The Toronto Maple Leafs came away with a dramatic overtime win last night against the Devils, and Sheldon Keefe was all smiles and jokes in bizarre fashion. The Toronto Maple Leafs came back frenetically on Thursday night, with the team <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/new-jersey-devils-toronto-maple-leafs-game-recap-january-16' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>beating the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in overtime</a> at Scotiabank Arena. It was a bittersweet homecoming for Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/sheldon-keefe-returns-to-toronto-for-the-first-time-since-being-fired-and-truly-speaks-his-mind' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>his first since being let go by the Leafs last spring</a>. Chalk this one up as a game he very much wanted to win. <h3>Sheldon Keefe reveals he owed the Leafs some points</h3> But Keefe didn't let that linger post-game. According to <a href='https://x.com/lukefoxjukebox' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Sportsnet's Luke Fox</a>, he even quipped about coming up short against his old team, a testament to how close he truly does remain with the Maple Leafs organization. «Disappointed we don't leave with two points here, but, you know, I probably owe the Leafs an extra point.» - Sheldon Keefe <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/lukefoxjukebox/status/1880095052745306153'> </a></blockquote></div> Love him or hate him, Keefe is a total class act. He took over the Leafs' head coaching duties in November of 2019, replacing Mike Babcock, and wasted little time making his mark by becoming the second-fastest coach in NHL history to reach 200 career wins. Consistent playoff woes, with a 1-5 series record, eventually sealed his fate, though, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/toronto-maple-leafs-fire-head-coach-sheldon-keefe-after-playoff-exit' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>after being eliminated by the Boston Bruins last May</a> in Game 7. Leafs fans gave Keefe a warm reception at the game Thursday, like saying: hey, thanks for your work here. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/devilsfanatics/status/1880043504032006205'> </a></blockquote></div> Not even an overtime winner by William Nylander could fully dampen Keefe's mood as he smiled and joked around his team's tough loss afterward. He will always be loved in the city of Toronto.
