Burkie still has one fan in Toronto

And here she is.

Maybe Rosie has another book in the works.

Sounds like a big whack of sour grapes to me. The new management is making Burke look foolish? No, sorry, Burkie did that to himself and all by himself with the Kessel trade.

After four years in a row without a playoff appearance the only thing bizarre about the timing of Burke's firing  is why it took so god-awfully long.

Burke is a solid guy and has stuck his neck out for some social issues that need champions. But that's not why he picks up a paycheque from the Leafs.

After four years of working his magic with a virtual carte-blanche approach, something he's not likely to get again, he has proven himself a dud as a general manager.

The Anaheim team that cemented his reputation as a winner was something Burke lucked into. It had next to nothing to do with Burke.

As a human being Brian Burke is the kind of guy I'd like to have backing me up in a dark alley.

As an NHL GM, he's been on the south side of mediocre.
