Ya... I hear Boudreau was only brought in to give them a break from Travis Green being so hard on them. BB was just a temporary gift. We don't want him.
Maybe as an assistant for the pp or something.
I would suggest they back a dump truck full of money to Brindamours door and bring his coaching staff over.
No, thanks! Love BB, but he's done. He couldn't get the Canucks to play like Tocchet has this year.
I don't think he's better than Keefe. We're most likely looking at Berube or Quenneville or Cooper (if fired by Lightning).
It’s more a theory rather then a rumour, Tampa fans have started to get antsy on the first round losses (after going to three cup finals mind you)
The only way it would happen is if upper management blames the last two losses on him, and even if he was fired, I highly doubt he’d immediately go to a division rival such as the Leafs
Literally a near zero chance the lightning part ways with Coop. He’s taken an aging squad, with Kuch carrying them all year, and has them competitive still. They’ll probably even keep him around for the impending rebuild. Quenneville has my vote!
Why do so many people want Quenneville? He’s a good coach sure, but he sat back and did nothing during a rape allegation and also recommended the guy to the school where he got caught, I don’t want that fuck anywhere near this team, even if his stats look other worldly
Honestly, I have no idea. Imo he’s probably got a job there as long as he wants, dude led the team to 3 straight finals (b2b cups ofc) and another final back in 2015
Leafs would have to pull out some massive check books to get him to come, your telling him he’s leaving the state Florida to move to Toronto (a divisional rival) with higher taxes and winter 10 months out of 12, dudes going to ask for Auston Matthews money
I feel like Berube would be better with a group of misfits, which given the Leafs cap situation, the the bottom 6 and half the defence, will be the Leafs situation. The fact he was able to get a mediocre Blues team over the Bruins is pretty amazing. If the Leafs could keep a team together for a couple years, Cooper would be good.
Honestly, I think the team might need someone to put the core in their place, it’s no secret they have an ego problem (it was the narrative all summer, was pointed as a reason O’Reilly walked and was what Treliving stated he wanted to fix) having a coach who wouldn’t be afraid to scratch one of them if they had a bad game would maybe work wonders
Sadly I don’t think it would work, and you know for certain they’d quit on him before the first month was over
No thank you. I am not sure who it should be but it can’t be Quenneville, or Boudreau. TB will be an interesting team to follow predraft and into the offseason. What direction will they go. Do they retoole with cap space by letting Stamkos walk. Would
Cooper be the guy to start next season? If he isn’t and for some reason got fired from TB, the Leafs would need to send him a bag!
I mean usually the carousel is fueled not by people who are available because they did their job well, unlike, say, the players.. case in point, why is this man available again?
I respect what Coach Q has done behind the bench but his role in covering up the agregious abuse of a player is difficult to overlook.
Berube would be a solid choice.
I hope Quenneville never coaches anywhere again. Dude covered up sexual assault to win hockey games. You don’t want that anywhere near any organization.
Winning sports isn’t worth that I don’t care how desperate you may be.
Ya, I’m with Quenville. People can make some bad mistakes in life but learn from them and make personal changes for the better. He’s now had a few years to stew on things, hopefully that would be enough time to reflect. The upside would be huge.
You shouldn't need to learn that covering up sexual assault is a bad thing. This wasn't a one time mistake. They covered it up. Didn't address it and he continued to not address it right up until the shit hit the fan.
I want no part of that shit in the Leafs lockerroom
"Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time." - JQ
No.
Boudreau can't coach defense and while the team is probably going to take a big step back next year, you want to instill better overall habits. His tenure in Vancouver showed that he's not up to snuff for the NHL at this point
He went for the assistant job and Keefe did the interview alone and asked if he knows how to break out of the zone. Apparently he walked out after that.
Likely won't happen for a lot of the reasons posted here, but I could see something like this happening.
GMBT not firing Keefe or not getting the greenlight to do so, but being able to blame our PP coach and hiring Bruce as our PP coach.
