It would seem we the fans know nothing about coaching and what a bad coached team looks like to us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Ron Wilson won't be fired.
Leafs GM Brian Burke backed his coach — yet again — despite boos raining down from the Air Canada Centre during a 5-0 loss to Edmonton and fans chanting “Fire Wilson.”
“No coaching change,” Burke told TSN, which repeated the comment on Twitter.
The whole Twitter universe seemed to be talking about Wilson — the topic was trending in Canada — with fans weighing in on their opinion.
“If it was ANY other team in the NHL, the coach would be gone. Because his name is Ron Wilson, he stays,” tweeted @andrewrizzi.
“So if it isn't Ron Wilson's fault, then it's Brian Burkes. No ifs, ands, or buts about it,” said @BrianHuddle.
Wilson had his defenders.
“We're not big Ron Wilson fans. Still, how can fans say #Leafs have no talent, then say fire Wilson. If he's given no talent, he can't win,” tweeted @theSportsJesters.
Twitter only echoed Toronto’s angry fans wallowing in hopelessness.
Up next, the Boston Bruins are here Saturday with Tyler Seguin — the No. 2 overall pick the Leafs could have had last season if not for the Kessel deal. The booing was vociferous against the Oilers but imagine the soundtrack to Saturday’s game if the Bruins win and Seguin pops a goal or two.
After that, the Leafs face Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin in consecutive games on a road trip through Pittsburgh and Washington. Then they’re home to face Philadelphia and Montreal.
