Thread: Brian Burke fired

Going into tank-mode when tank-mode no longer guarantees a #1 pick, is SOOOO Toronto Maple Leafs.

They realized he was about to trade for Luongo and decided to make their move before he could make his.

"There must be more to this Burke firing" = "We've all heard rumors about Burke we can't report and we'll just assume they're true now."

"Not very often I'm at a loss for words, but today I am," McKenzie said.

Timing of Burke dismissal very odd. He and all brass were at Marlies game last night in Hamilton. Truth will surface. Something fishy.

Interesting... Must be more behind this than the usual Maple Leafs incompetence right?

Burke going to the Ted Nolan school of dating or something?
