Now with a POLL! Is the Ron Wilson death watch on? (Possible player revolt?)

My apologies, but someone's got to stick up for the English language.

Pardon me, but I think you're missing a question mark after your first sentence.

I don't have a bias against Fisher. I think he gets misused and the PP is an example. WTF is he doing playing on the perimeter on the PP? Who should be that "net presence" on the PP creating traffic and obstructing the goalies view? Kovalev? Alfredsson? Spezza?

I bet you anything that's one of the things Clouston and staff highlighted. Fisher needs to be farting in the goalie's face - right up in his grill so he can't see anything.

And another thing. I would personally prepare his pre-game meal of egg salad sandwiches, baked beans, pickled herring and strong black coffee.

Will you read him his favorite Bible passages?

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that

Nice burn.

Ron Wilson might be losing his mind. I have never seen a coach be so unprofessional as I have seen him be this past week. Maybe Tortorella, but besides that, I haven't really seen anything like it in my days of watching hockey.

How can a coach call his team a bunch of losers to the media and the world and still be able to keep his job?

Is the Ron Wilson death watch on? I think it is.

I think at some point in the near future it is going to get to the point where the players themselves are going to try to get him run out of town. How can you try to dig yourself out of such a huge hole when your coach calls you a loser before your game.

Atta boy Wilson!

Just one of his quotes - take it as you will but this oozes unprofessional to me.

Asked yesterday by an Ottawa reporter if he had yet put his stamp on the Toronto team, Wilson said not yet.

"I don't want to be known as a loser," Wilson said. "And so far we've lost a lot more games than we've won."

To repeat: Wilson has no desire to be known as "a loser."

I don't know, but if I were a Leaf I'd have a very hard time getting my Dung together and trying to win a game when my coach is calling me and my team a loser.

Well, I think if the Leafs get embarrassed tonight, the death watch will indeed be on again.

I told you last night that they were going to the Olympics like one big happy family.

Wilson, Burke, Kessel and possibly Komisarek (which would be a mistake).

After the Olympics in the summer, then the bets are off. Right now - no way....

Burke death watch?

Burke would have to admit he was wrong though. I'm not sure he's ready to do that. Even if it means giving a division rival a sweet 1st round draft pick this season and next.

Well, his only "out" is that Wilson was there before he arrived... so he could hide behind that, although we're all pretty sure that Burke was pulling the strings at that time and pointed the Leafs in Wilson's direction before he was even there...

So, who knows.

Never thought of that actually. So after the Olympics it is then.

The one thing that Jason York said on the Healthy Scratches was that when things were going well, Wilson would joke around in practise tousle the hair of players etc... When they went bad, he wouldn't even acknowledge you.

That is weird and immature. Not good qualities in a coach....

The death watch is ON!!!

Olympics end on Feb. 28th, 2010... so March 1st, 2010 is the target date.

Tick, tock, tick, tock...

Need one of those "24" timer sound thingy's.

And a splitscreen of Jurke nervously drinking out of an empty foam cup, Napoleon Wilson yelling at his players and Schenn getting a beatdown.

Shangri-la.

HA HA HA! Epic.

If someone can find me code for a Count up widget I'll start it as of his Hiring date and put it on the main page. We can stop it when he gets fired.

Check this one... you can generate code for the countdown...

Here's the code for a countdown timer to March 1st, 2010 @ noon.

Code:

Too funny.

If he goes, I'll say he goes in mid-June, not with a month and a half to go in the season.