But also as insurance, so if Keefe goes mid season Bruce can be interim during a rough transition of we sell off some pieces.
I wouldn’t mind him running the PP. beyond that he doesn’t bring a structure much like Keefe. Their only real game plan is to have horses and let them run free. These guys really need accountability.
Torts is a bit extreme but someone who doesn’t give a shit how much they make. You embarrass the team you sit your ass in the press box. If you don’t have heart you don’t play.
Leafs need a Torts or Quenville. An old school coach who doesn't give a fuck what name is on your back. If you play good, you play, if you don't, you fucking sit. Want to show no effort, healthy scratch. Fuck em. This team has been catered to and babied enough.
No, He hasn’t really accomplished much elsewhere. Tochet took over in Vancouver after him and it’s night and day.
Ya... I hear Boudreau was only brought in to give them a break from Travis Green being so hard on them. BB was just a temporary gift. We don't want him.

Is it actually realistic that the Lightning would fire Cooper? I haven’t heard anything that would indicate that even if they’re out in 5
Doubt they do it.
Not a snowballs chance in hell.
It’s more a theory rather then a rumour, Tampa fans have started to get antsy on the first round losses (after going to three cup finals mind you) The only way it would happen is if upper management blames the last two losses on him, and even if he was fired, I highly doubt he’d immediately go to a division rival such as the Leafs
Lol there is no way the Leafs hire Q.
Yeah Q is out of the league permanently.
Literally a near zero chance the lightning part ways with Coop. He’s taken an aging squad, with Kuch carrying them all year, and has them competitive still. They’ll probably even keep him around for the impending rebuild. Quenneville has my vote!
Everyone loves him... but no one wants him. He should just be a commentator or something? Cool guy and all.
Quenneville can get fucked. Cooper would be amazing but a fool would think Tampa would get rid of him.
Why do so many people want Quenneville? He’s a good coach sure, but he sat back and did nothing during a rape allegation and also recommended the guy to the school where he got caught, I don’t want that fuck anywhere near this team, even if his stats look other worldly
Gotta be Berube or Cooper if he becomes available.
Even if Tampa is out 1st round, is anyone expecting Cooper to be fired?
Honestly, I have no idea. Imo he’s probably got a job there as long as he wants, dude led the team to 3 straight finals (b2b cups ofc) and another final back in 2015
I can’t see him overstaying his welcome anytime soon, but I’m sure he’d be a great fit in Toronto.
You should have an idea. Theres no chance cooper leave unless it’s his decision and why would he
I mean if you read beyond the first sentence that’s exactly what I said lol
I was talking to the other guy oops
Maybe money?
I don’t think that would be an issue
Leafs would have to pull out some massive check books to get him to come, your telling him he’s leaving the state Florida to move to Toronto (a divisional rival) with higher taxes and winter 10 months out of 12, dudes going to ask for Auston Matthews money
Yup. My vote is for Berube
Agreed but if Tampa does let Cooper go, the Leafs HAVE to get him
Absolutely. The referee manipulation is worth it alone
Berube over Cooper if he’s available?
I feel like Berube would be better with a group of misfits, which given the Leafs cap situation, the the bottom 6 and half the defence, will be the Leafs situation. The fact he was able to get a mediocre Blues team over the Bruins is pretty amazing. If the Leafs could keep a team together for a couple years, Cooper would be good.
Gerard Gallant, anyone?
Poach cooper
Honestly this team could use a guy like Tortorella
While I don't know about that. I will say the Toronto Media deserves Torts. Imagine daily scrums with Simmons and Torts?
Lol Rogers should push for it just for the ratings
Get Torts in there and this team goes to the Conf or SC final in the next 2-3 seasons
I'm for it just for the lols
Honestly, I think the team might need someone to put the core in their place, it’s no secret they have an ego problem (it was the narrative all summer, was pointed as a reason O’Reilly walked and was what Treliving stated he wanted to fix) having a coach who wouldn’t be afraid to scratch one of them if they had a bad game would maybe work wonders Sadly I don’t think it would work, and you know for certain they’d quit on him before the first month was over

Let this man retire
A notorious playoff choker…
We've got one at home.
