So the Axe falls.

So as is typical Burke has to lay at least some of the blame on Wilson being fired on other shoulders. Just like the goaltender graveyard in vancouver, leaf fans are partially responsible with how they treated Wilson the last little while.

What he meant to say was "I'd like to thank Leafs fans for making this easy" but just in a more PC way.

Jeez man, I knew BB likes to go with those he knows...do think the Leafs will make a pitch for Cory too?

[tantalum]

Of course he'll make a pitch for SChneider and then when Gillis trades him to Tampa for a much better package Burke will be incredulous and express outrage on how an unproven goaltender could go for so much.

I heard an interesting stat the other day: If the Panthers make the playoffs (and its looking like they will) ... The "Center of the Hockey Universe, Everyday media darling, Nationally Renowned Toronto Maple Leafs will become the team that has gone the longest consecutive stretch without making the playoffs. I think it was 04?

Yep, the Blue Jackets, Oilers,* Panthers * (My fingers are crossed), Atlanta/Winnipeg, NY Islanders, and Colorado Avalanche will have all made the playoffs at least once since then. This leaves the leaves as the last one standing.

Go Panthers!!!

Already covered in the Fun Facts thread there Mr M.

It's funny because it's true!!

LOL you totally 'get' Burkie....

I find it hard to believe Carlyle was given a three year contract at $1.7 per season. Plus of course they give Wilson an extension only a month earlier. I'm surprised that the Teachers Pension fund can put up with this sh!t

Reimer being Burkie's goalie do the future pretty much guarantees if a few short year he'll be a shitty colour commentator for CBC.

And if you thought the Milbury-Roenick fued looked nasty, just wait till Burkie gets there.
