Wilson I think is a good coach but showed poor judgement that game. He should realize TML shooters couldn't score in a soccer net let alone in the tiny nets against the best atheletes in NHL. Bottom line for me is that changing goalie won't matter if you can't score in the shoot out.
On a side note, Patrick Marleau, the supposed best player of the Sharks was a non-show during the playoffs last year and was probably the predominant causative agent for Wilson's sacking.
As I said last year, Pens gave up a lot to rent Hossa at the trade deadline. One of the players Pens should have never traded was Colby Armstrong. Even though he was not a star he did a lot of goods for the Pens and was a good friend of Crosby. They should have kept him just for that.
