more wind from the bag this morning

A lot of heat on NewsTalk 1010's Moore in the Morning following John's interview with Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Burke Tuesday morning.

Burke discussed the team's chances of making the playoffs, firing of his long time friend Ron Wilson as well as Don Cherry's recent rant on coaches corner. But it was Moore's final question that seemed to have gotten under Burke's skin.

Moore asked about how secure Burke felt in his job considering the team's poor performance as of late, something that he called a cheap shot.

"That's up to ownership when the GM gets changed but I wish you'd tell me that off the air before you were gonna take a little swing on the way out but I guess that's what people in your line of work do," says Burke

When Moore responded saying that he wasn't taking a swing but asking about the possibility that a general manager could be changed when a team isn't performing well, Burke's response was very defensive.

"I think it's an ignorant question and a gutless one too," says Burke before hanging up on Moore.

At the risk of being repetitive, Burke sounds like a whiny little girl...

"I think it's an ignorant question and a gutless one too," says Burke before hanging up on Moore.[/I]

seems like a gutless non-answer?
how tough is it? "We expect to win, and it's disappointing at all levels when we don't. Ron paid the price for that, but the rest of the organization needs to be held accountable, from the players right on up to senior management"


boom, done.

all together now "Fiii-re Buuu-rke, Fiii-re Buuu-rke, Fiii-re Buuu-rke ..."

Yeah, he's overly sensitive, but, you know the media are just trying to see who can get his face to go the reddest.

...when idiots collide, I suppose.

yeah I know. but to post VAncouver for something toronto related is as pointless.

off topic point. I have a friend who is a high ranking RCMP officer and during the G20, the Olympics and the Stanley Cup Finals for Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton or any major event like this the RCMP set up airport blocks for professional rioters from other cities, countries etc... These people are on lists that when they land at any airport they get sent back. its quite the network.



fuck pro rioters come with hand books

Accused G20 plotter had 'training manual for activists,' court hears

HockeyCentral at Noon today - Doug Maclean said the following (paraphrasing):

"All the Leafs need are a No. 1 goalie, a No. 1 defensive defenseman, and a No. 1 center"

You got it.

Antii Niemi, Douglas Murray and Joe Thornton for the rights to Nik Kulemin, Tyler Bozak, Luke Schenn, the rights to Cody Franson, James Reimer and a 2nd Rounder in 2012.

Done!

LOL

It's in a roundabout way, like that Steve Martin skit, "I can make you a millionaire who doesn't have to pay tax".
