Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

[dash]

TSN is carrying a Brian Burke presser tomorrow morning regarding his dismissal as Leafs GM. He isn't leaving the team officially (still a senior advisor). Talk about a ratings grab as well as satisfying a blowhard's ego.

Holy crap. Thanks for the info; I better PVR that.

And yet, if he says a bunch of moronic things (odds are he does), you'll be the first one back here reporting all about it.

TSN owns you. :ss:

I'm thinking he's going to announce he is leaving the leafs and joining the league office where he will form a truly dynamic management triumvirate with Mr. Bettman & Mr. Daley.

Think how much more lively the league press conferences will be....

 

[mattola]

well that was worth it lol. I didnt watch but here is the story

Burke points to lack of success for early dismissal

 

[mattola]

it would have been awesome if NO media showed up to show how much they disliked him for how he treated them

Coles Notes version:

"It would have been nice to get this notice before I went to Russia, but I didn't.
"I'd like to go work for a team that doesn't get sold next time."
"Maybe the new guys don't like that brand... I'm not changing... I'm Irish, I'm stubborn. Got to find someone who likes that brand."



"The best part of today is that I don't have to talk to you again Steve (Simmons)."
Burke goes out with his tie done up.

I thought for sure he was going to announce that he was taking his talents to South Beach.

On the state of the Leafs' goaltending:
"The good news is that's not my problem anymore. As of 48 hours ago, that's somebody else's problem."

Just watched the 11 min one on one with James Duthie the difference than the 16 mins? 5 less minutes and one luongo question he couldn't answer for tampering (wonder if he cringes on believing he doesn't tamper)
