Confirmed with Link: David Nonis TML GM|Brian Burke Hired as Senior Advisor - II

[Leaf Rocket]

anselmi is avoiding the raptors question.

 

[Hyperglide]

Finally someone asked why BC still has his job and BB is gone. Tom is squirming in his seat saying BC's contract is done after this season.

Sure the puckheads are hating some of these basketball questions but it's a fair assessment.

 

[selltrade]

That Tom Ansemli is a dolt.

Corporate crap.

most powerful man in MLSE , Burke battled him and lost.

 

[tp71]

Without getting into specifics. Why is he fired? Well, without getting into specifics. So you won't tell us then tom?

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Only Rosie is asking legit questions and it's because she works for the Star

This goof Anselmi is the biggest god damn goof I've ever heard in a presser.

 

[achtungbaby]

Amazed Bryan Colangelo still has a job.

Addressing it right now

They both should have been fired. C'est la vie. We'll worry about the hockey side of MLSE here and let others worry about the basketball side.

 

[Kamal007]

Oh god, Nonis looks like he is at a funeral

 

[wreckless]

there is yur answer, mlse wants to conintue to rebuild where burkie wanted lougno

huh ?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Those of you unable to listen in, Nonis is asked about Randy and says that he has a longer relationship with him than Burke

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

I like this chick, asking the hard questions

Think it was Rosie DiManno, Toronto Star writer.

 

[Hyperglide]

Did someone seriously ask. "Did you see this coming?" Toronto media is the worst. LOL!

anselmi is avoiding the raptors question.

He's avoiding every question, something Burke was great at not doing.

 

[Hanta Yo]

Nonis looked like he was about to break into tears while thinking how everything was just so great last night at the AHL game.

 

[Stephen]

somebody get Nonis another water bottle, not liking what I'm hearing so far...

He sounds shocked.

Good thing he's not "interim"...

 

[Joey Hoser]

As I've been told many times by people here, just like the players, he is a professional and should not let nerves get the better of him.

I guess he should, if only so over-reactive people like you don't make claims about him being a corporate puppet because of his demeanor at a press conference on what has to be the heaviest day of his life in years.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

this should have been no surprise to fans.

 

[DD03]

Dreger is pumped! Yay! Got all the inside information on the Leafs! Thanks Dave!

 

[Rare Jewel]

most powerful man in MLSE , Burke battled him and lost.

Doesn't mean that's better for the team.

The guy who can't run TFC just fired a man who's won a Stanley cup and Olympic silver medal.


Way to go.

 

[MajorityRules*]

Don't piss off the board Nonis or you'll be joining Burke as an advisor.

 

[mt99808]

What is the speculation about incidents in Burke's personal life all about?

 

[achtungbaby]

most powerful man in MLSE , Burke battled him and lost.

What did Burke ask from MLSE that he didn't get? What battle??

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Nonis is asked if he saw the job coming.
Said no and looked like he had to choke back tears

 

[coach519]

Nonis looks like he's gonna pass out, geez man take the job and run.

Nonis looks like a kid who got caught smoking pot and Tom is full of BS (they made the decision right away, wtf is he talking about)

 

[Mowerman]

Oh god, Nonis looks like he is at a funeral

Given the circumstances did you expect him to be full of cheer and pep?
