- Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment President and CEO Keith Pelley on Friday joined Maple Leafs Team President Brendan Shanahan and General Manager Brad Treliving to discuss the state of the team while also addressing the firing of head coach Sheldon Keefe on Thursday.
"This is the first time I've spoken publicly at a news conference as the CEO of MLSE," Pelley said. "And with that title brings heavy responsibility of overseeing the Toronto Maple Leafs. And I relish that opportunity. And at the core of that responsibility is the real reason I came back to Toronto - and that is to win. When I asked during the interview stage what is the definition of success to the owners one of them immediately said emphatically 'just win,'" Pelley added.
After firing head coach Sheldon Keefe on Thursday, General Manager Brad Treliving addressed the decision saying "This is a really good coach. It's an excellent person. The difficulty of this business is really good people and people who are good at their job need to be changed."
The Leafs were eliminated in the first round of the NHL playoffs last Saturday after a Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins in overtime. The Toronto Maple Leafs have two playoff series wins in the last 20 years, and have not won the Stanley Cup since 1967.

You should resign Brendan, don’t tell us “it’s on me”.. prove it and resign.
Wow that’s a lot of lip service people, WOW.
if the playoff results are on Shanahan, why isn't he leaving
He's gone next season.
This Habs fan says let the rebuilding begin. Loved watching the ineptitude of the '81-82 Leafs.
Do us all a favour and fire Shanahan.
The slobbering over Sheldon Keefe was disgusting. Shanahan should be gone as well. Nothing substantive.
How is it disgusting ? How about making the players accountable for not showing up year after year .same code same results. That a management issue not a coaching issue
@@coryfoley95 You're right- Players should be held accountable. But Keefe should have been gone before now.
Shanahan should have been fired 4 years ago.
Does Shanahan have memory problems? He has literally said the same thing for years now at every end of season presser... How we are supposed to trust this mans words is beyond me..
Safe to say Shanny F’ed up. He had Lou and Hunter with a vision of building a team through the draft system. Instead the two of them got released and Dubas became GM trading away draft picks for morons. We are here now
Exactly, wrong decision after wrong decision. Look at the Raptors, couphed up Anunoby ot the Knicks and they are on the verge of the Eastern conference finals, Hyman to Edmonton, on and on....
Yes, not choosing Lou was a horrible play by Shanahan. He's gotta go.
The fact they made a big deal about their press conference to say nothing.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Same old nonsesne, no wonder the players also tune out the message
As much as they talk about change i sense there's not going to be much!
31:06 Love him or hate em, but Steve Simmons always asks the right question. The Leafs have 3 of the top 9 paid players in the league (no other team has 2 players in the top 10 let alone 3 players) and their offensive production in the regular season justifies this to some extent but their character, production and effort in the playoffs is a dramatic fall off and does not warrant the high salaries.
This answer by Shanny of explaining it as "a pattern that needs to change", isn't good enough. To say later that they are a band of brothers is scary because if that was the case, their unit in warfare would of been completely destroyed. Doesn't it bother this group that at the players exit interviews, none of the core 5 took personal accountability for the loss? It sure bothered me to hear the same old "we got a great group of guys here, we're close, etc"
Bottom line, 2 of the big 5 players have to go. All 5 have no trade deals and each has term ranging from 1 to 8 years, so this isn't going to be easy. But it must be done. These 5 and Shanny are the common pattern that Shanny speaks about. So either he changes the 5 or he goes. This is sickening.
Get rid of Shanahan,A.S.A.P.
I don't have a confidence in GM Brad Treliving who gave Jonathan Huberdeau an 8 year 80.50 million contract at age 30
Agreed. It was actually 84 million. He also traded a 1st round pick and Sean Monahan in order to get the cap space to sign Kadri.
Lol... Nothing will change.
These idiots spent over 40 million on 4 players... No chance you win that way.
Basically nothing is happening.
somehow this audio is better than leafs own feed
It is not the coach, it is not the right mix of players, get real.
Everybody taking responsibility, but nothing changes. Not only haven’t they won The Cup in zillion years, they have exited this year in the first round. Boston were not world beaters. Quit handing out big contracts to guys like Shanahan who has not done what needs to be done. Useless, useless this talk.
This management group seems clueless. I'm surprised they didn't announce an 8 year $96 million extension for Marner.
cant believe that shanahan is not fired,no wonder the leafs are the ways they are unreal
why is the audio so bad? This organization can't even get that right!
wait until you see the leafs feed lol
From being a leaf hater I am more than happy that they are keeping Shanahan and using Keefe as the scapegoat goat. They might have a chance without the shanahan input. I doubt that will change with his 6 million dollar salary that there organization chooses to waste.
