The Toronto Maple Leafs announced yesterday that assistant coach Guy Boucher would not be back behind their bench next season. This comes a little over a month after the team fired head coach Sheldon Keefe to replace him with Craig Berube.
Guy Boucher made it known to the Toronto Maple Leafs that he wanted to be considered for the team’s head coaching vacancy, if the team elected to make a change, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
Last season, the Maple Leafs were once again eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The future of the Core 4 was called into question, but more importantly, it cost Sheldon Keefe his job.
It’s been over a month since the last Leaflets. Pretty much the second the Leafs excited the playoffs I was off to Japan and blissfully didn’t think about the Leafs for four weeks.
With Sheldon Keefe gone, the Leafs are looking for a new head coach. Who will have the tough task of taking this team to the second round for at least two consecutive seasons?
