The guys have clearly stopped playing for Wilson and his system. He made some very bad line changes in the Chicago game which resulted in some goals. Switching coaches at this point in the season is useless though. We need a young coach who will grow with these players. Dallas Eakins of the Marlies has done a tremendous job this year and I think he deserves a shot.

Ottawa is a perfect example of what a good coach / coach change can do. The talent on Ottawa isn't THAT phenominal and even Melnyk said he was suprised by their performance.

Burke gave Wilson a year contract extension as severance pay pretty much. I know he won't be coach next season. We can write this season off again. Starting in February, the Leafs had to stay at least .500 to make the playoffs. They would have to pretty much win close to all the games remaining now. No chance.
