Hey John. Just wanted to say, you are a perfect example for youth to see that when you love something, do it, stick with it, even stick with it through the times you feel like giving up on it, and when it’s time, the reward comes! You are going to have multiple opportunities to choose from! Good luck man!

[@HotTakeHockey]

Thank u so much! I really appreciate it

[@jonnydlive7848]

Good classy video. No need to tear a guy down personally, it’s a business of winning

[@donaldmcronald3543]

Everybody pull your phones out it's picture time lol

[@nickmusttravel]

It was not just connections but also the fact he won a calder cup with Toronto Marlies which warranted a chance but it went on for way too long.

[@teeganreed7989]

It was inevitable, now get rid of Shanahan too!!

[@ryans413]

The coach is one thing but management needs a shake up. Firing the coach is just a bandaid move it’s not fixing the bleeding cut that is the Maple Leafs.

[@cdb989]

Wow it’s like the Babcock firing all over again. As if a new coach will get this team over the hump🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rolandrothchild8889]

Unless they can Shanahan as well, NOTHING will change for the Leafs.

[@GVTH8SU]

I hate that the Blues fired Berube. Wasn't his fault that Armstrong went in a different direction. And honestly Berube took the bullet for Armstrongs crap contract decisions. Chief is a perfect fit for what Toronto needs to win.

[@duckymans7604]

It had to happen. I feel the extension that he signed earlier this year was just to make sure he was distracted throughout the season. If he performed this post season, he's locked in. We all know he didn't, so here we are. I'm not surprised

[@Allen-k6n1o]

Hire Bill Peters as new coach lol 😂😂😂

[@kaptinkuntry3092]

This better not be the only solution, there is still Mariner/JT contracts/cap space, then a goalie and get rid of MO44 to build a solid D-core. Still plenty needs to be done this off season but this is the right first step, the culture needs to change.

[@kieranperreaultdit-morin9262]

Yeah, he was on the ice. It was all his fault.👌

[@xrpbodyguard]

But he had to go😁 I'd like to see Berube as our next coach.

[@michaelbannister1056]

I am glad that you said. A new coach might solve some of the problems. The Leafs have a lot of talent, they all should be held accountable

[@johntuttle9012]

The main problem is the players the play as individuals not as a team

100% agree

its a start. keep going

[@CoolsBreeze]

Can you break down why Berube is good? Because I don't see it.

[@zachroberts1988]

He won a cup with a troubled team that also wears blue and has a history of being choke artists... He was also an extremely hard nosed player and his coaching style reflects that!

[@ColoradoRockies1976]

You mean 8x8 isn’t enough to make Brind’Amour think twice?

Yeah like 2 years ago right

[@marieabineau]

the fall guy in the spring...

[@Nicks_Shop]

Christmas came early!

[@thereaversden6847]

Berube won a cup simply cause Binnington went on an impossible tear of solid tending to carry the blues. If you look at both his post season and season records, he really isn't an upgrade, just a different voice. I'm not convinced his systems will work in Toronto. But that's just one man's take.

[@smadas4192]

Coach is always first to get axed! With his record, it wasn't deserved but you can't fire a team that isn't good enough to get it done!

[@trptyk]

at what point is the criticism directed at the players more , obviously keefe couldn’t get it done , but he’s got a plan that the team couldn’t execute. I think some leafs fans are so against pointing the finger at their own guys they make keefe the scapegoat. don’t disagree that this had to happen , but I feel for him as he’s the punching bag in this whole debacle.

[@tomfilipiak3511]

Treating these players with kid gloves is really getting old,all of sports are ruining the games played,by coddling the players,come on ,players you are millionaires ,perform,and if you don’t,don’t call mommy and complain!

As a leafs fan I am so happy we are finally getting changed keffe is such a good person in real life but we need change I hope that we Joel quinnville or Craig burble

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

Now can we overhaul the rest of the club? Waited my entire life for the Leafs to lift a Stanley Cup again. Long overdue (sack most of the rest of the team too)

[@Evasive2049]

What about David Carle?

[@gregkirby9059]

BRO yes they needed to fire KEEFE... next they need to fire Shanny

[@jackl52]

Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like if you take the things Toronto is good at (Goal scoring and the Power Play) away from them, they have no where else to go. Roster Construction is part of that.

