LOL @ Brian Burke... says it's crazy to pay this kind of money for the 6th best player on the team (with regards to Nylander).
Uh, where I'm sitting, I'm pretty happy having 6 superstars/elites on my team.  It's a good problem to have.

Burke is a washed up hack dinosaur. This is the same guy that paid Komisarek $6mil/yr 10yrs ago when the cap was what 40 something million??

It was $4.5M when the cap was $56.8M.

Well whatever the point still stands. When he left the Leafs were in cap hell.

He also just proclaimed Rick Middleton a 500 goal scorer.

(He's not.)

Well, even beyond that, I'm really not sure who Cherry thinks is in the HOF that Middleton's numbers are really impressive compared to. Middleton's career goal total would be one of the lower ones for a modern era forward in the HOF excepting guys who had shortened careers or were set-up guys. There are also 10 or so guys with more goals who aren't in the HOF.

Oh, for sure.  Middleton isn't remotely HOF caliber.  His career stats are very Steve Larmer ballpark.

I gotta give Burke a lot of room. Told all his kids to never drive in a blizzard, his son drives in a blizzard and dies.  He is in his late 50's or early 60s where heavy spirits is going to do you in.  He would have paid for a room in the Ritz for his kids.  He looks like shit and I can understand why, if I lost my 25 year old son for any reason I would be lost. He won't be the next Cherry and probably is on the short list of the next to get on the train. Its just the way it is.
 
Leafs not at their very sharpest tonight.  Zucker is flying around out there like the second coming of Pavel Bure.
 
Well had enough of this. Standing around, no contact whatsoever good riddance. Thank god for Andersen. Only reason we are in this game.
 
These are the kinds of games where the Leafs being incredibly soft makes it very difficult to win. I'm not going to get all azzurri about it but waving your stick at the opponent going for cutesy poke checks is not going to get the job done.

I think their problem tonight runs deeper than stick checks vs. bodychecks.
