Me too, me too. Yep that was a good one and I was hoping that someone on Pens would drop gloves with him. He's total package: can skate, can shoot,forechecks like a machine, can blocks shots, has sound positional game, can score when he gets the chance and can beat the crap outa anyone. Mike Brown is the Total Package (insert Randy Marsh's voice from South Park)

This is probably going to be one of the most boring Free agent summers in a long time.......

Player 2011-12 Team 11-12 Cap Hit
Daymond Langkow Phoenix Coyotes $4,500,000
Tuomo Ruutu Carolina Hurricanes $3,800,000
Jarret Stoll Los Angeles Kings $3,600,000
Jochen Hecht Buffalo Sabres $3,525,000
Olli Jokinen Calgary Flames $3,000,000
Mikhail Grabovski Toronto Maple Leafs $2,900,000

Those are your top upcoming FA's..........

FA signings rarely improve your team anyways but I still enjoy Free Agent day on TSN. Not this summer

also there can be a ton of great free agents, the nhl will likely do what th nba teams were allowed to do and thats a 1 time buyout that dosent count agasit the cap.

example. luongo, carter, cammy if flames blow up, heatley, havlat, just to name a few

Thoughts maybe giving him a 2 year 3.5 mill contract IF we can get rid of Connolly?

But had anyone else noticed the total void of information from TSN about Cherry and Burke?

It's like there loyalty is divided, their biases laid bare so they ignore the story.

I hope the rest of TO fans are seeing this and reading it.


HEY --- if I missed it andthey did report it on TSN.ca... my bad

- Beatle_john


Everyone knows about it, no one cares.

What is it with you Vancouver guys and Burke? You've still got your panties in a bunch after all these years? Get over it.

I love Burkie, but the lengths he goes to defend Wilson boggle my mind.

His friendship with Wilson is clouding his judgment and holding his team back. I don't understand why Cherry isn't allowed to be critical of a coach who hasn't done a thing for this team in 4 seasons.

If there's one thing that's bothered me about Burke's time here, it's been his blind loyalty to his buddy, despite the lack-lustre results. It's a shame because Burke's got a good thing going here with this team.

- Leeman4Gilmour


To be fair, he wasn't just being critical of his coaching. My understanding is that they had a clip of the Leafs doing a tribute to some troops and Wilson wasn't clapping so Cherry said something like "Wilson couldn't care less about the troops". This ignores the fact that Wilson applauds every night when they do Luke's Troops. Cherry took a cheap shot because he doesn't like him.
