[jstewismybastardson]

Dreger RIPPING into Burke on TSN TV. WOW

really? Whats Cousin Darren saying?

 

[forty_three]

"special advisor"

Translated: "We're going to keep paying him, so he doesn't sue us for firing him over the stupid thing we fired him for, really. He won't have to do anything.".

See: Ken Hitchcock / Columbus Blue Jackets

true ... Im sure he would contest the real reason for the firing if the pay cheques stopped being mailed

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I would retweet Damien Cox but he blocked me on twitter

he is saying Bell (TSN and Sportsnet) were in favour of a Luongo trade and Burke was resisting it

 

[blindbaby]

A bit surprised but certainly not shocked.

I think Nonis is a decent enough replacement. I'm still not convinced that Luongo is coming to the Buds; if he is, please make sure that there's nothing more than Kadri as the main piece of the deal.

Seriously?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Seriously?

yes ... Demon Cox doesnt take criticism well

/how happy is Gillis to hear that the owners of the Leafs (who consist of Pierre Lebrun & Darren Millard) want Luongo so desperately that they would fire the GM that opposes the deal

ka-ching

Dreger says Burke is FURIOUS at the firing. if he is why take the Advisor role?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Darren Dreger is a doofus clown.

don taylor mentions a Burke to Dallas rumour to re-unite with Tom Gaglardi



edit: almost forgot

FUCK DALLAS

Ian McIntyre from the Vancouver Sun:
"Burke has been playing hardball with the Canucks over Luongo and if it was anyone else in the Leafs organization pulling the trigger, the deal would have been done in the summer"

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Burke always liked the headlines, Looks like he got one before the season started.

he also went on to say he thinks its Kadri and Bozak in the deal

jonasTSN1050: Odd fact: Nazem Kadri was the only player Burke drafted in Toronto to play for the Leafs.

Or it could be part of the reason why he got canned

 

[flyersfan4706]

If it ends up being Kadri and Gardiner for Luongo, wow.

 

[BF4L]

I am kinda bummed. I mean the Leafs was our farm team for the most part..always willing to take players we did not want and hand over everything they had to get them.

Sad day for us Bruins fans

 

[puckhead]

important question... what is the state of Burke's necktie?
(no suicide jokes pls)

fuck this picture is awesome

this has always been my fave Burke picture. truculence personified

he also went on to say he thinks its Kadri and Bozak in the deal

I'd take that. kadri would make Raymond pretty expendable.

If it ends up being Kadri and Gardiner for Luongo, wow.

holy shitballs, I'd take that!
