We talked about canning him in the podcast and at the time (two weeks ago...) I still felt like Wilson didn't have a lot of talent around him. Two weeks and no points later I think I'm ok with him getting the boot. Look at our topics 1. Ron Wilson's job 2. This cold streak 3. Trade targets 4. Tim Connolly 5. The possible meltdown if the Leafs miss the playoffs. Possible meltdown?