What a load of bollocks this was
I'm responsible,he's responsible.These are just words to please the media.
Auston Matthews was suffering from a virus called anxiety, many of us know those symptoms really well.
The problem with this team is you have a core group of players that have been told they're amazing their whole life, they play around their "talents" and have no idea what hard work and sacrifice actually is.
The problem is they paid these kids before they proved themselves deserving and paid them on what they could be, and and now they are entitled and under performing when it counts. Matthew's, Nylander, Marner.... these guys are more scared of losing teeth then winning hockey games. They've been paid. They have already won and gotten what they want. A cup is what the fans want.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE LEAFS IS THEY RELY ON MATHEWS TO WIN EVERYTHING ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITHOUT FULL TEAM EFFORT
I liked Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day" better than Brendan Shanahan.
Can't even have a professional press conference with operating backdrop, proper mics and one for the audience providing questions . Demonstrates the lack of attention to detail. No numbers or science referenced just old platitudes. No demonstration of the intention to change, disappointing
They can say what they want MLSE is the richest hockey franchise in the league they make boat loads of money every year and that’s what it is all about , these press conferences are all well and good it’s always about making money, another thing what dose this board do for the organization
Maybe the fans stay away. That would get their attention.
Maybe people think differently with what is being said, cuz they wont directly publicaly refer to players, but we gotta read between the lines.
If there is a mitch or to a lesser importance JT trade out there, they are gonna do it. Doesnt make sense to lay all your cards out, but i can finally see a world in which they actually make significant changes to the team and the core
I have been a leafs fan all my life and they need to quit blaming the coach they have changed coaches numerous times and yet we continue to lose in the playoffs. Well before you change coaches I think you need to go a little higher like get rid of Shanahan what has he done since he has been here nothing maybe we need to start at the top and work down instead of always blaming the coach. The leafs have a good regular season team but in the playoffs we just don't have the players that get better in the playoffs. So I listen to Mr Shanahan and what have you done over the many years he has been here. WE need someone who is good at chossing players and it is obvious he needs to take the same blame and maybe he needs to listen to his own message and they need someone else in that position and someone who sets up a good staff to pick good prospects whu=ich we have a couple of good one now 1 in goal and another playing wing and we need better and bigger players who have skill and toughness. It is time to get someone at the top who knows prospects and how to hire scouts who see that. I am just tired of the coach being blamed for everything. Thankyou Sheldon you I guess became the goat and that is a shame.
I’ve been really cynical on the Leafs for the last few years… and my expectations for anything significant coming out of this presser were really low. I think because of those low expectations, I was sort of pleasantly surprised. This is the first presser that I’ve heard Brendan allude to the possibility of a breakup of the core 4 (saying everything is on the table). In past pressers from past years, Brendan spent most of those pressers reiterating his support for the core four and preaching patience… likening the leafs to the caps that took several years together to win… but there was no such talk today. For the first time, I think there is a glimmer of hope that there will be positive change. Just a glimmer though. I’ll believe it when I see it though.
Run Mitchy boy and Pajama Boy outta town. 1000% committed.... to getting their no trade clause waived.
The processors are processing the process.
As a Flames fan, this is what we got from Treliving for 9years "it's on him" So glad he is no longer in Calgary to be honest I don't even know how he got another GM job! Good luck Toronto
Vancouver went through the same process, it’s painless
The message or goal given by owners sounded very desperate. And too onesided . Wins dont come that way.
There are at least 5-6 better teams atm. Some will drop but not all. Some new will raise.
The promise given is to analyze what went wrong again. But it has gone that way long time. A quick turn around is difficult to make happen. Because other teams are so competitive.
But good luck. You need that a lot.
Sign Jussi Saaros 🇫🇮 for goalie. . Thats a good point to start, 'starting to win'.
this is better than MLSE uploaded video
The Leafs just announced Justin Bieber as their next head coach...
Just win means in the regular season so we can sell tickets not win a championship or he would have said all that matters is a Stanley cup
Pelly did mention the stanley cup. Just 1 time. But he did. He also mentioned win a championship. So there's that
What a crock. 1967, that was a life time ago. As the leaf ownership sells jerseys and tickets for over 50 years and next year will be different. Yeah, right. The Toronto's Women's Hockey Team has better odds of winning a title.
