McLellan made some noticeably bad decisions with his 4th line taking so many offensive zone draws in the LA series. Instead of letting Niemi close out the Kings, he went to Stalock for game 6.
Vlasic going down probably hurt the Sharks the most. I'm not a big fan of firing a coaching staff when they make the playoffs, especially with home ice advantage.
It's likely the best move to keep Wilson and the coaches.
