Very well written piece. I think Randy Carlyle will bring a system and get the most out of a under achieving bunch. Be interesting to see how guys like Colby Armstrong, Mike Komisarek and Cody Franson respond to Carlyle's system... Good job on the blog Greg... Mike C. Greg…

Thoughtful, articulate and, most importantly, accurate. Your edge among many of your peers is your ability to see the bigger picture and think outside the media's very small box. Good for you.

You take players who haven't played together, give then a couple weeks practice, and put them in a one loss and out competition against in which there are only 4 talented. teams at most - and you're making judgements on this? This is a fair way to evaluate coaches or players? Wilson only made it past the 2nd round 3 times in 18 seasons(Carlyle isn't any better). This gets you in the Hall of Fame? Maybe the Hall should raise its standards. Yes, yes he had over 600 wins in the regular season - which only means he could beat teams like the Oilers, Columbus, Islanders, etc... When he faced the better teams in the play-offs he was a bust. But we all have our favourites and blind spots. Keep up the good work on the radio. I must have written 10 emails to the Fan to put you on the morning show and replace Krystal. Your success is well deserved. Please stop mentioning Wilson’s international record – it means nothing.

I agree with about 98 per cent of what you've said and I think you've nailed it. I won't reiterate the whole thing but I also believe the team quit on Wilson but I think this move is coming about 2-4 weeks too late, at least. I was a big fan of making a change earlier and hopefully sparking the team and I like the idea of Carlyle getting the last 18 games with these guys going into next year. I'd disagree that Nabokov is 'average at best' and I believe those Sharks teams underachieved in the playoffs. Everything else I'd agree with, as well as this notion that many of Burke's roster moves have been suspect. Good job on your analyis. Excellent points in this blog, Greg.
