The New Jersey Devils Head Coaching search comes to an end.
The NJ Devils will name Sheldon Keefe their next Head Coach.
Sheldon Keefe was recently fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs after being eliminated from the 1st Round of the Playoffs by the Boston Bruins in 7 games.
I discuss the hiring in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Awesome video as always Ace! Speaking of free agency, how would we feel about Brady Skjei? I think he's been great for Carolina and think he'd do well with our team now here in Jersey!
I wanted Bertuzzi last season and he is a Sasquatch player and is a guy I would love to have
Leafs fan. Keefe is a great signing. Great coach. Bad goaltending. Brutal division. Not his fault on results. Not enough depth talent.
Great, now can we please for the love of god, get a damn goalie???
Since I’m a Toronto fan as well. I’m not happy tbh.
Heck of a goal by Lafreniere tonight.
Bobrovksy pulled a Brodeur tonight… GO CATS! Let’s hope 1997 doesn’t repeat itself where we won game 1 3-0 and lost the next 4
my only issue with sheldon is he is a massive dump the puck play the boards coach. our team has no grit and toughness to play like thay
Nico/Timo line 1 Hughes/Bratt will be on a line every night with Keefe, I bet Holtz is going to get a shot to prove he’s top 6 forward at the start of the year
With you- Berube would have been nice, but I’m thinking maybe too tough for these kids.. I would love any kinda tough injected into the staff.
Also can’t really blame a coach for the Leafs failures, it’s the Leafs (still early in this video, you may end up saying this)
I feel the same way you do. I’m on the fence. I’ll be happy to make the playoffs but I’m not a fan of how he was talking about his team when their season ended.
Saros is upon us chat 🗣️🗣️🗣️
This team needs a goaltender next. Brady coming would be cool but other then that I wanna see a stud in the net be the next piece we look to grab
I'm completely fine with the Keefe hire, my only hangup is the clip of his game 7 pregame speech. That being said as a coach you need to coach to the players you have and as soft as the Leafs core is, he probably felt he had to try and coddle them. Hopefully it's a mistake he's learned from. Plus it's gonna be hilarious to get to troll Leafs fans when in his first year with us Keefe more than doubles (hopefully quadruples) his playoff series wins.
As for Berube he lives in Philly and spent over 20 years in the Flyers organization as both player and coach, personally I don't have any interest hiring a Jihadist to pilot our team. Easy pass on picking up a double agent.
Devils need a goalie a physical defenseman and a physical forward who can score 18m in cap space 14m if say 4m max for mercer
I'm in the same boat as you… we'll see. I'm so glad it's not Woodcroft that would have been a bad move. I guess we'll find out exactly how much of how bad the Leafs have been post-season, was down to the players. I reckon he'll get us in the play-offs, if we stay healthy. LGD 😈🏒
Would love to see Keefe's Devils knock the Leafs out of the Cup 🤣😎
Love your content dude! As a UK fan your insight is always really useful! GO DEVILS!
Interesting signing. I think he'll do a good job with the young core without the media pressure he had in Toronto. Could have been much worse. Welcome to New Jersey.
Welcome Sheldon, we got the cup next baby! Let’s go gooooo
One thing's for sure… Fitz can no longer punt seasons. He blew it last season by not using Dougie's LTIR money to acquire a player and ignored the goalie situation until they were out of the playoffs. That absolutely cannot happen again under any circumstances. If Keefe wants a player, Fitz has to get off his ass and make it happen.

Why does the nhl hire the same people over and over like you were just fired because you stink and can’t do crap in playoffs but hey do you want a job.
:50 Berube was not coming to Jersey… he wanted Toronto. Once the Leafs moved in from Keefe it was going to happen. If you really look around it was Keefe, Woodcroft and McClellan. None of those guys have a cup.
We got our tickets in Prague for the 10/5 game, next season is the year! LGD!
100 percent right not Keefe`s fault the style of play in the playoffs the goaltending has always been an issue and too many soft players. hurt the Leaf`s again.
Your only as good as the players you have and when you pay 4 guys over half the cap space that will kill ya too. then you have to fill in holes with 3rd of 4th line players at best.
One of the pluses hiring Keefe is his having coached Bertuzzi & Domi. Leafs want to resign both but if they don’t…
As a Leafs fan, I am happy for Sheldon. He was a good coach who has much to learn with a good young team
Come on Fitz. Now get Brady Tkachuk !!!!!
