Burke is not stranger to goaltending coach controversy as remember in Toronto when Francois Allaire quit before he got fired and Burke blasted him;

“I regret that I have to deal with this matter publicly but I feel the need to respond. Was there interference from the staff as he said there was? Yes. But it was done reluctantly and it was done to change elements of our goaltending that was subpar,” Burke told the website.

It should be noted that Rick St. Croix was the replacement and he was fired and replaced by Steve Briere. Right or wrong goaltending coaches get singled out when goaltender performance is deemed subpar. I'm sure Burke has had an opinion on this matter with the Flames and there's been discussions regarding what changes they can make.
