Hockey Central at noon is saying Burke has been fired.

Confirmed by Kyperos.

I think it's a mistake.

Wha?

Is this true?

Bob McKenzie‏@TSNBobMcKenzie Toronto Maple Leafs have apparently fired Brian Burke as general manager. Working on official confirmations.

Wow.

Deebo · January 09, 2013, 07:21:37 AM

More confirmations are coming in.

This is, without a doubt, the most surprising news I've heard in my time as a Leaf fan.

Green Leaf · January 09, 2013, 07:21:44 AM

WTF!?!??! wow... x2

Well, colour me confused. I'm not sure I buy it. Like Bobby Mac, I'll wait for confirmation.

Holy sssssssss

Potvin29 · January 09, 2013, 07:23:08 AM

This would be the most random timing ever.

Peter D. · January 09, 2013, 07:23:37 AM

Completely blindsiding. Absolutely shocking.

Joe · January 09, 2013, 07:24:25 AM

Um wtf?

Maybe he's refusing to consider Luongo and he's been told we'll find someone who will?

louisstamos · January 09, 2013, 07:24:42 AM

For real. Why now?

Is this the hill his legacy will die on? Really??

Part of me wonders if maybe he stepped down from his GM duties so he could promote Nonis, but will stay on as the team's President. This could all just be miscommunication.
