Burke Fired

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Folks, I removed the sleazy rumor stuff in the best interests of the site.

And I thought we were pretty reserved.

Doesn't cw know that sleaze sells?  Aren't we in a membership drive?

We've made the decision to not discuss players/personnel's personal lives on this site, particularly when it's just gossipy rumours. That's already been addressed in this thread, so lets leave it at that.

I'm happy Burke is gone. I am not going to pretend to know why, or how it went down. Anytime time there is a group of people making decisions there is going to be dissagreement.

Now I can get back to being a fan again.

You weren't a fan just because BB was the GM?

Not entirely, but I haven't liked the guy since he was in Vancouver. Bad hockey put a damper on it too. Also, missing the playoffs is getting old.

I've lost my blue tinted glasses somewhere, they'll turn up at some point, they always do.

I need to read some nutman posts.

Do you have a copy of the videotape "the Passion Returns" from 93? It always works for me.

Was that the one with :

Leafs are the best
Better then all the rest
From the east coast to the west
The Leafs are the best.

How can anyone forget that cheesy sing-a-long tune? Gilmour with all that hair.

They even fit in the playoffs into the same tune. 

The playoffs are here
Let's get it into high gear
Get rid of the fear
Because the playoffs are here

It's scary that I remember it. LOL

I had that cassette, we used to listen to the playoffs song before each playoff game that season.  That was the year they went to game 7 of the conference finals.  The pain.

Memory lane.  A bit of nostalgia.  Some day, I hope we can say "The Leafs are the Best" again!

I wonder if any of those kids are now disgruntled members of Leafs nation here on the board.

Has anyone heard what Burke is doing for MLSE ? The last I heard he was not sure what his new position entailed but that Anselmi said it was not hockey related.

I'm guessing zilch.

From Pierre LeBrun Twitter yesterday:
"Just chatted with Brian Burke who says after about a month of traveling engagements, he's going back to the rink. Will scout Marlies tomrw"

 

[sickbeast]

Do we have a reason yet as to why he was fired?  The way the team is playing, it's making it look as though he actually did a pretty good job, aside from Kessel.
