Leafs extend commitment to mediocrity

SI.com is reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs have given Ron Wilson a contract extension.

Read and weep, Leaf Nation. Anybody who thought the recent sale of the Leafs by the Teachers Pension Plan was a sign of good things to come must be suicidal today. After all, you'd think that Rogers and Bell would have a vested interest in fielding a contender. All Teachers ever had an interest in is ROI. (That's return on investment for you Leaf fans who don't sit in the golds.)

Wilson is in the last year of a four year contract. His team has missed the playoffs under the first three years of his tutelage. He has a losing record overall.

And this is cause for a contract extension?

Assuming SI has its story straight, what this is, is more proof that it's the GM who needs to go.
