Brian Burke is an embarrassment to SoortsNet/CBC and himself. From his shabby appearance to his severely outdated way of looking at hockey, he has no apparent appeal at all. Why is he on TV?

Is it presumptuous to assume that Willie would go directly to the top line as soon as he signs? Any chance he needs to shake the rust off first?

I don't think that I have ever voted here - not that I can recall anyway. MOM - Kadri - he was a target all night and very effectively helped keep their focus on him HM - Kappy - what speed.... and good hands in this one too  :)

I appreciate and understand your take on this. But I disagree and believe that the Cap has given stability to a league that was hurting itself by having teams fold and/or pop up in new cities with little chance of competing for the playoffs, let alone a Cup. Ironically, this same system that you...

Perhaps. But I feel that the booing is personal and that makes no sense to me. If people want to boo him because they want to boo a league that allowed lockouts in the past and has a salary cap which some teams find hard to fit within then who am I to argue?

Okay, fair enough. I will withdraw the "classier" comment and go another way. He has been the commissioner for 35 years. Somewhere along the way he was truly on the butt end of boos and jeers from fans who blamed him for all that is wrong with the game of hockey. Somehow it became the in thing...

But wouldn't it be a lot classier of the Leafs fans to give him a hand of applause.... at least this once?

Milwaukee beat Golden State last night and Stef Curry was hurt late in the game. He walked off and needs an MRI today. Raptors vs. Golden State coming up Nov 29th  ;D

I think that Bettman deserves to be in the HHOF, but I do wish that the timing was different. Perhaps right after retiring someday. I am cringing today thinking about how he must be feeling to know that he will again be mercilessly booed when he is announced. I have never understood this. He...

Mirtle On Benefits of Signing Willy Late

Last night was Freddie's 79th win as a Leaf and that ties him at 11th all time. That surprised me. A lot. So I looked up the top 10, and here it is: 1. Turk Broda* 304 2. Johnny Bower* 219 3. Felix Potvin 160 4. Curtis Joseph 138 5. Mike Palmateer 129 6. Harry Lumley* 103 7. Lorne Chabot 102 8...

I find myself wondering a lot lately if all of this is just a big orchestration on the part of the Leafs to exploit a favorable part of the CBA. If Willy gets signed Dec 1st to a 7 (or 8) year deal that pays him the first year as a signing bonus - meaning that no salary was lost by sitting out -...

Yes.

I am really enjoying these games and find myself looking forward to the Monday game between Raps and Bucks far more than the Leafs and Flames.

Impressed by the way the Tampa Bay Rays use data in their decision-making on and off the field, the Toronto Blue Jays are set to hire Charlie Montoyo away from their American League East rivals to be their new manager according to an industry source. The decision, perhaps the most important...

This Year GF - 38 GA - 32 SF - 315 SA - 318 PP - .360 PK - .821 Last Year GF - 43 GA - 36 SF - 342 SA - 332 PP - .282 PK - .857

When I watch Raptors games I envy that crowd and wish that they could all come to a Leafs game now and again. If Raptors fans make that much noise and if the country embraces this team like they have before in a playoff run it will make things interesting for Kawhi, regardless of where he is...

I am surprised that there is not more Raptors talk going on here. I would consider myself to be only a casual fan, but have watched all 4 games so far this year. From what I can see, this Raptors team is built much better to be a playoff team than the previous few years. Lots to be excited about...
