I KNOW THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS ARE ONE OF THE MOST STORIED FRANCHISES IN THE HISTORY OF THE N.H.L.,BUT COULD THEY POSSIBLY BE STUPID ENOUGH TO HIRE RON WILSON AS THEIR NEXT COACH?...KNOWING THEM...YEAH,I GUESS...I'M AWARE OF HIS RECORD,I'M AWARE HE MADE IT TO THE FINALS ONCE BACK IN '96 I THINK,BUT THE GUY POSITIVELY CAN'T STAND THE MEDIA...ESPECIALLY THE CANADIAN MEDIA...HE'S MADE THAT QUITE CLEAR ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS...HE DOESN'T LIKE BEING NORTH OF THE BORDER,ABOUT AS ANTI-CANADIAN AS YOU CAN GET(WITHOUT ACTUALLY COMING OUT AND SAYING IT OF COURSE)...SO HEY,COME AND COACH HOCKEY IN A CITY WHERE IT ACTUALLY MATTERS TO FANS...PROBLEM IS RON,THE MEDIA IN TORONTO IS A 1000 TIMES MORE INTENSE FOR THE SPORT,UNLIKE THE 2 BEAT REPORTERS THAT WRITE A 5 LINE REVIEW OF A SHARKS GAME BACK ON PAGE 64 TUCKED AWAY IN THE BOTTOM CORNER. HE LIKELY WON'T TAKE IT,HE SHOULDN'T TAKE IT,WILSON DOESN'T PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS...WITH HIS ATTITUDE,THE MEDIA IN TORONTO WILL EAT HIM ALIVE...ALTHOUGH IF HE GOES THERE,IT WILL BE FUN TO WATCH.
BUT PLEASE DON'T...AND STAY AWAY FROM OTTAWA TOO...GO TO TAMPA,WITH TORTARELLA GONE THEY WOULDN'T MISS A BEAT WITH HIM THERE.
