8. Ron Wilson - Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs
After a Stanley Cup appearance in his first season with the Washington Capitals, Wilson was never able to recapture the magic he had in 1998. His final season in Washington coincided with Jaromir Jagr's(notes) arrival in D.C. After back-to-back Southeast Division titles, the Caps missed the playoffs in 2001-02 and Wilson was given his pink slip. Rebounding with San Jose the following season, Wilson took the Sharks to the playoffs four years in a row, including a trip to the Western Conference finals in 2004, and won the Pacific Division twice. Wilson is the winningest coach in Sharks history with 206 victories and has the third most wins among NHL coaches this decade with 367.
Puck Daddy's Top 10 List looks at the best coaches of the decade and the Leafs' Ron Wilson ranks 8th. Quite the impressive list and it's hard to argue with the top man.

Maurice called a time out. He’ll make the list in about 30 seconds…

The Duster
Quenneville never fails to intimidate the hell out of me. That photo from Puck Daddy did it again.
As for Paul, I’m sure he forced quite the angry face when he read he didn’t crack that list.
