Why do the leafs honor guys from 100 years ago every game?

Don't you know they had a hockey team 50yrs ago. Wonder if they'll ever get one again

They get blown out every 3rd game so it really isn't that big of a coincidence.

Burke doesn't believe in goaltending. He thinks it's a fad.

No doubt. His tenure in Van was a complete goalie carousel and thought that Dan Cloutier was the go to guy.

Burke called Van a goalie grave yard when in fact he is the goalie grave yard.

Giguère was the only goaltender he had success with. Giguère wasn't his acquisition. I thought it was hilarious that Burke brought him to TO even though everyone knew he was losing his game.

I'm starting to question Burke's ability to assess talent other than the obvious.

Wonder if he still calls up Kevin Weekes and tells him he's the "Goalie of the Future" or if that's Reimer now, or if he calls every goalie that.

Even Cloutier would have had success with Pronger and Niedermayer in front of him.

I love Burke as a side show,not so much as a GM.

He is great for the game. He loves the mic and the camera, but as a GM he is average to below average.

Who could forget it. When Burke said that I though we were getting the 2nd coming of Patrick Roy.

Exactly he is Don Cherry's illegitimate son.

If Canucks win this year I think Gillis will be voted as top 10 GMs of all time when he fiishes his tenure.

Then when Kevin couldn't reach his potential due to the crushing weight of expectation he turned around and said, "I'll drive him to the airport."

Maybe of this era, hardly of all-time, to be a top 10 GM of all time he'd have to get us to a dynasty level where we're either winning a cup or in the Finals nearly every year like the Patriots in the NFL. I consider Ken Holland to be #1 of this era because the Red Wings are almost always there at the end to be considered a big threat to either contend or even win the Cup.
