@@pegnewsarepta3589 yes, he is a great guy. But that is besides the point. He coached them for 5 years!! They have massively underachieved. A drastic change is needed. From top to bottom. Nobody is safe.
And yet you were blaming him, when time and again, the common denominator was NOT the coach. It NEVER has been the past 20 seasons. Your organization is toxic. Madness for anyone who even remotely wants to play for ye.
Sheldon you will have a coaching job in the NHL in the near future. Enjoy the reset with your family and thank you for the 5 years that you put into this franchise. Much love ♥
Thanks Sheldon for the signature goodbye. You always appeared to me to be a straight shooter.I wish you the best.Enjoy your time with the real family.I’m sure you will be back in the NHL.
unbelievably pathetic. Forget about his skills as a coach. He's such a nice guy! What a class act! Who cares. What matters is beign a good coach. He can't install any discipline or work ethic into the leafs. They arent' even required to show for practice. Bet you didn't know that.
What a classy way to say adios. This is also a good time to be an out of work NHL coach with fishing season and so many NHL bench jobs to choose from, here's betting Keefe will be sitting at another team's draft table come June.
Thanks for all the joy you brought us during your tenure as the Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach. The end results were not as we would have hope but you showed class with this message. Thanks again and wish you the best.
I have a lot of respect for Keefe. He is a hard-working, dedicated coach who is a victim of having less than ideal personnel to deal with. all the best to you and your family Sheldon!
It takes much more than one man to get to the playoffs. A lot of things, including a little luck, have to happen at the right time. Always next year guys.😊
I have the upmost respect for you Sheldon! You took responsibility in the exit interviews and this video of gratitude today is everything in my opinion! I wish you well and have no doubt you will find success. You’re are not solely responsible! I am a lifelong Leaf fan but I will be watching you in your next NHL chapter! Be well
None of this is your fault Sheldon, and you didn’t deserve to be fired. Thank you for all your years of coaching in Toronto and best of luck in whatever it is you decide to do. I know you will end up on your feet elsewhere and will do well.
Im an Islanders fan but my hockey buddy at work is a Leafs fan. Over the past few years I have actually watched a ton of Leafs games. Too bad it didnt work out for this coach. He seemed like a good guy. What a great message from him.
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.❤
Montreal Canadiens fan here, I've always HATED the Leafs and everyone on their team. Mr Keefe, I can honestly say you are the most respectful and respected Leafs coach I've seen in almost 40 years of watching hockey. I'm sad for you guys, Mitch, John, the youngster Knies and especially Sheldon, I tought you deserved better. You guys earned my respect big time in the last couples years. Best of luck on your next challenge Mr Keefe!!
Thanks for your time here in Toronto, you truly are an incredible person and a great coach, wishing you the very best in your future endeavours and hopefully see you behind the bench really soon 👍
Mr. Responsible and that says it all. There is always lots of people to blame but few to take responsibility. Those who take responsibility are called leaders. Class gesture!!
Love you Sheldon! I think that you're an awesome coach and any NHL team should be happy to have you behind the bench. All the best...you will be missed! ❤
@Growingchannel637 Nobody did, but now that he's giving some bs speech to help him find a new job, suddenly, everybody loves him. Well, I don't and I'm glad he's finally gone. Unfortunately, he still gets paid his next 2 years at, what, 5 or 6M per season. Ofcourse he loves it.
Not a leafs fan, but I respect how he handled his removal. Classy. Respectful and honest. He will find a team and new home to coach. Seems like a genuine guy. Best wishes to you and your family. Enjoy the break. See you soon. Go Stars Go
As a spoiled New England fan, I can relate to the pain (Red Sox - 81 years). As a B’s fan I could give a $hit, and happy enough spoiled with 2011.. As a fan of accountability and good people, I’d root for this guy. Well said. At the end of the day, he’s not the one on the ice that needs to deliver.. every player knows.. it’s on them
Good luck Keefer. You tried your best to win here, took responsibility for not getting it done, and left with the respect for all the fans and the media that was in your face everyday. Wishing you the best, so long as it's not against the Leafs in the playoffs
Habs fan here, credit where credit is due. Keefe's 'parting note' video is one of class and respect. No nasty parting shots and no calling anyone out to blame anyone. This is how a farewell after a sacking should be carried out.
Bruins fan here. Keefe, I hope you find an organization with a roster that you can get through to. Seems like everyone else who's moved on from the leafs over the years immediately thrive elsewhere.
some players maybe such as Hyman, Kadri for example. Coaches not so much. Carlyle, Eakins Wilson, Babcock. Keefe is the best of this bunch though and will find a good team.
Thank YOU, Sheldon, for all your effort and such a professional and classy sign-off. Your record as one of the most successful NHL coaches ever will be remembered, and I hope you win a the cup one day. Wishing you the best of luck! (Probably back with Dubas in Pittsburgh!)
I'm not a Leafs fan but this is a classy man. It's not your fault Sheldon. Always admired your calmness behind the bench, the moment never seemed too big for you. Good luck on your future endeavors.
All the best, Sheldon, despite what others have said you are class act sir. Your open honesty and taking accountability for not getting a job done. All the beat in future endeavors enjoy time with your family Cheers
Mr. keefe, appreciate the effort, time and dedication you gave to the leags team and its fan base. Your a good man. All the best to you and your family on whatever adventure comes next.
Sheldon keefe is a mighty fine coach ,his character and integrity is unmatched. I cant say that for trevling dubas and shanahan. Lamoriello however is great. We love you coach keefe and wish nothing but the very best for you sir and your family.
@@KS-xk2so Because he loves hockey, lots of coaches pick back up even with a contract in place.. Maybe take a year off but when opportunities come up, you have to snag them before you become more forgotten.
@@SkateQrew Maybe back in the day. Now, head coaches make MILLIONS. Especially for big market teams. You think Sheldon's going to just turn down the 4 million dollars he's going to make for doing nothing over the next two years to go take some lame front office or assistant coach job? Get real.
@@KS-xk2so Not for front office or assistant coach, of course not.. I was implying another coaching job, obviously. How do you know about the clauses in his contract or how much the extension was for? You get real buddy.