You can't succeed in the playoffs without secondary scoring, and scoring from unlikely sources, because your opponents are all keyed up to shut down your top guys. That, in hindsight, was the error in roster construction, believing that their top players had another level to reach, come playoffs.
Presser? Is that a lazy way of saying press conference?
So one more year of the Shanaplan and then he’s outta here……. So what I’m hearing in’s next year will be painful again.🤦🏽♂️ 2026 will be our year!🤣😂🤣😂
Shanahan should have left first, then Keefe. Treliving has nothing to do with the mess created before him and made great acquisitions. I have no idea why anyone would demand his job. Shanahan taking accountability is a reach for sympathy. Same with Keefe. We all know its the players not showing up when it counts. All manage.ent can do is build a team that looks good on paper. And they did.
Shanahan is accountable for Dubas and the bad cap working, but on paper this team should be making deep playoff runs. They just don't show up in the playoffs.
Way better audio. Hearing aid guy here in his 30s had them since i was a kid.
Keefe took responsibility. Why not them? They picked the team construction. Maybe they should swap with the Marlys. You can't coach uncoachables. Why did they throw so much money into 5 players.
In any sport it is ALWAYS the coach that gets the blame when most of the time it is management and or players that is the REAL problem. Toronto is not nor have they been built for the playoffs. Defense wins championships and cannot win cups due to management not spending the money where it matters. 1 goal was the difference in that last game and if Toronto had won, this conversation would not be happening yet.
Trade Marner.
I don’t think Marner will voluntarily waive his no trade. Which means either extend him - or wait till he’s an unrestricted free agent in July 2025 and let him walk for nothing. It may be the latter - but this is the result of giving all those players no trades… and not trading Marner before his no trade kicked in. He’s never been a superstar in the playoffs and now he wants 12x8 and he’s unmovable if he doesn’t want to go. The Leafs lost every one of those core four contract negotiations. I do have a feeling though that now with Pelley in town, Shanahan is down to his last chance. If it’s a first round exit again next May, Shanahan won’t be at the May 2025 presser. And they’ll be fawning over Shanny and what a great man he was, thanking him for his service, saying that it’s a hard business, and sometimes that means canning good people…. Yada, yada.
Say the responsibility is on me....the playoffs is on me. It's easy to say all this at press conferences is easy when your at a position of strength. It's all word salad. The president should have been fired and the coach.
Speech is easy ! Doing everything it takes to win is hard ! You will need to sacrifice your health and body to pass trough the tough play off against teams who going to war in the play off !
As long as you expected to cruise through the play off like you did in the regular season you will never win a series again in the play off again.
This year, it seams like a regression compare to last year. They stumble two years back.
why wouldn't any of you awful reporters ask specifically if the effort level was good enough. the players and coaches all said effort was there.
it clearly was not.
no accountability
How is constantly making the playoffs not acceptable? They went out in Game7. Just get a GOALIE already 😂 this Toronto media is unacceptable "just win" yall been winning! What do you really want!? Then build the right way for it instead of these i hope luck is on our side lineups.
They would rather be regular season pretty boys and rake in the cash than do the dirty work required to win championships
What a dumb response.. OF COURSE you should consider the failures of the last 10 years to be shanahans responsibility! Not sure this past season because you just joined the organization!
Need a real goalie. Idk if Gibson is the guy, maybe Binnington, but they need a guy who can carry them.
Stamkos to Toronto confirmed
Yall had Anderson 😢 That was the man an yall didn't protect him. (I'm with the Dallas Stars)
The ramblings of madmen
Booooooooooooo
Almost like they couldn't pass the mic quicker 😂 love my Leafs see how next season goes
Meh
Shanny is a Winner
Treliving is going to get themthere
Hahahahaha tell me what Treliving has done? Coming from a Flames fan. Good luck with Treliving
good news leafs lose early
cbc bailing on the internet
leafs loose early , rogers win$
corporate hoockey and no cbc
5 wasted seasons
57 wasted seasons but who is counting ? ;)
Why did they hire a golf guy to try and win a hockey championship?
Good, changes will be made now....the PP coach, has to go now....poor Keefe, scapegoat...he did a fine job. The PP did not score, 4 pylons on the ice for that last goal....none of this was Keefe's fault. You will be missed coach. Great things ahead for you.
What would have happened if Lou had stayed????I can tell you one thing Marner would have an 8 million dollar contract or he would have been traded....Just remember Steve Yzerman was 32 years old when he won his first Stanley Cup.....
Rosie DiManno is dumber than Forest Gump....
