Brian Burke Presser at 12:00

[Epictetus]

They should be teaching this in journalism classes titled, "how to not do an interview" or even, "why the advancement of 'journalism' has become tabloid garbage."

Looks like I was right after seeing the PC.

 

[Hurt]

See ya Burk join your unemployed buddy Wilson and think about the dumb ass decisions you two made while running this organization.

Except Brian Burke is still on as a senior advisor so he's not unemployed.

 

[Todd Skill]

So what are we thinking here as far as the tie goes? Loose, done up, shirt with no tie, or Bellichek style hoodie?

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

just listening to tsn 1050...i keep hearing people refer to rumours about burke's private life that may have led to him getting fired. can someone please tell me what they are...if you don't want to post it, then pm me.

Make no mistake about it Burke disrespected and pissed off a lot of people in the media here in Toronto when he was running the Leafs don't be surprised if there's some payback for the bellicose big bully at his farewell presser and questions are asked to try to push his buttons would love to see it.

I hope he did. The media's a bunch of entitled tools in Toronto. They need to be told to F off every now and then.

 

[Cor]

Don't expect Burke to start bashing MLSE, he still works for them

 

[trellaine201]

Probably, but I'm still hoping for an explosion

MLSE wouldn't call the press conference if they thought Burke would go wild. On the other hand, if Burke could have been gracious and respectful, he'd probably still have his GM position. If he couldn't swallow his pride to keep his GM job, what makes people think he'd do it to keep an advisor position?

Burkes given in and will now say what MLSE wants him to stay

 

[Im Old Gregggg]

So Burkie's big EGO has to hold a press conference to tell us all how butt hurt he is after getting fired huh lol?

I couldn't give a rats ass i just wish this arrogant bombastic buffoon would ride out of town on a southbound jackass already.

Suck it up Burkie your bully persona schtick wore out it's welcome you sucked as a Leafs GM and deservedly got canned.

allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllrightayyy thennnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[BLONG7]

Not a fan of Burkie, but he is a standup guy, love him or hate him...it's results orientated business, his new bosses decided they didn't like him or his results........

 

[Liminality]

It's kinda sad when you hear people attacking Burke as if they hurt them in their personal lives.

He's still with MLSE as an advisor, he'll still have advice for this team going forward until another team picks him up as GM.

[RaskY]

Haha, already...This should be good..

 

[Oiffub]

Wow, no involvement in hockey operations.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Wow, no involvement in hockey operations.

He's pissed, not what he offered to do

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

so, his senior advisor role is to the mlse board...it's not hockey operations. so, basically, it's meaningless

 

[p.l.f.]

so what's his little job then?

 

[fahad203]
