Hey Boyz,
Hilarious! This reminds me of the hard years with Boston teams. The best thing for sports pain is self-effacing humor. :thumb:
I understand why you would say this and it doesn't have anything to do with the facts. Take any sports teams in general and look at a manager who has not been able to make his team into at least a significant threat, if not a top contender, after 4 years. Then look specifically at the key position on the hockey team and wonder why after four years that general manager has not developed or dealt for a real impact goalie. After four years the first thing any team builder should have is the right level of capability at the key position. Not having that is a major fault in any knowledgeable opinion.
Now why any individual fan should be so dedicated and worshiping of any player, coach, or manager who has not made a significant impact in his job seems nonsensical. Any fan should want better no matter who that might be, so insisting Burke should be given a 5 year contract right now either makes no sense, is a joke, or is an inexplicable devotion to mediocrity rather than the wisdom to move forward.
Whatever the case...it's Leafs fans who have to live with him.
BTW...I'm amazed how much the regular fans actually can get access to the Stanley Cup. Three months ago one variety store owner I know put up a photo of his grandchildren posing next to the Cup in his yard with the baby girl (about 2 years old) sitting on top. Maybe you guys can get that close in your lifetime.
Here's hoping

Just can't help taking personal shots in the regular hockey thread huh.
Iggy,
All you have is this constant pouting and delusional self-superiority. I didn't try to stick it to anyone today, but obviously you are too hurt to handle things.
Happy mediocrity,
Merlot
