Burke fired~!!! (Update - Rehired as a scout in Anaheim)

[jstewismybastardson]

weird thing I noticed (maybe Im wrong)

seems like all the rogers owned media are saying the "pending" Luongo trade was a big reason that Burke was fired

meanwhile

all the Bell owned media are saying the "pending" Luongo trade had nothing to do with Burkes firing

I think Jay Onrait pulled the trigger and fired Burke

called it

Well, at least we would know now that he's truculent.

TSNBobMcKenzie: There is, no doubt, going to be considerable talk about whether Wayne Gretzky could become president of Toronto Maple Leafs.

Well why not, he did a fine job behind the bench in Phoenix...

Gretzky for President, Paulina for GM - I'm sure she's a good judge of hockey talent.

President is pretty much just a figurehead; about as relevant to hockey operations as the English monarcy is to English government.

I'd have no problem with Wayne being president.....as long as he's never anything other than president.

wow a canucks corner thread made it into that (but its deleted now) burke is a bully everywhere.

Burkes a fucking tool and I'm certainly glad he's out Toronto. That said, I don't blame him for launching a law suit. You can't just print shit like that up with no consequence. You could ruin a persons career with that nonsense.
