Leafs coach with hit comment after game 7 loss

Keefe's comments after their 2-1 overtime loss at TD Garden hinted at the frustrations his team faced, especially with scoring. Despite having star-studded offensive players, the Maple Leafs have stumbled to find goals in the playoffs, a topic Keefe tried to address during his post-game talk.

Keefe delved deeper into his team's showing, expressing a mix of pride and frustration. While acknowledging their disciplined defensive play, which kept them competitive, he couldn't overlook the glaring issue: a stagnant offense. The power play, once a potent weapon, faltered when it mattered most, converting only once in a whopping 21 chances across the series.

Keefe's uncertainty about his future with the Maple Leafs lingered through last summer, particularly after the team chose not to extend the contract of general manager Kyle Dubas following their second-round playoff exit against the Florida Panthers.

After the Maple Leafs' disappointing exit from the playoffs, the future of coach Sheldon Keefe hangs in the balance. Despite signing a two-year extension just last summer, his job security remains uncertain. The team's offensive struggles, especially a dismal power play, have cast doubt on Keefe's ability to lead the team to postseason success. As the organization evaluates its options, fans are left wondering if Keefe will still be behind the bench next season.