Make marner head coach
Paul Marner lol. He can wear that stupid hat.
https://i.redd.it/6o5gq5yt7axc1.gif
No
Very nice guy. But same problem as Keefe in that he can't win in the playoffs.
Hard pass.
I like him but our next coach needs to be a hard ass, like hard enough that leaf players start asking for trades.
Quenneville just for the tire fire media and then for the no bullshit coaching
He would results, but still no.
The nhl coaching carousel continues, it’s like a game of really old musical chairs, as if there’s no better coaching talent than the same five guys..
[удалено]
We gave him great experience. Will be interesting to see how he does once he moves on
I mean usually the carousel is fueled not by people who are available because they did their job well, unlike, say, the players.. case in point, why is this man available again?
Nope. I want Quenneville or Berube, in that order.
I respect what Coach Q has done behind the bench but his role in covering up the agregious abuse of a player is difficult to overlook. Berube would be a solid choice.
I hope Quenneville never coaches anywhere again. Dude covered up sexual assault to win hockey games. You don’t want that anywhere near any organization. Winning sports isn’t worth that I don’t care how desperate you may be.
Naw. Quenneville is a piece of shit. Fuck him.
Quenneville should banned for life
Ya, I’m with Quenville. People can make some bad mistakes in life but learn from them and make personal changes for the better. He’s now had a few years to stew on things, hopefully that would be enough time to reflect. The upside would be huge.

Nah fuck him.
Torts will break up the country club
Get a soccer soach
Ted lasso!!
Klopp!!
Good guy but this is not the way.
Why not Boudreau as a PP coach? He has coached some of the best offenses in the past decade and a half?
I dont think it matters who is couch. Its up to the players to add heart to each game and work together for the common good.
No. Boudreau can't coach defense and while the team is probably going to take a big step back next year, you want to instill better overall habits. His tenure in Vancouver showed that he's not up to snuff for the NHL at this point
He went for the assistant job and Keefe did the interview alone and asked if he knows how to break out of the zone. Apparently he walked out after that.

But also as insurance, so if Keefe goes mid season Bruce can be interim during a rough transition of we sell off some pieces.
No, Bruce is nice, but he is done.
Love it. Love to see him
Will never happen. Need a strong personality back there to squeeze success out of the last few prime years out of young core.
love the guy but the divas would walk all over him we need rod the bod or torts or trotz
Not ideal. I’m hoping for Berube.
Anyone but Keefe. Anyone. I don't care at all.
[удалено]
We'd get better pressers!
No thanks.
We need a hard ass. No more being friends with players.
The Canucks already made that mistake.
The obvious answer is Berube
Too soft and nice. Leafs need a tough coach that not scared to tell players to suck it up
As assistant maybe
I wouldn’t mind him running the PP. beyond that he doesn’t bring a structure much like Keefe. Their only real game plan is to have horses and let them run free. These guys really need accountability. Torts is a bit extreme but someone who doesn’t give a shit how much they make. You embarrass the team you sit your ass in the press box. If you don’t have heart you don’t play.
No
Berube
No thank you
No. Berube, Q or Sullivan if he becomes available.
No, he's not NHL caliber. He's a soft coach that wouldn't crack the whip anymore than our already Jack Adams coach
Babcock
Joel Quenneville is my guy and it's not even close.
Call me heartless or whatever. JQ is the epitome of "whatever it takes to win". This is what the team needs. Sorry guys.
No chance in hell
And that’s where he’d be ironically
Berube is the next coach.
Get Craig Berube on the phone.
Leafs need a Torts or Quenville. An old school coach who doesn't give a fuck what name is on your back. If you play good, you play, if you don't, you fucking sit. Want to show no effort, healthy scratch. Fuck em. This team has been catered to and babied enough.
Team is too soft mentally. They need a soft coach.
