DeBoer is not the problem.

YES YES YES. I love you Doug

Well it was offensive to watch his team play hockey this year.

 

[Turin]

I think he’s a decent coach, probably ran out of time in San Jose as much as anything.

He looked so dumb in the Road to the Cup in 16 though. That’s like all I remember of him. “Well, we just haven’t ****ing played our f***ing A game” over and over again, as if his team wasn’t just getting soundly beat.

Great day for Sharks fans. Sad day for fans of other Pacific Division teams.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Haha, a hockey decision nothing else is the reason. But I think DeBoer finds work quickly, either takes the year off or a team picks him up very shortly.

So much for my prediction of Maurice being fired first, it's been Babcock, Peters, Hynes, Montgomery and now DeBoer. Can't think of the last time this has happened before the new year.

I’m stuffing my face full of crow after saying he wouldn’t be fired this season, and I couldn’t be happier about it!

 

[Nick Hansen]

He's a good coach but seems to have a short shelf life. Probably not the best fit for such a skilled team as the SJ either. Kind of reminds me of Torts.

 

[Just Linda]

Wowza. Did not see this coming so soon

Babcock to SJ?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

When is Doug Wilson getting the axe?

 

[topshelf15]

Had to be done ,team wasnt doing much of anything with him coaching

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Damn. Was hoping he'd be coach of San Jose forever

 

[The Pale King]

Babcock and Marleau reunited perhaps??

 

[greasysnapper]

He wasn't the issue. He's a really good coach, we'll see him get a job here in the next year.

 

[Hobocop]

Lot of people are going to point to us getting to the Western semis last season and be surprised.

This is so overdue. Sharks have look stale and uninspired for a long time now. His system was just not working anymore.

 

[lottster14]

nice

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

Is it some good news for a Brent Burns fantasy owner. ?

 

[Jussi]

Unconfirmed rumor that he jumped over a shark.

 

[Theodore450]

Doug Wilson is my favourite gm

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

That Detroit losing streak is firing coach all over the league! That's the fourth one.

SJ is one of those teams that everyone is still kinda penciling in for the playoffs. Them and Tampa. Will be interesting to see if this sparks something. They’re a goalie away imo
