Confirmed with Link: Brian Burke Fired, Hired as Senior Advisor | Dave Nonis Hired.

[void]

I think you guys will be better off without him.

 

[Leaf Army]

Crazy.

 

[paulster2626]

Makes no sense...

 

[SteveV*]

I am STUNNED!!

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

Worst possible news i could have ever heard

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I'm actually speechless

 

[Joel Ward]

Really don't understand the timing of this.

 

[Warden of the North]

Wow.

I'm gonna miss him as GM.

I hope Nonis takes over. I DO NOT want a full shake up of what we have going.

 

[Stephen]

I wonder if it had to do with the Luongo situation? Dave Nonis replaces him?

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Apparently I am wrong WTF! He just brought in a new coach and everything. Very unexpected!

 

[Leaf Rocket]

What a bs of a timing

 

[bishop12]

holy cow...talk about out of the blue...

 

[sens4life]

Confirmed via Sportsnet (Kyper) and TSN (McKenzie)

 

[Kyle93]

[Bob b smith]

TSN 990 Radio Montreal are confirming it.

Edit; Bob Mckenzie confirms it.

 

[Brewsky]

What the **** are we doing? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What the....who did this? Rogers?

What the...I'm at work and I'm pooping my pants!

 

[AndMat*]

**** **** **** **** **** ahdimcm

 

[Leaf Army]

Can't be solely hockey related. Timing is just too weird.

 

[Leaf_Crazy]

Uhh... I think this might have to do with a scandal. Not going to say anything else.

 

[SprDaVE]

He could stay on as President, Nonis takes over as GM.

 

[Mess]

If true, this would be the least surprising unexpected news coming out of this whole lockout fiasco.

Who possibly couldn't see this one coming ?

 

[kyle747]

awesome! Bring on the new 5 yr plan !!!

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

This sucks. I liked what he was doing (aside from Kessel deal).

 

[MrLegend28*]

im a Burke supporter, but I like the moment he's fired you're all like "nooo omg nooo" meanwhile we've had a thread/day bashing Burke for the last 2 years.

 

[Stats01]

I'm shocked, the timing if this is so ********
