Well, the Sharks finally did it. They let go of their Head Coach Ron Wilson. Some may ask why, especially after the season they had. They did make it to the second round of the playoffs and put up a hell of a fight in game 5, going into a fourth overtime. And honestly, although they got a slow start to the season, especially at home, they picked it up in the second half.
But, there are other factors that have to be observed. The Sharks have one of the best rosters in the NHL, theoretically, they should be dominating on all fronts. Why is it, that this team, can never make it past the second round of playoffs, that they have games where they seem like the don’t even want to play and why is it, that such a strong team, just can’t seem to get it together?
In the end, I think the one thing that has drug them down for so long is Wilson. Without a great coach, how can you expect to go anywhere? The fact of the matter is, that for the talent that the Sharks have, they should’ve had a much better season then they did, they should still be in the playoffs.
The decision to let Wilson go was a smart one. Although he has the most wins in the history of any other coach with the Sharks, he fails to get them motivated, and the Sharks always get out-coached in the playoffs.
