[Stein] #NJDevils HC Keefe a déclaré qu’il avait passé la pause dans le calendrier « à plonger dans ce qui s’est bien passé, ce qui ne s’est pas bien passé, et évidemment, il y a eu trop de choses qui ne se sont pas bien passées. J’ai passé beaucoup de temps à diagnostiquer cela, à y travailler, juste à essayer de faire quelques ajustements. »

It’s like 3 months too late for that. He needs to go.
As a conductor on the Fire Keefe/Fitz train, I intellectually know that this guy understands hockey and is capable of making adjustments. For me, I really need to see a massive change to the deployment of his players to finish the year if he wants to have a job at the end of the season.
Even then, I may still confidently want him gone.
Clown
Idk maybe the holiday break would have been a good time to make some adjustments. But I just get drunk in the 200s so you probably shouldn’t take that thought seriously
Whats going well….nothing
What’s going wrong….everything
well i better hope so
Adjustments that need to be made; Give Nemec more ice time, kick Rogalski in the balls like really fucking hard, tell Bratt to shoot the puck and show Jack the gym
Can’t wait to trade for a fourth liner and give him a 4yr NMC
Coach uses extended time off to review and address issues
Devils fans: « How dare he, he should be fired »
Seriously. I’m not saying things have been good, but the schedule didn’t leave room for a deep dive. It was game, review things quickly, get some sleep, and move onto the next one. This is a three week break where he also has the benefit of seeing his big name guys playing under different circumstances and can evaluate them more, something not doable during the holiday break
That’s what I tell my boss when I go out drinking.
Well the only way I see is keeping him and Fitz is making the playoffs and to manage that we gotta win what 20 of remaining games?
Well the « what’s gone well » part must’ve taken 30 seconds
Keefe is going to need a longer break.
Please abandon low event hockey. Please please please.
Tight d. Quick exit, and no more dump and chase. Team isn’t built to be entirely grinders
Just in time to be basically out of the playoff picture. Cool cool cool
I honestly have been defending Keefe to some extent, largely due to his success with the Leafs (regardless of the playoff success, that’s been an issue with Toronto for years before him). I’ve seen it more as an issue with Fitz and the players he’s drafted/signed, and what he wants the team to be, and Keefe having to work with what he’s got.
Watching how our players are playing in the Olympics, it’s clear that Keefe is just as, if not more, culpable. So I’m cool with both of them getting axed.
So he goes from saying it’s not a system issue and blaming the players, to admitting he’s been making changes to the system lmao. A little too fucking late for changes huh Keefey? If only we didn’t wait until the season was shot.
I think a better idea would be him diving into the lake he was on when the Devils stupidly called him and offered him this job.
Our guys look good playing pick up hockey at the Olympics. What gives dude? Figure it out.
Dude works his ass off, anyone out here thinking that this break was the first time he has gone through the teams play and what has been working is a joke. Reddit gets me mad with the amount of clueless people. It’s rage bait every time going in to the comments
What a dork.
“Our new red, white & blue/red white/maroon white/royal blue and gold jerseys should allow our players the flexibility and comfort they apparently need to thrive”
I’m honestly shocked at how bad Keefe has been. If he’s not doing the things he’s doing at Fitz’s behest, he should never coach in the NHL again. And if he is, well
So Keefe spent the break dumpster diving….
Would have been nice if he did this earlier, when the team was struggling.
But maybe they’ll pull off a miracle rally. I doubt it, but hope springs eternal.
Oh good so we’re back to country club vibes to close out the season.
Good thing he waited till we were practically eliminated from playoff contention to do this
Markstrom needs to keep wearing his olympics gear
Score more goals on 5v5 offense. The team will start winning again.
It’s okay guys just trust the process…..
Keefe cannot mend his system to fit the playmakers he has. Every star shined in the system they were placed in with limited practice and chemistry for their national team. It’s clear he needs to go. And Fitz has to find a sniper for jack. Like the minute the roster freeze lifts.
Sheldon it’s a literally too late to start doing your job!
Isn’t this clown on record saying the « system » isnt the issue but now it is an issue and adjustments need to be made? Crazy how almost every Devil in the Olympics played crazy good puts the coach on front street…
