The Toronto Maple Leafs coach has recently made some lineup decisions that are less than ideal.
For example, Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe healthy scratched Timothy Liljegren, arguably the team’s best statistical defenseman over the past two years, when the team acquired several new defenders at the trade deadline.
Despite winning 60% of his minutes over a two-year sample, Liljegren was healthy scratched, and has looked lost and confused at times since rejoining the team. This is likely because he was very confused about how such a consistently good performance wasn’t good enough for his coach, and subsequently suffered a crisis of confidence.
