I hate Wilson

We not only have the "media factor" here in Toronto, we have the "Wilson factor"

2 good reasons why UFA's won't sign here.

It hurts seeing your favorite team on a list like that.

Is that Frans Neilson as most underrated with Eriksson?

Correct right after him is Sharp I think.

I should have clicked the link. But that's awesome.

Toronto showed up on teams most would not want to play on, but it was also 9th I think in terms of desirable places to play. I think our current place in the standings, and our coach are why we show up on the least desirable list.

Not many other NHL coaches actively call out your players post game and post practice, it works when you are winning for a while, but it gets old when your losing too. As I said in a previous post I know its Wilsons fault, but I also think he's surrounded himself with a lot of subpar talent in his assistants. I would love to bring on Boughner or Muller next year as a coach, I like Eakins too but still too early maybe, maybe as an assistant (but don't see how that'd help his career).
