The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in a weird boat in turns of their Head Coach Sheldon Keefe. A new report hints at a possible change in Toronto.
Keefe Out As Head Coach Of The Leafs
A new report has come out that the Maple Leafs may be in the market for a new bench boss as there is a meeting planned between all executive members but the Head Coach.
BREAKING NEWS: Leafs ownership, president, and GM are having a meeting this morning/early afternoon. Looks like a coaching change is coming. Stay tuned.
After a lack of performances from key players and questionable decisions leaving fans to wonder if Keefe is out as the coach.
The Leafs Lack Of Success Leading To Keefe's Job Being At Risk
It's not often that a team that is 21-12-8 is questioning a coaching change but with the Leafs being so reliant on their star players to score all their goals.
The Leafs have been middle of the pack defensively averaging 3.24 goals against, with defensive numbers like that the offense needs to try and outscore their problems, this has not worked for the Leafs thus far.
With one of the league's worst penalty kills in the league the Leafs will need a massive turnaround in the second half of the year to make a push for a strong playoff run.
The Leafs fan base has seemingly begun losing patience with Keefe and the numbers do not help his situation. A team with this many superstars should not be in a boat like this but rather should be looking to win a Stanley Cup.
The Leafs next play tomorrow night against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.
