Right now, Keefe is a genius hiding in plain view – but only if he wins
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe calls to his players during the third period of Game 2 against the Boston Bruins, on April 22, in Boston.Keefe often gets teed up in ways that beg a little humour. He doesn’t take those chances. Keefe is a serious person doing serious work in an outfit that takes itself more seriously than a moon mission.
Show you care, be belligerent when necessary, have a sense of humour and win a few. Those are the four habits of a highly effective Leafs coach. It’s not since Pat Quinn that anyone’s had them all. Keefe has none. Except, not him. He doesn’t die in any sense of that word. Nor do the most famous of his teammates. Or the guy who sharpens the skates. They all get to hang out at home for a few months and then do it again for the same amount of money.
Someone invited him to go in on Mitch Marner, who has been invisible again. A long answer about Marner’s challenges and qualities led to this superlative: “Mitch hasn’t changed the structure for one second.” Is this the team Keefe imagined all along? Has circumstance – the absence through injury of William Nylander, and then Matthews, and the usual early vacation by Marner – finally made his vision possible?
