TSN basically thinks it's cause Nonis is more of a corporate guy and ownership just didn't like Burke's style. Nonis was a big factor in a lot of the Leafs moves the last few years, and he's going to manage the team similar to Burke did so it basically comes down to Burke's personality.

Whether you buy that or not......

I think it's more so that Nonis is a quieter guy. Burke is a loud man, and he has his strong opinions. Nonis isn't like that.

Comes down to one party wanting to get Luongo, one party didn't probably .. I don't buy that whole other crap, the Leafs are under so much pressure to make the playoffs. Especially with a new ownership group in place, they want to see results .. Or at least something they know that can sustain success

I like Nonis, he's a good replacement .. Weird that Burke is still with the team though, it's like a reshuffling or something :dunno:

There's just too much going on right now, it doesn't add up. Wow is this week going to be freaking interesting now.
 
Anyone else think this is just a tip of the iceberg of the ****storm that's about to hit within the next week and a half?

I really hope it doesn't come down to Luongo. That's such a ****ing dumb idea to fire a GM over one ****ing player, especially one with a terrible contract, one player that we don't even know if he'll vault us into the playoffs.

I agree. If some one gets fired over one player, the people who fire him are a joke.
 
Favourite part about this ordeal is that Burke haters are ****ing ecstatic that he got fired without realizing that Nonis will likely run the team similar to Burke did. Just go back to the Canucks thread and read the thoughts about Nonis. Sounds a lot like Burke, doesn't it?

That's just it. There's a reason why Burke hired Nonis too. He's exactly like him. People just dislike Burke because he stood up for what he believed in, he's opinionated to the max, just like Don Cherry. People dislike Don Cherry just because he goes against the grain.

Funny thing is people are so happy without realizing the leader might have been replaced but they have the same game plan :laugh:

Blind hate is insane.
 
Hodge says that he got told that the team wouldn't play a game with Burke being the GM.
