According to NHL Insider Chris Johnston, the Maple Leafs have fired goaltending coach Steve Briere. The team will apparently be analyzing each department and searching for a new goaltending coach for next season.
While I do not believe the goaltending coach is mainly behind the Leafs poor goaltending, these are some pretty horrible stats:
Steve Briere was with the Leafs for seven seasons, and here's how their SV% ranked:
2015-16: .904 (25th)
2016-17: .912 (13th)
2017-18: .917 (5th)
2018-19: .908 (10th)
2019-20: .901 (18th)
2020-21: .905 (15th)
2021-22: .900 (22nd)� Michael (@TheLeafsIMO) June 9, 2022
