"We're probably two or three pieces away"

[dash]

from being a true contender says Ron Wilson...I'd say Wilson is two or three steps away from the looney bin.

Leafs on verge of vying for Stanley Cup, Wilson says - The Globe and Mail

He's got a point.....

piece #1) - a 1981-82 version of Wayne Gretzky
piece #2) - 1988-89 Mario Lemieux
piece #3) - lets use the wayback machine for this one.... 1928-29 George Hainsworth.

Piece one an 4 line offense
Piece two 3 pairs of defense
Piece three a stellar goalie tandem

In other news, Paul Maurice called and says that Ron Wilson should stop stealing his material...

 

[elocomotive]

He was misquoted, here's what he actually said...

"We’re probably two or three pieces from being a true contender,” Wilson said during his final media address of the season. “But I’m talking a contender, not for the playoffs, I’m talking contender for the Stanley Cup.... Up, no wait, sorry, I misread that, guys. I meant from being a playoff team. Wooo... that was a close one."

Of course, the first piece of the puzzle is a new head coach for the Leafs...

 

[BostonAJ]

I am completely convinced that Wilson has compromising photos of Burke. It's like J. Edgar Hoover and the mafia all over again.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Wilson going to be joining Sheen's tour? "Duh. Losing."

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

After reading the article...yup, Ron Wilson is drinking the Tiger syrup.

 

[puckhead]

just need a convenient place to drop this....

 

[maddogmark25]

This is too easy...

Afterwards, Wilson saved NHL '11 dynasty, put his Xbox controller down and began fielding question about the real Leafs.

This thread should just be macro-repped.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Yep, and I'm about 10 correct picks away from winning the lottery.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Step one: Identify needs.

Step two: Notify press.

Step three: ??????

Step four: Profit!

Translation: I'm not sure we're as good as our second half run but I really need this job.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Do they really believe they have a shot at signing Brad Richards? Torts is in New York & they'll have the cap space. Good luck Burkie.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Didn't Richards say he didn't want to go to Toronto? I thought he insinuated it was either New York or Dallas for him.

There aren't a whole lot of big name free agents out there this year. It's a good year to be a GM if you need a goalie, but as far as skaters the UFA pool is grim.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

I think Wilson is saying that they need to sign Brian GIANTA
