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

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:



<script type="text/javascript">

// Author: ricocheting.com
// For: public release (freeware)
// Date: 4/24/2003 (update: 5/15/2009)
// Description: displays the amount of time until the "dateFuture" entered below.


// NOTE: the month entered must be one less than current month. ie; 0=January, 11=December
// NOTE: the hour is in 24 hour format. 0=12am, 15=3pm etc
// format: dateFuture = new Date(year,month-1,day,hour,min,sec)
// example: dateFuture = new Date(2003,03,26,14,15,00) = April 26, 2003 - 2:15:00 pm

dateFuture = new Date(2010,2,1,24,00,00);

// TESTING: comment out the line below to print out the "dateFuture" for testing purposes
http://document.write(dateFuture +"<br />");

//nothing beyond this point
function GetCount(){

    dateNow = new Date();                                    //grab current date
    amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();        //calc milliseconds between dates
    delete dateNow;

    // time is already past
    if(amount < 0){
        document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Now!";
    }
    // date is still good
    else{
        days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";

        amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs

        days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
        amount=amount%86400;

        hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
        amount=amount%3600;

        mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
        amount=amount%60;

        secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds

        if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}

    }
}

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.

I hear a poll calling... with the months in which Ron Wilson will be fired... and an option for him not being fired.

I don't believe he will be fired, but I hear that Burke might waive some players, and/or trades might happen. Maybe he'll trade his firs... er...

Maybe they'll finish last place and get a high firs.... er...

Will do.

Heh heh.

Or the second.... er....

Burke said that he'd have no problem sending high prriced players down and bringing up youth... we'll see if he actually follows through with that. Doubt it, but you never know.

Oh...my poll didn't work.

They don't have all that many prospects, at least ones with high potential, but I guess you never know. Some team might get a real nice gift if they were to claim a Blake, or Stajan, or whomever off re-entry.

Burke could recall Kadri, Didomenico, Stahlberg and it still won't make a difference to the team. He's an awful GM and the fans are starting to see what they were better off without.

Holy Poly?

Though to even guess where this dysfunctional team is headed. The delusions of grandeur from management and fans alike are a source of amusement, though.

Pens in 5.

Put me down for March 1st... immediately after the Olympics.

I'll vote for March. He's going to get so angry at his team that he'll say something that he can't take back and that Burke can't ignore.

Unless they do a credible job of pulling up their socks, Wilson is not long for this team

A chef can only cook with the ingredients in his kitchen.

Wilson will last well into next season as the Leafs have a chance to reshape in free agency next summer. I also don't think they will finish in the bottom five. The Leafs have been great for years once they are eliminated from playoff contention.

What would be actually funny is Winlson and Burke fired on Draft day right after BOston selects Tyler Seguin
