And so begins a new NHL season for Leaf fans…
January 9th, 2013
I was never on the Brian Burke bandwagon. I remember before he was hired, everybody on town saying he was the only guy. And I wondered what they saw in him that I simply didn’t. But his firing now, at this time, is bizarre to me. At the end of last season sure, even over the summer once new ownership was in place. But now, some 20-games with his new coach and days before training camp starts?
So if you’re a Leaf fan who thought, young team, shortened season with extra long break before, if Jimmy Reimer can put together the kind of January to April run he did 2-years ago, this could work – sorry about your luck, it’s all starting from scratch.
And here’s a question, isn’t Dave Nonis the pro-Louongo go on the management team? sigh…
Leafs have jumped from the proverbial frying pan into the fire. Nonis is no better than Burke,and maybe worse.
The guy is way too impressed with Roberto Luongo, who is definitely the worst choke artist in the NHL. If he (Nonis) trades for Luongo,I’d suggest Leaf fans do the currently trendy thing,and hunger strike until they trade him away again.
Don’t look for much improvement on the Leafs under Nonis’ management.
