God those predictions are so boring Solo, it's a 48 game season, just throw the teams in a hat and call it like it is!

 

[yankeehater]

You'll also start talking and thinking about Burke more than actual hockey. You'll defend him when he's GM for four years but never acquires a good goaltender. And you may even turn your bathroom into a miniature shrine to him.

Hey it hard to get a good goalie dammit!!!

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Hey it hard to get a good goalie dammit!!!

Seconded.

 

[Solo]

BTW, lost in the Burkaton:

THE 9 GAME TRYOUT FOR JUNIOR PLAYERS HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 5 GAMES THIS SHORT SEASON

As per MacKenzie.

 

[DopeyFish]

Darren dreger thinks something is amiss

Burke was with leafs brass at marlies game yesterday

It's still so fucking random

 

[Beez]

Wherever he ends up, the fans of the city may use this without any copyright infringement.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Maybe they don't like his $6 million dollar salary D:

 

[Foil]

Wouldn't be a new NHL season without the Leafs being a hilarious joke.

The timing of this is bizarre. Sometimes I wonder why I cheer for this franchise.

 

[KernelPanic]

Darren dreger thinks something is amiss

It's still so fucking MLSE

Fixed.

For all you know you'll miss OTPP in the not too distant future.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

LOL.

I heard Keenan was looking for work.

 

[lupinko]

Is he actually fired or is it some sort of Shyamalalalan twist?

 

[BigJonsson]

Eklund to the Leafs (e4)

 

[Solo]

JFJ IS BEING GROOMED FOR A SECOND GO-AROUND. "DIDN'T GET A FAIR CRACK AT THINGS THE FIRST TIME" WAS THE EXACT PHRASE USED BY A SOURCE (E5).

 

[lupinko]

Isn't Cliff Fletcher still with the team?

Draft schamft.

 

[Merguson]

Is he actually fired or is it some sort of Shyamalalalan twist?

Maybe something that surfaced that had to call for the immediate firing of Brian Burke?

 

[Marvie_3]

Probably got into an argument over where to eat after the game.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Nonis does all the good work anyway.

You Can Play funded entirely by the sale of unlicensed Kessel blow up dolls?

Radio is going wild right now. The media is free to now question Carlyle being there (rightly so) because of the inevitable Lupul/Kessel/every player that will not like him.

 

[Solo]

Toronto 2012-2013 :: Montreal 2011-2012?

Is such a thing even possible?

Yes, it is. Storm's coming, Leafs fans.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Sounds like Lebrun is going to cry.

Seriously

Fire everyone

Don't allow holdovers like fucking Ron Wilson

Just bomb every position from orbit

 

[Merguson]

Apparently the decision was made this morning.

"What do we do now?"

"I'm bored"

"I know! Let's have some fun! Let's fire someone."

"Shit that'll be awesome... who?"

"Bryan Colangelo?"

"Nah.. that would be expected.. too boring."

"Brian Burke?"

"Shit I could browse hfboards all day for the aftermath.. let's do it"

 

[Quick]

Is he actually fired or is it some sort of Shyamalalalan twist?

Only other thing I can imagine is the Leafs actually promoting him. Which wouldn't be bad, actually.

 

[Beez]

Brian Burke #1 trending topic on Twitter!!!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Sounds like Lebrun is going to cry.

haha yeah what's with that.

 

[lupinko]

Toronto 2012-2013 :: Montreal 2011-2012?

Yes, it is. Storm's coming, Leafs fans.

The Habs have a pedigree of rebounding and doing well, the Loafs notso much.

Haha definitely. Was definitely an out of nowhere decision. Burke was on his way to New York for the CBA stuff.

 

[Solo]

haha yeah what's with that.

Manbaby Leafs fan.

 

[RC]

Great. Now we'll never get rid of Luongo. Or will we?

 

[Solo]

Great. Now we'll never get rid of Luongo. Or will we?

Nope.

 

[Kave_Man]

Jay Onrait:

I think more Canadian sports media people would be chirping new MLSE owners for Burke firing if they didn't all work for those same owners.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

so who are they going to hire to bring in Luongo?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

 

[Cake Boss]

haha yeah what's with that.

Manbaby liked his manbaby GM.

Edit: damn it Solo.

 

[DopeyFish]

Seriously

Letting Burke go and keeping colangelo shows how fucking stupid this organization can be

 

[Solo]

Oh man, I'm fucking rock hard right now waiting for January 19. Someone needs to call a physician on that day - a 240 hour erection can't be good.

 

[Beez]

Seriously

Letting Burke go and keeping colangelo shows how fucking stupid this organization can be

Nobody cares about the Raptors, or at least my dad says *shrugs*

 

[BigJonsson]

Seriously

Letting Burke go and keeping colangelo shows how fucking stupid this organization can be

And TFC's new coach being under contract to an English soccer team until May....the MLS season starts in March

As Tim and Sid said yesterday, "That's so TFC"

 

[Cake Boss]

Isn't Colangelo in the playoff race?

Plus Calengelo doesn't have fudes with the media and keeps his mouth shut, probably a big factor for a Media and telecommunication company.

 

[Kave_Man]

Seriously

Real talk right here.

Fuck man, FUCK!

 

[KernelPanic]

so who are they going to hire to bring in Luongo?

Leafs have like 6 GMs besides Burke. Whichever is willing to say "how high ?" when MLSE says "jump" gets the job.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Says the guy who doesn't care this year.....

The peins mightier.

The Solo twist!

The Raptors haven't made the playoffs in like 5 years. They're 10 games under right now, even.

 

[Kave_Man]

Here comes the fans on TSN 1050.

This should be good.

 

[yankeehater]

Everybody is in the playoff race in the NBA for the first few months. In the end only like 3 teams have any real chance to win though.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Dave Nonis is the next GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Unclear whether that is interim or unconditional appointment.

Surprise surprise
