What's with the dislike for Burke on here (from some)? Is it because he was Leafs GM and spoke his mind a lot? I personally like him. He reminds me of Darryl Sutter, just louder. They're both hockey men of honour that have their own visions when it comes to building teams, both contribute greatly to their organizations and communities, and both have suffered hardships and successes throughout their professional and family lives.
I thought that his dismissal in Toronto would have softened some to him, considering how it appears he was the one that was wronged. I hope he lands on his feet with an organization that's a little more professional than one that has, apparently, known for months they didn't want him around any longer, and only got to firing him after a dinner the night before and when he was about to board a plane for the team the next morning.
