We are going to hate Steve Ott. He is a super pest. Having him and Kaleta on the same team will not be fun for opponents.

Let's hope Neiler steps up and guys like Greening, O'Brien, Smith play a real gritty game.

I'd love to have Carks back there for his toughness, but I can't blame Murray for not giving him the 3 years and 1.5 million per year the Isles gave him.

Roy was a Sens killer. Glad he's out of the division.

I still hate that we let them go... Foligno, Winny etc I'm fine with... But this, this is gonna bite us in the ass I reckon...

My very first thought back when the trade broke. Was ecstatic that Roy was out of the division. The Sens were never able to shut him down.

I don't know if Mackenzie is trolling or wut, but he just tweeted this:

"Toronto Maple Leafs have apparently fired Brian Burke as general manager. Working on official confirmations."

If true though, BOOOHOOAHAHAHAHAA!!!

[OgieO]

Is that the real MacKenzie and not a fake? Wow, if true? Leafs fans reaction to this will be hilarious.

You should go read their thread right now. Pretty funny.

[ubbe]

Too bad, would have been funny if they failed another year under his watch,

[Icelevel]

This just in: maple leafs are a mess

[Niv]

Honestly was wondering if Bob McKenzie's twitter was hacked, didn't see this coming at all.

[SenzZen]

This actually worries me as a Sens fan.

I'm not sure it's going to hurt but it may be worth noting that all 4 of those guys are tough and can fight. The question is, do we need to fight so much? The other question is can methot, lats, ?? replace that toughness.

Personally i think we'll be fine. Compared to most teams we are plenty tough.

Yeah there are some good ones in there already. haha

[AndrePetersson]

What?

Why fire him NOW? The timing of this decision makes zero sense.

[CR15]

Crazy waht a gongshow of a team why fire him now ?

[Suiteness]

I'm guessing he didn't want to give up whatever the Canucks wanted for Luongo and owernership didn't agree.

[Erik Karlsson]

I hope they hire Pierre McGuire.

[Slow Hands]

My face when I found out Burke was fired:

[Erik Karlsson]

Now Murray will get Kadri for a 3rd is plan worked in the long term.
