          flyers,

          97.4% of the board here never heard of Brian Burke. there's only a handful of hockey fans here. if this thread title read Mike Shanahan fired instead, there'd be over 800 views in this thread. we'll be lucky to hit 12 views here. if we do, you can be sure 90% of them posts will be from Leaf fans.

          Saying brian burke fired here is equivalent in popularity to WNBA's Minnesota Lynx GM fired today. same thing. in fact, that would get more views...it's sad, but not alot of americans care about hockey.

            But why fire the guy at this point when the season hasn't even begun? At least get through the season first. The timing is weird to say the least.

              Thanks for the heads up. What a sad commentary about the forum. Every sports fan should know who the Toronto Maple Leafs and Brian Burke are. Every sports fan should follow the game of hockey. The second greatest sport on earth exceeded only by soccer.

              Nicky when the Flyers are playing, the world could be ending and I wouldn't notice it. Nothing else matters. Learn to love hockey.

                Flyers, i swear you have no idea how much you just broke my heart. here i was so happy you love hockey, and then you killed it all when you said you love soccer more.. ouch. talk about a boring sport. how the hell do you like soccer? i can't believe you like it more than hockey. OUCH.. i was so happy you told me Flyers are bigger than Sixers and fans love them there. the only thing now that can put me in a severe depression is if you tell me Soccer is bigger than Hockey in Philly.

                Soccer better than hockey???? that hurts..

                  Rumors going around he knocked up Hazel Mae.

                  That shouldn't cost him his job though.

                  Timing is crazy.

                  Probably has to do with the luongo trade rumors.

                    Sorry but I have to be honest. The world has chosen soccer as it's official sport. It's without question the greatest sport on earth. Every country has a national soccer team. No other sport can compare with it.

                    That being said, there is nothing like the game of Hockey and in the game of Hockey, there is absolutely nothing like Flyers Hockey. No, soccer is not bigger than Hockey in Philly Nicky LOL. Not even close.

                    Nicky you should come to Philly for a Flyers game. You would go out of your fukkin mind.

                        I live 10 min from Bell Centre. Have you ever seen a game there? come see a habs game here and then you'll never watch another game anywhere again. Loudest fans by far in the NHL. only team that comes close in Winnipeg. this city is crazy for hockey. you'll go deaf in there, especially if it's a playoff game and we're winning.

                        Montreal is the hockey capital of the world. It's crazy here.

                              Nicky I've been to the Bell Centre. Fans are crazy in Montreal, not as crazy as us in Philly though. In Montreal, you can get away with wearing another team's jersey if you don't act like an asshole. In Philly, you have another team's jersey on in our building and you are automatically a target that will be watched for the entire time you're there LOL. One false move and it's lights out LOL.

                              You go out to the bars in Montreal wearing another team's jersey, you might get beat up. In Philly, it could cost you your life. Seriously.

                                          Luongo to Leafs is a lock now boys.

                                          Burke has publicly stated many times that he hates front loaded contracts like Lou's.

                                          Leafs upper management is feeling the pressure to make the playoffs and Burke clearly refused to trade for Luongo so they had to fire him.

                                          Nonis (former Canucks management) takes over. Sorry Leafs fans Luey will be there soon

                                                    Actually wonder if the Luongo deal had anything to do with this.
