Ron Wilson after four seasons of telling everybody he was a great coach but his record said a different story with 130 wins, 135 losses, and 45 overtime losses and did not get any higher than fourth in the north east division. So especially after the fans chanted "fire Wilson" in the third period of the Florida Panthers game it is a good idea but then U see that Randy Carlyle, who is the new head coach of the Leafs, is a buddy of Brian Burke so things really may not change a lot because it is another inside job. Carlyle who won a Stanley Cup with Burke in Anaheim in the '06-'07 season and has a .529 winning% and maybe he give a different voice to the room and they could roll off like four or five wins in a row to get themselves back into the playoffs but I believe Dallas Eakins should be the next coach of the Leafs after doing a good job with the Leafs prospects when they were with the Marlies. He would be a good coach for a Leafs team that is one of the youngest teams in the NHL and if the Leafs can get hot they could pass teams like the Panthers and Sabres along Capitals and get into the eighth spot and if the Senators fall a little they could get into seventh.
No matter what I hope this chances the Leafs chances to make the Playoffs
