«Sheldon Keefe says it's out of his control, whether the Leafs management decides to bring him back next season or to dismiss him.»

«We are in a world where results matter and we did not get the expected ones. We did not achieve our goals. As the head coach, I take responsibility for that, » he said in front of journalists, before adding this:

«We took a step forward last year [by reaching the second round of the playoffs] as a group. I loved the determination we showed in that series [against the Bruins], especially during games number 5 and 6, to give us a chance to participate in game number 7. But clearly, it's not enough, and it sticks in my throat.» - Keefe, via TVA Sports
