Turning Over New Leafs

Being sick is something that most, if not all, people wish to never actually be, unless it somehow fits a means to an end, not that I recommend it just to miss a day of school or work.  What does this have to do with today's subject?  Nothing directly, but clearly, this Maple Leafs fan speaks for the majority of the people when speaking of the team's recent slide.  In the last home game versus the Florida Panthers, the "Fire Wilson" chants could be heard throughout the Air Canada Centre, the Wilson being Ron Wilson, who as of yesterday, is now the former head coach of the Maple Leafs.  Replacing him is Randy Carlyle, late of the Anaheim Ducks.  Carlyle's hiring presents some interesting dynamics, including how he'll get along with Joffrey Lupul and whether or not he can get something out of Mike Komisarek.  Leafs fans are hungry for a winner, and while it may not happen this year, the coaching change gives fans a (false?) sense of hope.
