Still hoping that someone signs both Torts and Keenan to share head coaching responsibilities and then makes a reality TV show.

Will always love Hartley after the Vancouver game where he made Torts loose his poop. But would be happy as a Oiler fan on draft day if they can sign BB.

No Daryle, bring him home!

General press conference not a tsn thing.
- LittleRickyV2

Well BT is kinda busy at the moment with team Canada poop, plus TSN chose not to air that presser, instead opting to shove a camera in front of Burke. That's not really the fault of BT.

But...but Shanahan was at the draft lottery!! That means he is the one in control!

Sure sounds like Monahan hated Bob based on this...

Listened to it on the Fan - he was his usual monotone self, but to me it didn't sound like he was either devastated nor elated by the news.

It's the cycle of sports, you have the hard-ass coach and he is usually followed by a players coach, or more of a mid-liner, and then in comes the hard-ass to follow when the perception is that the players have become too comfortable.

Waited one off season too long, with big name, long tenured coaches having been snapped up last year, but I have little doubt the Flames are targeting an experienced coach with a solid track record.

Boudreau is the first name that springs to mind, because of timing and, generally, his solid regular season track record.

I also wonder what will happen with the below guys:
Tippett - got some power in AZ, but if they get a new GM, that may change and he could opt out... you can bet BT is watching his former team just in case
Mike Kitchen in Chicago - draw the Toews/Kane/Keith comps with Mony/JG/Gio, throw in a Chicago coach working under one of the best in the game and who knows??

He actually burned you pretty good and this was the best you could come up with.

As if I could give a fck about some pukes like yourself burning me on a internet hockey site. Ooooooww eeeeewwww it burns so bad.

Go away, don't you have tests to study for?

Anyone think that if we land Bruce Boudreau are chances of acquiring one of there goalies goes down?

Not the first time you've said that

- Yeah...Baby

*their

By that logic is Lou Lamoirello Shanahan's coffee boy?

You don't think the fact that BT is busy with team Canada at the world championship had anything to do with the fact that he didn't go to the draft lottery?

Besides, TSN never passes up an opportunity to put a mic in front of Burke.

It seems they have a good dynamic going and I don't doubt that BT goes to Burke for his input/advice on bigger decisions, but this is still very much BTs team.

Jesus Christ you can't be that stupid can you? I said any times BT is the GM and makes the final call. But any of you thinking presidents don't have a big say are dumb as (frank).

First you implied that Boudreau would not want to work with the "blowhard" Burke.


Then when people began to point out that it is in fact BTs team you backtracked and said Burke has a big say in things, but in the end BT makes the call in an attempt to save face.

Of course the President has a big say in the organization you fukin knob, nobody on here disagrees with that. But if you honestly think that the President of the organization is going to be talking/influencing the coach on a regular basis then you are the one who is "dumb as (frank)". There are many factors that will go into BBs decision, Burke is not one of them.

Get a head start on friday and go fist yourself.

Burke is a blowhard. Why would BB want to work with him? If you dont think Burke will be a factor in if Boudreau wants to coach in Calgary is a factor? Of course it is. People don't like working for poopty bosses.

We all know GMs get the final say. I never back tracked anything idiot.

Jesus there are some dumbass people on this site. You just wanted to argue for the sake of it. You've proven many times you don't have a clue. Gfy!

Your posts on here today are up there with Bigern and Dino's usual drivel.

Not that im involved, but I think people in the hockey industry respect Burke. He does things to benefit his people. Things like calling the Xmas freeze a week early for his teams. BB nay not be one, but I think many people would hVe no issue working alongside a man with Burke's knowledge and experience.

They should bring back Jim Playfair. He never got a fair chance here.

No one has suggested the other coach that got canned in the possible coach carousel this season...
Dave Cameron... I mean failing after a season with a non cap team isn't that much a failure, it's tough coaching a team like the sens

Or what about Paul McLean? He was the guy that apparently that ran the Ducks power play and PK.... He turned that them around with it.... And that's one of our greatest weaknesses

That's a laugh... Burke has been the GM of five teams and aside from inheriting an already built team in Anaheim has been a total flop everywhere else.

Not at all.....coaches come and go but you'll always be a douche bag

I'm a douche for actually knowing something about hockey unlike you? you literally attacked me called me an idiot and a troll for saying he should be fired. Well guess what treliving agreed. whatever keep beating the meat to hartley you loser

Yes that's it exactly, the depth of your hockey knowledge is the reason you're so unlikeable.....

That's a bit of a stretch. He was only in Hartford for a year and made some decent moves, he did a great job in Vancouver, he did a great job in Anaheim, he made some okay moves in Toronto but I could see people thinking he was a flop, and he's not the GM in Calgary.
