from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,

The talent that surprised several opponents earlier this season is no longer getting the job done, according to head coach Ron Wilson. His team heads into its match against the Nashville Predators Tuesday night on a three-game slide and has dropped seven of nine outings.

“I know where our talent level is, and when you’re not blessed with a lot of talent there will be inconsistencies,” Wilson said.

This afternoon, Don Cherry was on Fan590 and did not think much of Wilson’s words.

Listen here...

This feud has been going on since the moment Wilson was hired by the Leafs.  I wonder what the next chapter will bring?

After reading Wilson’s comments and then listening to the interview, I don’t understand what the fuss is about. It just seems that the radio guys need something to talk about, and Cherry as per usual is grinding a personal-vendetta-axe.

Saying the talent level of your team is the reason for inconsistency, meaning that they need to battle and play hard in order to compete night in and night out, is a lot different than calling them the hacks the radio guys seem to think he did.

Don’t see anything offensive or untrue in Wilson’s statements, and the response seems like a hostile over-reaction from typical hostile, over-reactionary media personalities.

Yep Andrew and your response seems to be how many of the callers felt after hearing Cherry talk.  I was listening to the show and the vast majority were against Don.
