Ron Wilson Jumped The Shark, Get It?

Since anyone and everyone that is or has been a coach in hockey at any level appears to be a candidate for the Colorado Avalanche head coaching position, add one more name: Ron Wilson.

The Sharks just canned him.

Ron Wilson is a good coach, but he's also aggressive and belligerent (if the reports are true) and he's a notorious choker in the playoffs. I have a feeling he won't quite top Pat Burns in the "who would you rather metaphorically make out with" competition being held among all the hot coaches currently on the market.

ADDENDUM: Also in the news, this from the World Wide Leader in Sports:

The Flyers are losing so bad they're beating themselves.

Damn you Fonz

You know, Wilson would have never been fired if Roenick remembered his NHL 94' self.

Marleau

Roenick didn't have a half bad playoffs, he was damn near the only one on that team and stood up to lead. Marleau is like Hedjuk and disappears for long stretches, Thornton wasn't half bad. At this stage in his career I think SJ got a big bang for the buck in Roenick..... and I hate that schmuck :)
