  • Burke Seeks Nonis

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 30, 2008 11:39 pm 1 comment

    So far all the parties are saying all the right things. The Ducks issues a very nice statement about Burke taking the job in Toronto. Burke took the opening few minutes of his press conference to thank the ducks. Everyone join hands and sing koombaya. TSN is now reporting that [...]

     
  • An unblogpost

    Very few things make me nauseous. This one thing that I saw made me ill enough to the point that I have taken some time today to contemplate stop writing. You see I do this to blow off some steam. It is a great distraction from the regular rigors of [...]

     
  • Best Brian Burke Preview? Bob McKenzie- Hands down

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 29, 2008 11:05 pm no comments

    It’s a long one so I am not going to tear it apart, but Bob’s preview for Leaf fans on the Brian Burke era is great. There is one flaw that I see, and I will get to that….: “For as much of the bull in a china shop mentality [...]

     
  • Brian Burke Press Conference-Recap

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 29, 2008 4:04 pm 9 comments

    Best part to me was when he said his teams will “have the proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone truculence and belligerence.” I will break down more later but for now…here is the play by play: Richard Peddie: From the start of the search we said we were looking for a [...]

     
  • Burke Press Conference

    As if you won’t be, just in case, TSM will be watching live and have commentary during and after. Anyone else watching Tommy Boy which is on 319 on Rogers right now???

     
  • Perspective on the Burke Era

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 29, 2008 11:33 am no comments

    That didn’t take long did it? Paul Hunter and the brains at the headline writing desk at the Star did some homework and actually spend some time researching Brian Burke’s draft history while at the helm of the Vancouver Canucks. As the old latin saying Res ipsa loquitur goes, his [...]

     
  • E.J. Hradek Calls Out Mats Sundin

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 28, 2008 11:39 pm 9 comments

    I, am sure none of your are surprised, am in total agreement with everything written here as ESPN’s Senior Hockey writer included Sundin on his list of this years Turkeys: “The big Swede is/was a terrific player and I’d love to see him come back and play. But, I’m a [...]

     
  • A Thanksgiving Fletcher

    Yesterday was US thanksgiving. While it is not celebrated here in Canada it does allow us (if we allow it to) all a time to reflect and think, just a little bit about what we have to give thanks for. The brilliant folks over at Kuklas Korner has asked folks [...]

     
  • Brian Burke Finally Done? For Real

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 28, 2008 5:52 pm 5 comments

    Ok….I am now almost willing to say that it is done…. The NHL’s NHL Director of Corporate Communications has posted on his twitter account the following Tweet “NHL brian burke new leafs GM” that is as close to a legitimate source as I need. I guess all I had to [...]

     
  • Well???? We Are Waiting

    toronto maple leafs hockey November 28, 2008 5:38 pm 3 comments

    You see this is why the media blew the story. Between the coup in the Canadian government, the unrest / terrorist situation in Mumbai I have been waiting around all day for final confirmation that Brian Burke picked up his pen and signed the deal. So far, as of 4:30 [...]
