One of my favourite moments in hockey was seeing Keefe's reaction to the leafs making it to round 2 last year. Guy has heart, incredible class act. You will be missed!
Wow, u are the best man to talk like respect u are the best chouch we have had in years. I wish the best in pins, bench, dubus. u are the man u didn't blame anyone else and took your part like a man u are not a normal couch wish u the best and wish u had made us cup with your name you'll be one of best behind the bench lots of respect ❤️ 😊thank u for your support and help with the leafs jersey
The Job and responsibility of your immediate TWO boses was to remove barriers to help you and the team to be successful …they let you down with their failings. Good luck Sheldon too bad they didn't understand their responsibilities. You will be successful with your future coaching endeavours. Like they say "you really haven't played in the BIG league until you have played for the Maple Leafs and moved on to a more successful team". Thank you for your commitment and coaching prowess! Be proud of what you achieved knowing the impossible task and expectations you had to deal with. Both Mark and Lou knew what was coming from "management" and got out leaving you to try to make something out of a bad situation and poor leadership! The "Shiny Penny" has now left the team complete with his failed analytics to grace another team. He should have learned something in the Soo when he was there but didn't. This is from a "Soo" boy who is 79 years old and played hockey with the Esposito boys when we were young!
He was just collateral damage from Marner, Tavares, and Matthews not showing up to play playoff prison rules hockey. They sure showed up for that big signing day though. B's fan here, C'mon Leafs! Original six need to stick together. Quenneville? Julien?
Thanks Sheldon. You have always been very mature and seemingly well suited for the job. I’m not alone in saying Toronto really appreciates you and everything you did for the leafs. Wherever you go next, they will get a classy guy and a proven winner. Good luck going forward.❤
The Laafs issue was NOT the coaching. They need to try and trade half the primadonnas on the team and drain the cancer. Keep Mathews, Nylander, Wohl and the rest can go
Better to be dumped now instead of under Dubas, who would have fired Keefe too of course despite his never ending dumb trades and decimating the farm and all the draft picks. So good for Sheldon.
He did his best. They need to get rid of marner, tavares and samsonov. Why didnt they start woll he helped tie up the series im convinced they would have won if woll started. Best of luck sheldon. P.s samsonov sucks.
Imagine no longer being under a microscope by absolutely everyone and knowing your bills are paid for the next two years…hard to covey humility with a smirk on your face. I think he’s gonna be just fine.

Awesome guy! Leafs Nation loves you Keefer. Great job fixing the team defense issue.
Keefe is a great guy and probably a better human being. But that locker room has had no urgency to accomplish anything.
Big respect for that guy!!
Thanks for your amazing work u r a great coach I will miss u

Don’t like leafs or keef but that message was pure class
Sorry all you had to work with were the little boys Kyle Dumbas recruited/contracted into a man's league.
SHELDON KEEF YOU ARE A GREAT GREAT COACH
Pure class!
Biggest mistake getting Tavares instead of defense and GOALTENDING!
live long and prosper
You are an amazing coach Sir. The devils will be knocking on your door real soon. Thanks for your time in Toronto! You will be missed.

Get out
Id rather see shanahan. You got burned bud
The Laafs issue was NOT the coaching. They need to try and trade half the primadonnas on the team and drain the cancer. Keep Mathews, Nylander, Wohl and the rest can go
Honestly Its not really his fault at all
Other than the fact that he let marner in the ice
cry baby dud.
Very classy message!
CLASS ACT
awesome
i actually think this was the man to bring us the cup its the guys that let everyone and let the coach down we'll miss u brother
Classy move. Best of luck
Nicely done. Hard not to respect that.
Better to be dumped now instead of under Dubas, who would have fired Keefe too of course despite his never ending dumb trades and decimating the farm and all the draft picks. So good for Sheldon.
HABS fan here, class act! Best of luck Nation.
Classy guy! We will see him again…
So keefe goes fishing when the rest of the boys are golfing 18 hole😂
This guy good guy thank hard work
Wow. This Canucks fan tips his hat to this guy. Classy.
If your looking for a coach to get you into the play offs hes the guy gets there every year
Is that Lake Superior or did he B-line it to Florida?
Good luck Sheldon That was class
He did his best. They need to get rid of marner, tavares and samsonov. Why didnt they start woll he helped tie up the series im convinced they would have won if woll started. Best of luck sheldon. P.s samsonov sucks.
Class act, no reason to get rid of him. The revolving doors of coaches is a joke sometimes.
Keefe you didnt do enough to adjust in the postseason, youre a regular season kinda guy
Everybody talking about what a good guy you are and they’re probably right but that’s not what this team (or any team) needs.
You had no fire. You coached them like they were a peewee team. Your pregame speech before the latest game 7 amounted to “have fun guys!”
You didn’t teach them to clear the d zone while under pressure. Guys just hucking it against the boards and hoping for the best for 5 years.
You didn’t teach them how to enter the o zone (especially on pp). Just dump and chase or the ol line up on the blue line while 1 guy flies in.
You didn’t teach them urgency. Opponents always had time with the puck while our boys always faced a forecheck within .5 seconds of touching a puck.
While I get the need for this kind of video for your future employment, I can’t say that gm’s will disagree with me, you shit the bed.
You’d better come up with some better schemes if you’re lucky enough to get any interviews.
Also, Brampton is Ontario’s unwashed a33cr4ck, one rung above Hamilton. Thanks for nothing.
I’m not a Leafs fan in any way. What a classy guy!
Like he's the only problem!
Good Luck Sheldon !!!
Happy for the guy. Class act.
If I here class one more time 🥴
He looks relieved to get out of that mess. Big respect to Keefe for being accountable and saying his goodbyes on video.
