By TSM Happy Monday! I had a chance to catch up with Brian Burke, the former General Manager of the Tronto Maple Leafs late last week. For those who care, Burke sounds like his old self, busy with a ton of charity events, watching a ton of hockey games etc. [...]
by TSM Fascinating what a difference a year makes. Life as a Leafs fan last year when Brian Burke was GM is much different then it is now under Dave Nonis. “On Wednesday Dave Nonis, Burke’s former right-hand man and eventual successor, did nothing — or next to nothing — [...]
