J529 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/10932950/san-jose-sharks-keep-gm-ron-wilson-coach-todd-mclellan SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San Jose Sharks are bringing back coach Todd McLellan and general manager Doug Wilson for another season. Owner Hasso Plattner issued a statement Wednesday saying he was disappointed with the way the season finished but that he supports Wilson's recommendation to keep McLellan. The Sharks lost the final four games of a seven-game series in the first round of the playoffs against Los Angeles. They became the fourth NHL team ever to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. The Sharks managed only two goals in the final three games in the latest playoff disappointment for a franchise that has the second-most points in the regular season the past 10 seasons but is still looking for its first Stanley Cup appearance.

DeNiro Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Haha, so just continue on the same path of failure? How many years can they choke and still pretend to be contenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niklas Jensen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 good on them for not taking the easy route and firing the coach. They do realize their team is not a team built for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Coach wasbt the issue deniro. Its no show joe Yea, but it's like with the Canucks. No personnel could be changed under AV so you fire the coach. How you can sell the fans on being a contender again with the exact same formula that has failed for the last 5 years is kind of funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Good for the Sharks...Good for Todd..I think he would have been the perfect coach for the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Just because the owner support's Wilson's recommendation to keep McLellan, doesn't necessarily mean he'll keep Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Are they trying to avoid being a Vancouver? We couldn't move our players so coaching staff had to go, twice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Haha, so just continue on the same path of failure? How many years can they choke and still pretend to be contenders?They have around 2-3 more chokes left I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ferguson Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Bad move here, coach is great but do they really not see that SJ is only good as a regular season team? The only new faces to come out there so far has been couture and Hertl, otherwise the core is stale. Consistent playoff chokes like that should be cause for a new GM.
