It was announced just a few hours ago but the Sharks coach, Ron Wilson, was fired today.

I guess it was about time. When a team is that good, but they can't get over the hump, the coach usually goes. What do you think? Excited about a new coach?

 i liked him as a coach but you could kind of see this coming. Good decision though. Can't wait forever to at least get to the cup. i didnt dislike him personally as i did sutter, i respect wilson, but dump and chase isnt going to win the cup. we need to have the forwards start carrying the line, they'll score more flashy goals and wont look inexperienced and retarded on breakaways and in shootouts.

Also, he had some sort of friction with Marleau, didn't he?
