One of those awkward moments in sports will take place tonight in San Jose. Ron Wilson will return to the Shark Tank.

"I've got to be better, I've got to keep the game close," said Joseph, once again denied his 450th NHL win. — Toronto Sun There's a big, big problem in goal in Toronto, one that's deciding a lot of games (in the wrong direction) for the team.

D-plus Say this for the Leafs, they never quit. A new, younger lineup has produced a different style of hockey on the ice under new coach Ron Wilson. Too often, though, the results are the same, and that means not enough victories. The normally reliable Vesa Toskala has been too ordinary too often for the Leafs to think playoffs and it is a rare night they don't fall behind by a couple of goals early...

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, ... while Leafs coach Ron Wilson said he did not expect Colaiacovo’s ailment to be an issue, watching the defenceman limping around suggested otherwise.... Acknowledging that Colaiacovo was en route to having X-rays taken, Wilson suggested that Colaiacovo’s injury-plagued history is related to less-than-ideal physical conditioning. “The big thing with Carlo...

from Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail, Wilson is a modernist, in the way he applies technology and statistical analysis to the game of hockey, and he is a traditionalist, in the way he believes his players ought to feel a special responsibility donning the uniform. He does not suffer fools, he is expansive in conversation, he is confident of being the smartest guy in most rooms (or at very least,...

Toronto worked their BALLS OFF, and frankly deserved to win this game… Ron Wilson.. you can coach my team any day sir!

Well, the Leafs are the Yankees of hockey . Congrats to Lynn Zinser for researching how to write a proper article on the Leafs. When you get a bit better you learn how to sneak in 1967 later on in the article to surprise us. Speaking...
