The Toronto Maple Leafs have decided to part ways with head coach Sheldon Keefe, a move that didn't catch many by surprise given the team's recent playoff performance.

After another disappointing first-round exit, this time against the Boston Bruins, speculation about Keefe's future began to swirl.

The #LeafsForever have relieved Sheldon Keefe of his coaching duties.




The signs were clear when the Leafs delayed their usual post-season media activities, hinting at big changes.

It's now confirmed that Keefe has been fired, marking the start of what looks to be a significant offseason for the team.

Critics have long questioned the wisdom of extending his contract at the start of the 2023-24 season.

Now, Keefe joins the list of Maple Leafs coaches who have been paid to step aside, as the team aims to break its cycle of playoff disappointments.
