Wilson has just not worked for our team. Heres a list of the players hes had problems with Kaberle, Kessel,Kris Ver etc. There are more on this team that dont like him not to mention other players around the league. He had his chance but hes not a good coach with young players. In San Jose he had a great team that made him look good. Get rid of him they will if he fails at beginning of season. If they dont that will be Burkes fault. As for Burke he done a great job and will make a big move this off season WATCH.

*single tear*

Perhaps what prevented it being published was the writing, rather than the content.

Like I said, his winning at the end of the year comes from good goaltending.

Toskala, Gustavsson, and Giguere had 89% Save Perecentages and 2.9-3.4 GAA???

How can ANY coach expect to win with these numbers/

All Reimer has given Wilson is solid goaltending. Average numbers. And look at Reimer's record....20-8-4. That's INCREDIBLE for a Leafs goalie.

Solid play at net has been the key

I tried one about the Yotes about a week back. At the time it said there was 12 articles in line already so I thought maybe it was just taking some time to get through. But I guess not. Perhaps it just wasn't a very good article. LOL

did you try and post an article about that?

It would seem that to get an article posted on here it has to be Leafs related. Don't try posting an article on Winnipeg possibly getting a team back, be it either the Yotes or the Thrashers because that's not going to fly.

thanks for posting this cam. Interesting stats for sure.

I personally like Wilson. What a lot of leafs nation calls 'arrogance' I see as irreverence. Sure, he can be snide, rude, and even mean with the media but I like how much he doesn't give a ***** what other people think of him. Burke-esque.

When I watch his interviews I actually get a kick out of them. He's telling off reporters, making fun of them, etc. I find it extremely entertaining.

I respect him and I think his players do too. Not a 'best friend' 'big brother' kind of coach - he's an old school tough man who has tonnes of experience. He's seen it all, he knows the subtleties of the game and the little building blocks that lead to a winning game. He's coached his way into enough wins to recognize the anatomy of a WIN. I truly, truly trust his judgment.

I'm sure there are many Wilson haters on this website, just as there are every where in Leaf Nation. However, I think you guys should check out this little statistical analysis for Wilson, and his first 2 years in Toronto. It's not comprehensive, or conclusive, but there are some interesting numbers, for sure:
