably more Larry T.
 
Rielly?s already injured. The best case scenario is him being out the entire regular season and buying some defense with the cap space. Rielly can come back for the post season without cap implications.

Rest of the season means he won't play until playoffs. Not necessarily a bad thing.

EDITED....Herman beat me to it...lol
 
TSN reporting that Ceci will be "evaluated in a month" and a decision made from there, so I guess we'll get an extended look at Lily on the right side of the 3rd pairing. I hope he and Sandin rip it up and extinguish any thought of Ceci being more than a bench-warmer for his remaining few months as a Leaf.
