Description

The Toronto Maple Leafs have without a doubt the best coach in all of hockey in Sheldon Keefe and his regular season coaching winning record is absolutely incredible.

Sheldon Keefe coached the Pembroke Lumber Kings to 5 Championships and the Toronto Marlies to 1 Calder Cup Championship and the Maple Leafs will be his next championship team.

Keefe has a winning regular season coaching record which is unmatched in all of hockey as follows:

Toronto Maple Leafs-NHL(2019-Present)
185 Games - 116 Wins, 50 Losses, 19 ties

Toronto Marlies-AHL(2015-2019)
320 Games - 200 Wins, 89 losses, 22 ties

Sault Ste.Marie Greyhounds-OHL(2012-2015)
204 Games-134 Wins, 55 Losses, 5 Ties

Pembroke Lumber Kings-CCHL(2006-2012)
423 Games-303 Wins,96 Losses,4 Ties

Kyle Dubas has gone out in a very focussed manner this offseason and acquired a number of under the radar defensive players for the Leafs requested by Sheldon Keefe to win a Stanley Cup in Toronto.

The Toronto media is starting to realize that the Maple Leafs are on the verge of greatness with their great star core players just entering their prime years, these recent player additions this offseason which gives the Leafs a solid 3rd and 4th line and under-rated goaltending, the value of the continuity of the overall team and having the best coach in all of hockey in Sheldon Keefe.

The Leafs improved to the 4th best winning record during the 2021-2022 season and hockey fans across the NHL are realizing that the Leafs have become a powerhouse team and are on the verge of greatness and winning a Stanley Cup.

The Leafs were a dynasty and won 4 Stanley Cups in the 1960's with their last great coach in Punch Imlach and look to repeat winning more cups with Sheldon Keefe.

Sheldon keefe is more of a middle of the puck coach at best.

Are all in my opinion better coaches. Everybody above torts is no question better than keefe. Sure keefe has had a good career as a coach don’t get me wrong, but if you look at his performance at the NHL level, it’s rather mild compared to other teams. He was brought in to elevate the leafs to champions and not just a good team and he has failed to do that so far. He may just wind up being the Nick Saban of hockey. Finds tons of success at the second best level but never is able to get to the top at the top level. His records have also progressively gotten worse as the leagues improve and that is likely due to more balanced competition but also it could be a sign he hasn’t necessarily improved as a coach and has used a lot of the same tactics at all levels. Keefe is a good coach don’t get me wrong, but he isn’t a good NHL coach. Given the talent keefe has been given, the lack of post season success must say something. They have been bounced in the first round every time he has been coach. It’s not that I am bringing up that point because the leafs can’t win a series, but that the leafs can’t win series against good teams. The teams that have bounced the leafs have all gone on to the semi finals. That shows the leafs are good but get bested by better teams. Against top 5 teams, the leafs were sub 500. The Avs were at 750 and they won the cup. That circles back to the original argument of keefe not being a great coach. His teams get bested by teams that are worse on paper and it shows that the elite coaching beats him and his teams. Montreal had their miracle run and they got lucky vs the leafs, but it was very preventable for the leafs to even allow montreal to come back from 3-1. The better coaches beat the leafs and that’s the short of it. Talent wise the leafs had the capability to win it all. Did they? That’s why I believe keefe is middle of the pack but won’t be the guy to lead the leafs to a cup.

Too bad Matthew Knies is playing another season at Minnesota. So it wont be until their season is done before he signs with the Leafs.