Well, that was a fine example of a class act. All the best to you sir...
Well said ! Agreed
Nobody cares you clown leafs fan😅
Total class act!
You know another team is going to pick him up with that kind of attitude.
I was not really a fan of him (and def not the leafs), but am now.
Classy move from a good man. We’ll see more from him in the NHL, and may he and family find the right spot.
Pitsburgh?
@@jaapongeveer6203 possible but not probable in my opinion
This is one of the classiest parting "speeches" I've heard. Props to Sheldon. Good luck with where you land next!
It’s NOT YOUR FAULT!…. What a gentleman to post his own video. I Wish You All The Best!
Actually, its mostly his fault
Well abit of his fault but he is a nice guy
Big part was his fault. Are you from Mars?
Typical Leaf fan to say it’s his FAULT!.😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

@@conorcahill5422 Yeah it was definitely him in particular.
But one guy had 69 goals
@@philt77when it came to playoffs, he wasn’t ready. In fact, the whole team wasn’t ready. Only showed up for a few games.
@@Kellan0453 i think he was being sarcastic. as in the average leafs fan thinks the teams gonna win cause we got mathews.
What a class act by Mr Keefe. He had no time to talk to the media and this was way better than being asked by reporters.
what a class act. well deserved leafs coaching career! best of luck in the rest of your career sir...
Bruins fan here , enjoyed all the battles over the years , you’ll find somewhere where you can win I hope. Best of luck and enjoy your time off !
of course you enjoyed them...... you NEVER LOST

Thank you. This is a caring coach. He will be with another team soon. Hope there is a standing ovation his first game back it Toronto
There won’t be.

Wilkes Barre - Scranton for the baby Pens. Then Pittsburgh.
Class act for making a video and addressing it right away
probably written and ordered by shanahan ^^
Thanks Sheldon for the signature goodbye. You always appeared to me to be a straight shooter.I wish you the best.Enjoy your time with the real family.I’m sure you will be back in the NHL.
Class act and I am a die hard Wings fan. Classy move and will be back in the game. All the best.
Very classy true leader any team will be lucky to have you

A stand up guy, thank you. Wish you the best
You are a Class Act Sheldon, all the best in your future endeavours
Very classy Coach! Best of luck in your next endeavor! You will get another shot for sure.
I believe that it was time, along with some other moves (Marner). That being said, what a great example of class and leadership! Thanks Coach
All the best Sheldon. We appreciate your efforts over the years, be well.
Greta video man. Much respect for recording it 🤙🏻

Gawd bless !!! On ward and upward looking forward to seeing you behind the bench of a team that appreciates you
Enjoy your time off Keefe! Thanks for your hard work.
👏👏👏👍
Sheldon , you are one class act!!! Enjoy this time with your family. Good luck where ever your next job takes you.
That was example of humility and Class It takes a lot to make this video on a very low day in his professional career. Best of Luck Sir .
The maturity you've gained will bode you well in your next endeavour. This 60 year Leaf fan says thanks SK!
The players let *you* down, not the other way around.
Game of inches man, Boston is crazy good.
I kind of feel Shanahan is more to blame than Keefe
Boston ends in Florida
Florida is a beast
Shite rolls downhill. They were let down by upper management decades ago.
All the best to you Sir in your new ventures ❤
Absolutely enjoyed having you. You did what you could. It just didn’t get over the line. Zero issues with keefe. Just time to turn the page
Thanks for all the joy you brought us during your tenure as the Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach. The end results were not as we would have hope but you showed class with this message. Thanks again and wish you the best.
