    Elimination of Anaheim - Good news for Leafs!

    Burke now in Leafs' sights:

    Toronto Star Story

    "Burke has been the No.1 target of the Leafs since John Ferguson was fired in January and he's still the No.1 target."

    I figured this story would show up as soon as the Ducks were eliminated from the playoffs.

    The Leafs need someone experienced but i hope this guy isn't the one. He was a disaster in Hartford, helping push the franchise right out of town. He was no good in Vancouver as well, but everyone seems to forget his failures before he landed in Anaheim. He admittedly did a good job upon arriving there, especially in dumping Federov (Doug Maclean ) and acquiring Pronger. But this guy is clearly no savior as he has had more failures than successes. Plus his ego can sometimes be a little too much to bear.

    He has ruined the team this year. He thought they won because they were physical, but they won because they were physical and could skate. He brought in Bertuzzi, who just can't skate. Shipped off Andy Mcdonald for the worthless Doug Weight. Let aging veterans like Selanne and Neidermayer play half the season. And decided to bring on another old guy in Schneider.
