Hello Brian Burke.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

odd timing

odd timing

No kidding (why not wait until after Xmas at least).

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I guess Burke wanted to fire them before his self imposed Christmas player/manager transaction freeze

because ya know ... letting personnel go a week before Christmas is plain scroogelike

but

2 weeks???

much much better

Hey Bob Hartley, don't get too comfortable...

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Sooo.... does Brian Burke follow rebuilds around or vice versa?

 

[Cobiemonster]

I don't think anyone should feel comfortable in Calgary right now

I can understand Feaster, but really surprised about Weisbrod, the last few Flames drafts have been pretty solid in my opinion and the cupboards are being re-stocked with some good prospects. Also, I sure don't want Ron Wilson as coach of the Flames.

i think its a case where ... "things look to be turning in a positive future direction and BOOM ... Im in charge now"

I can't believe Greg Sherman technically outlasted Jay Feaster.

Brian Burke is not a background type of guy - Never has been, never will be. Here comes truculence, belligerence, testosterone, and pugnacity.

/Presser at 10 am Pacific time.

Do the advanced stats guys keep numbers on gm's? If so, I wonder how Feaster's looked.

Who knew that the voiceover on Iggy's tribute video would be the last thing of substance that Feaster did?

statsnerds also saying feasters LDL was off the charts

reminds me of a great Pavarotti quote ... "To be a man of substance ... you must be substantial"

Speculation that Darcy Regier may be coming in as new Flames GM - Please god no.
