[AndMat*]

God dammit **** im done with this ****in team **** the leafs leafs can go suck some dick **** burke **** everything

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

WE STILL HAVE NONIS....

NONIS better be taking over

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

This will be a BIG mistake.

 

[leafsfuture]

If his replacement isnt Nonis I am going to be absolutely pissed

 

[Dangles McGavin]

I am so confused.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

This is ****ED!

 

[go_leafs_go02]

No way this firing was completely hockey related. That doesn't make any sense at this point....

 

[Kbs]

Uhh what the hell?

 

[Guy Boucher]

So now a new person has to evaluate the roster and make important decisions within a week before the season starts? That's ridiculous.

Even if Burke is the wrong guy, this is a bad move at a ridiculously awful time.

 

[Gatorade*]

BEST DAY IN YEARS!!!

Thank you MLSE, FINALLY!

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Wow, what weird timing! Nonis is a smart guy , I suspect he'll be interim ?

 

[Sokil]

Well, consider me a Leafs fan again. I said I wouldn't follow the team as long as Burke & Wilson and MLSE were running the show, but the 3 chips have fallen.

I'm so freaking happy.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I don't even know what to say....


shocked

 

[Stats01]

You can bet a Luongo deal is now off.

 

[samwitch]

Wow!! Talking about it on TSN right now...

 

[Auston Marlander]

Bad move, not sure who they will get to replace him.

 

[ALine]

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

From what I hear is that he's been relieved of both positions. Gm and President.

 

[FireEverybody*]

Okay guys I try to be rational and calm most times... but now it is .. PANIC!

 

[Jozay]

Makes no sense.

I thought MLSE said they are dedicated to winning? If so, they're making an awful decision.

 

[htpwn]

What a bs of a timing

Yea, that is what is so shocking.

If they wanted to fire him, do after last year.

Why fire him ten days before the season?

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Wow. Surprised. I am at loss of words.

Nonis as GM?

 

[x94Galchenyuk94x*]

This is my thinking..

First reaction: Odds that a Brian Burke firing has anything to do with a difference of opinion on acquiring Roberto Luongo?

 

[Sokil]

BEST DAY IN YEARS!!!

Thank you MLSE, FINALLY!

Thank you ROGERS (...and bell)

Rogers, first they give us a new Blue Jays, and now its time to turn the Leafs into contenders.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Personally think this is a big mistake. However I am more curious to see who is going to be taking over. Sounds like this is more due to internal strife.

 

[Leaf_Crazy]

I dont understand.
Let him ride Wilson.
Let him hire Carlye
Let him go through UFA
Let him go through the draft

Fire him before a short season.....

This is beyond being hockey related.

Only good news is we have a strong staff.