[@jacklongley5932]

The best decision for Toronto

[@1jazyjaz]

The character of this team needs change. Start with the president, players (44,,16, 37, 91, 78, 35, 25) then, talk to me about a team that could have a different outcome. Do not be attached to these players no matter how nice they might be as people/individuals. It's a business!

[@jefftaylor844]

Yeah, firing Keefe will help on the ice - LOL ! The Harold Ballard curse will continue. 56+ years will no Stanley Cup Finals series appearances - horrible.

[@BsNation94]

Gotcha

[@alexng7977]

I hope im wrong but i dont know if firing Keefe will dramatically change this team. End of the day, the core 4 and our team structure just isn't built for playoff hockey. Given the amount of skill and in combination with grit acquired by Tre, this team still choked in the playoffs. I never hated Keefe as much as most, he wasn't an amazing coach, he did get outcoached, but end of the day, players let us down. Year after year, its the same thing, our top players are not our top players.

[@Habsfan56744]

Imagine if they hire Babcock

[@KennethFrinskie]

If leafs had a goalie like Markstrom they would in the second round

[@JohnSmith-ro6vw]

babcock won a Cup as well. Didn't workout with the Leafs either.

[@HotTakeHockey]

Babcock won a cup with a STACKED red wings team. I was hyped about Babcock at the time, but didn’t know the behind the scenes stuff. It’s also hard to have a veteran like that deal with kids. They aren’t kids anymore… time for a full culture change

[@brent8113]

Keefe is not the problem.. sorry to burst your bubble

[@TOOL-22]

💙🤍Let's celebrate 🥳🥂🍾🎉🎊🎇🎆

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Keefe not the issue. He has won championships at every level he coached. Does he deserve to be let go. Yes after 5 years its time. The blame is all on MLSE for coddling, pampering, insulating, and not holding the young core 3 accountable ever. Every year it was the core to blame for the loses in the playoff. Keefe will have numerous playoff runs somewhere else and he will take a new team to cup gloary before the leafs hoist one. Its time to slowly gut 75% to 100% of this core to build a proper team with a culture of hard work, grit, and accountability. Its to late for Matthews, Nylander, and Marner. After years of having it their way, no way in hell will they change there approch to there game and the teams new philosophy now. Time to move on from them. As sad and painful that will be.

[@chancebrookshier3452]

If chief does come coach for the leafs, please don’t do him like all the other coaches, he is beloved in Stl, take good care of him

[@liisamichelleharkness159]

No surprise here. Sheldon will survive, probably go on to be a superstar with another team, i.e., a cup win !!

[@victorrobert2778]

If Shanahan is next and I'll be convinced that real change is on the way.

[@Firearcher4]

Fans make me sick. I have a long memory. Every player Leafs fans said sucked and ran out of town seems to have gone elsewhere and proved them wrong. People are trying to fix things thinking that getting rid of this person and that person will solve the problems. Perhaps there are no problems. This team can win. Only 1 team of 32 hoists the cup. Busting up the core as so many of you demand is not the magic beans you think it is. By doing nothing or doing something the odds of winning is the same.

[@Goldbergbiggestfan777]

It’s over 😂😮

[@lukeeyeamyourfather3488]

Years ago I called Keefe the softest coach in the league, when he was crying post game, about clean hits his team was receiving during a loss to the Flames! The grief I got for making that comment! A soft Coach = a soft team! A soft team will never win in playoffs period!

[@greggom656]

Team is built for Regular Season. Keefe got most out of those players including mediocre goaltending. I think the GM deserves blame for the team. The team is cash strapped due to contracts. Players are soft. To criticize Keefe being outcoached by John Cooper? Take a number for those coaches.

[@vmi4172]

If the Pens are stupid enough to move on from Sully, I think he'd be the perfect coach for the Leafs. Coach Q is another good option. All I know is they need a tough, proven, no nonsense HC behind the bench to make men out of these soy boys.

[@conorcahill5422]

Good for him he's now left your toxic organization. As always, it's the coach that has to take the fall. When it very well might never have been their fault to begin with. I hope he LAUGHS at you if you fail to make it even to the playoffs next season.
