Burke could be running Leafs this weekend
Brian Burke could be in charge of the Maple Leafs by Sunday. It could take a little longer, but talks between the former Anaheim GM and the Leafs, or at least between Burke's lawyer and MLSE, are clearly heating up. Burke is spending much of today hunting ducks near Vancouver, but indications are from both sides that he's likely to receive a full-blown offer from the Leafs by Saturday as discussions to get his name on a contract move on to the fast-track.

wow, all this happened so fast. we all knew that it was a possibility at the end of the season. but for all the sudden for burke to just resign, not even a quarter way through the season and start talks with the leafs. well hey good to get him out of the west, maybe the new g.m for ducks will screw them up *fingers crossed*

I see they took down that idiotic piece about Melrose. I suppose they don't want their so called hockey experts embarrassed by a bunch of folks like us!

I dind't thin the terms "hockey experts" and "SI" or "T&R" ever belonged in the same sentence. Why the hell don't they take the Sundin threads off of here?

Ehh, SI's coverage of hockey isn't terrible. Farber and Muir are solid writers. Not SI's fault that the U.S. sports fan **** all over itself everytime T.O., Lord Fav-rah and Drew Rosenhaus open their mouths.
As for the Leafs, they have serious issues at the ownership level. If Burke can get them to listen mebbe they'll get better. Doubt it though.

Did they photoshop that picture up there?
Either the cup has grown by 50% or that's Burke's mini-me midget twin.

Bertuzzi looks great in Calgary though. He's already put up 14 points in 20 games in Calgary. He's on pace to score 27 to 30 goals. He still has some game left in him. The Flames made a gutsy move signing him and it seems to be paying off. He's definitely won the fans over.

Nobody can beat T&R at serving up reheated leftovers. Their three favorite dishes are : Sundin, Shanahan and Khabibulin. Lately, they added a fourth: Burke!
There you have it folks. Four T&R flavours: Sweedish, Irish, Russian and ...dog food!
P.S. I know! I know! Copy & Paste is cheezzy! But, T&R doesn't mind doing it, why should I?
