Burns immediately went down to the locker room, cursed at the top of his lungs, snapped some sticks and kicked garbage cans. The Leafs had one of their best games of the season afterwards. I'm hoping something similar happens tomorrow night.

so if we rewrite this story for the flames... it would be something like this?
The Flames had won their last 2 game at home against two very good teams and so were lollygagging around in practice. Brad Trolliving, GM at the time, went up to Gulutzan and said "Ya think you're in the clear, Gluey? You and all the rest of these lazy punks, you're all in vacation mode already."
Gulutzan immediately went down to the ice, cursed at the top of his lungs, threw his stick into the stands and a few vets under the bus. The Flames tuned him out and had one of their worst games of the season afterwards. Gulutzan was fired immediately after the game, with Dave Cameron to serve as interim head coach.
