Leaf Fans Growing Weary Of Burke

Found March 26, 2012 on Kukla's Korner:
TEAMS: Toronto Maple Leafs
Brian Burke has been the Toronto Maple Leafs GM since he was hired early in the 2008/09 season.  He has had two complete seasons and two almost complete seasons.  In that time his team has never made the playoffs and it looks unlikely that they will be there this season.  Many Leaf fans have run out of patience.  In fact a recent poll says more fans think he has the Leafs on the wrong track than on the right one.  If those fans had their way, many would like to see him fired. This is a problem I somewhat anticipated.  In an old post I thought waiting around for Burke to come available and at the time sticking with GM Cliff Fletcher was not a great move.  I argued in the comments of that post that it is a big job to rebuild the Leafs at that time and even if Burke could do it there was a good chance that fans could turn on him and he could be fired before he got it done.

Mike Augello: Is Kadri A Keeper Or An Asset To Move??

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 26, 2012
On Saturday night, we saw another installment of the hockey version of Star Wars, with Don Cherry taking on the role of Obi Wan Kenobi and casting Leafs GM Brian Burke as Darth Vader. The latest dastardly act perpetrated by the Dark Lord was his mistreatment of Ontario-born forward Nazem Kadri, who after being called up on an emergency basis last week due to injuries to Matt Frattin...

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 3/27/12 Scoring Chances

Via Shutdown Line  |  March 28, 2012
Sometimes a great first period, solid defensive play and bad goaltending by the opposing team is enough to win you a few games and that was the case for the Hurricanes tonight in their 3-0 shutout over the Maple Leafs. The Hurricanes played terrific for the first 20 minutes in outchancing the Leafs 5-1 and gaining a 2-0 lead and then finished things off by sitting back and letting...

It’s Over For The Leafs

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 27, 2012
from James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail, It came earlier than last season, and it was hardly a surprise. But the Toronto Maple Leafs are now officially, mathematically eliminated from the playoffs after another dismal outing in a 3-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. The defeat caps an epic collapse by a Leafs team that had been sitting in sixth in the Eastern Conference...

Hurricanes-Maple Leafs Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  March 26, 2012
A regulation loss by the Toronto Maple Leafs or Carolina Hurricanes will eliminate that team from playoff contention, but even the winner of Tuesday night's matchup will almost certainly suffer that fate in a matter of days. The Maple Leafs and Hurricanes try to stave off elimination when they meet at Air Canada Centre to close out their season series. Carolina (30-31-15) and...
