Wilson Fired

Darn - wrong Wilson.

The Ottawa Senators have relieved goaltending coach Eli Wilson of his duties, the club announced on Wednesday.

Wilson, 32, had been with the club since before the 2007-08 season.

Nice to see Roberto Luongo is in playoff form tonight in St. Paul.

Nice to see he $h!t the bed for me this week when I'm trying to run down the league leader for the $125 regular season crown...

My team has been a roll after starting out awful but it will all go for not if I lose this week and I'll have pretty much no shot at catching the leader with only three more weeks to the playoffs.

You say that like it is a bad thing

John Scott murdered someone

And so that all the Canucks had a front row seat:

That might be the single most brutal hockey fight I've ever witnessed in person.

Scott tried to let up half way through, but Bulduc swung again and the rest he probably won't remember

The best part is Gorg describing how the whole second period Scott would look at the Canucks bench basically saying "If any of you cowards want me I am here for the taking" and boy did he!

I was there too. And yes it was awesome. But it was only the second most brutal hockey fight I've ever seen in person. Coincidentally, the most brutal was also involving John Scott, when he pounded the Ryan Hale, from the Sioux, to a bloody pulp. Literally a puddle of blood on the ice.

Obviously John Scott must have been gooning it up, attacking defenseless Sue players for no good reason because we all know that the Sue are as pure as the driven snow

Yeah, those 28 year-old Canadians are real angels.

 

[Slap Shot]

I know that dude asked for it, but I hate seeing someone get rocked to the head like that. Especially after hearing that Booggard said the guy that fought him told Boogie that the Yucks coach told them to start fights. I suggest next time sending someone out that knows how or maybe avoid Boogie and Scott.

Re: 2009-2010 NHL Season Thread 2: Its all going up in flames!

Muwuhahahahah. Good old Ronnie-poo.

The news is not good!

Brian Burke will not — repeat, not — be firing coach Ron Wilson any time soon.

He is not even considering it. And he gets angry when it is even suggested.

Oh well, at least some one other than we fans is getting angry!

I said Wilson probably wouldn't get canned before the Olympics and others agree:

The only time Brian Burke fired a coach in mid-season came when he called the first 45 games of the 1998-99 season “an unmitigated disaster.”

The coach was Mike Keenan. The team was the Vancouver Canucks. The disaster came from 15 wins in 45 games, and a divided team going nowhere.

Fast forward to today, as the Maple Leafs ready for their 48th game of this unmitigated disaster of a season.

Coach Ron Wilson has 15 wins. His team, depending on who you talk to, and certainly evident by its choppy play on the ice, is divided, showing few tangible signs of improvement and almost certainly going nowhere.

But Burke won’t even consider the matter of firing Wilson. That is a non-starter with him. He is adamant coaching is not the Leafs’ problem. He won’t address the coaching status, except to say it won’t change.

But some NHL insiders will tell you that even if Burke wanted to sack Wilson, he couldn’t possibly fire the U.S. Olympic hockey coach with less than a month to go to the Vancouver Games.

“How do you sell that to Americans?” a U.S.-based hockey man asked Wednesday. “What do you say? We have the best coach possible for Team USA but he’s not the right coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs?”

I'm still puzzled why Scott had to wait until the linesman was holding Hale to pound him thus allowing Hale to become a bloody pulp. Scott obviously could've pounded Hale without any help,

Ég veit að spjátrungur beðið um það, en ég hata að sjá einhver fá rocked á höfuðið svona. Sérstaklega eftir að heyra að Booggard sagði gaurinn sem barðist hann sagði Boogie að Yucks þjálfari sagði þeim að byrja bardagi. ÉG stinga upp á næsta skipti að senda einhver út sem veit hvernig eða ef til vill að forðast Boogie og Scott. [/ Quote]

I agree.

IIRC poor John Scott hurt his hand in that one too, another victim of a senseless halo injury.

Good night -- my Leafs actually looked like a hockey team, Tyler Bozak scored a highlight reel goal for his 1st NHL score, and Neil Peart gives a new sound to the Hockey Theme.

**** -- why won't TSN allow embedded links for US viewers??
