Sure, if you get a prize for making the playoffs. The Leafs have blown series, lost to better teams, lost to worst teams, and have scored 2 or less goals in what, 11 of their last 12 playoffs games?
That is not a successful team, and as we've seen time and time again, it's easier to fire the coach then your players who aren't performing. Plus, it was widely accepted that if the Leafs failed again this year, Keefe was getting canned.
If anyone is surprised, it's because they were not paying attention.
