10:05 AM ET 11.24 | Brian Burke has the go-ahead to send any Leafs player to the minors -- essentially burying National Hockey League contracts -- without clearing it with his bosses or the board of directors of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. And that could happen as soon as this week.

I am waiting with bated breath

November 24, 2009  10:23 AM ET

So Kessel, Kaberle, White and Gustavsson stay up while the rest of the club goes down?

November 24, 2009  10:23 AM ET

Whats he gonna do? Bury the entire team?

November 24, 2009  10:23 AM ET

100 attempted shots, 61 shots on net, and we still lose.

What about Hagman, he is a top 6 forward on most teams.

Send Finger and Blake down. With Mitchell's injury, give Bozak a chance, and call up Hanson, who has 18 points in 18 AHL games.

I was saying to a co worker the other day...if you watch a Leaf game you never hear Fingers name or notice him on the ice at all. Where is he?

Well he's only played in 12 of 22 games so that might be part of the problem...

Not good when out of four forward lines we only mention keeping two guys with the big club...

Horrible team or awesome goaltending?

So this was going to be a rebuilding year with lots of rookies and the expectation that they wouldn't win a lot butm work hard. Now Burke is acting as if they were going to be a playoff team immeditaley. Juts tell the Leaf fans it's a 3 year project to play for the cup and cut all the other cr*p.

You forgot to mention that the Isles scored four times on 21 shots.

Walin and Kulemin will go down for sure... possibly Blake and Mayers as well...
Coming up...

Gunnarsson has been playing in Komisarek's place. And he's been playing pretty well. Both Exelby and Finger have been trading places in the press box

I wonder what the odds are in Veags for the Marlies to win the Calder Cup
