Why Brian Burke Of The Maple Leafs Is Possibly The Worst GM In The NHL: Part Two

What makes Brian Burke the worst GM in the NHL is that he is doing the exact opposite of what a team that is a perennial loser should be doing. He is not staying the course. He is not playing the youth. He takes gambles season after season and they have not paid off at all.

Excellent article. Completely accurate. I can only think of two current or recent GMs who were approximately as useless: Sutter in Calgary (they finally wised up and removed him before he totally destroyed the franchise) and that lunatic Snow with the Islanders.

The Leafs would DIE to have a P.K. Subban on their team...They'd gladly give up any one of their crappy D's for him.

The Leafs die just about every night. And as for their "defence" I wouldn't give you 17 cents for the whole lot!

But WAIT - maybe I'm being unfair. After all, Komi DID score a beautiful goal in the game against the Canes last night; too bad he scored it on the LEAFS!

As of about an hour ago the Leafs were 28 points out of first overall and 8 points out of LAST overall.

I find that SHOCKING! (Who would have guessed they'd be so close to first and so far ahead - by Leaf "standards" that is - of LAST?)

Is this someone we know?

I came across this yesterday.
The Canadian Press.

Wiarton Ontario, February 2, 2011

In what has now become a familiar site in the province of Ontario, and for the sixth years in a row, shortly after the break of dawn a mysterious man approaches the den of Ontario’s most famous prognosticator, Wiarton Willie.

The man carries a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater with him and gently lays in on the ground just outside the den entrance and calmly waits for Willie to emerge. (or "merge" as some would say :p)

Within minutes Willie slowly pokes his head out and stares at the sweater laid out before him. He then shifts his gaze to the man who stands a few feet away who in turn nods his head as if to give Willie approval. With that signal Willie walks on top of the sweater and sits down and again stares back towards the mystery man. One more time the man nods his head at which point Willie raises his hind legs and begins scooting his balls and asshole back and forth across the sweater then quickly runs back to his den with a look of disgust and discouragement on his furry little face.

The mystery man then walks away with a huge grin on his face leaving the symbol of national disgrace behind.

When asked to identify himself and what all this meant, the mystery man simply answered "GHG" and “six more weeks before the Leafs are mathematically eliminated”.

I wonder who it could be. :confused:

What's the difference between a penny and the TO Leafs ?
They both have a leaf as their symbol, they both are useless.... but at least our dear Canadian Gov. has finally come to his sense in wanting to get rid of the first one !

So the penny will be 'retired' while the Leafs will stay 'retarded' !

I wasn't aware that your federal government would be getting rid of the penny. Do you have a link to an article stating this?

That's interesting: What exactly IS the Chinese term for "Canada's National Embarrassment" ?

Leafs beat Atlanta 5-4

Nikolai Kulemin and Tim Brent scored third period goals as the Maple Leafs rallied to beat the Atlanta Thrashers 5-4 at the Air Canada Centre on Monday night. It was the Leafs third win in four games.

The new lines produced three goals in the second period as the Leafs rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the first to head into the third tied 3-3.

Grabovski, MacArthur and Dion Phaneuf – with his first goal as a Leaf in the Air Canada Centre – scored for Toronto.

Three cheers for "Captain" Dion. He was traded to the Leafs on January 31, 2010 and on February 7, 2011 (!!!!!) he finally scored his FIRST (!!!!!!) goal at the ACC. It "only" took him one full year PLUS 7 days! Wow - what an offensive force - NOT!

Still, let's look at the positives for Dion:

1. With that one goal he DOUBLED his production for this season. Now he's already up to TWO, thereby matching the year's total of prodigious Leaf scoring machine Colton Orr.

2. That one goal is one MORE than "merging superstar" (sic) Phil Kessel has managed in the last eleven games!!!

3. Well, I give up. When it comes to Dion, the two points above are the ONLY "positives" I can think of!

Kaberle leads the streaking Leafs to victory over the Isles

Tomas Kaberle scored the first of Toronto's three third-period goals to break a tie and the Maple Leafs took advantage of the New York Islanders emergency goalie, snapping a five-game, road-losing streak with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.

New York was forced to start Mikko Koskinen in his NHL debut after second-string goalie Kevin Poulin appeared to injure his left leg during pre-game warmups, minutes before the opening faceoff.

Colby Armstrong, who had two assists in the third, and Jay Rosehill scored to give Toronto a 2-0 lead on the Maple Leafs' first two shots at the 22-year-old Koskinen.

Nikolai Kulemin stretched it to 4-2 with 11:11 left and Fredrik Sjostrom made it a three-goal lead with 5:07 remaining. James Reimer made 31 saves for Toronto, which won on the road for the first time since Jan. 11.

The Maple Leafs are 4-1 in an eight-day stretch following the all-star break. Toronto had plenty of jump in its legs one night after beating Atlanta 5-4. Kulemin also scored in the third period on Monday.

Who knows. It's too bad the habs couldn't beat the mighty Devils last Sunday in Montreal. What a powerhouse those Devils have become! :D

(Oops! Do they really have only 44 points? Even with Kovalchuk? Shocking!)

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”------Hermann Goering

Amazingly, Lemaire has turned the Devils into one of the hottest teams in the NHL. As I wrote in the Leafs Nation thread, sometimes a change is required OFF the ice. Witness: Jersey and Calgary, where it's been done, and Ottawa - where it damn well NEEDS to be done.
