Apparently in addition to getting taken off the plane, Burke and all the MLSE brass were at the Marlies game last night too...so something's gone off the rails really quick.

Maybe Burke didn't want to give up his Telus phone and the Rogers/Bell combo owners didn't like it?
Sounds like it's something that had been pondered for a while that was triggered by a disagreement (Burke didn't want to give the the assets Gillis was asking for?) or event (Burke being Burke and opening his big mouth to the wrong person?). The truth will likely leak out and it seems the Luongo to Toronto rumours will come to fruition.
