I'm guessing the maintenance crew at the ACC knew about Burke's firing before Burke did or they took down the sign to Burkie's Doghouse in record time.

Joins the Ducks as a scout. Interesting.

Hey this was the exact concern I think the Bell and Rogers execs prepared for. Would prove very difficult to shit can him now if they still wanted too. They didn't get along well and needed to jettison him before he had a chance to win.

Actually just heard a good one minute clip of the audio of the address that Burke quote came from and in context didn't sound near as juicy as it did snipped out on it's own.

Apparently Brian Burke was fired. Again. USA Hockey reportedly doesn't want him back for Sochi 2014.

Why though? Why does it matter if he has a current NHL job or not!? In fact, he has even more time to devote to building a gold medal-winning team.

I'm guessing Dean Lombardi is the favorite going in.

Apparently they're bitching on Twitter about him deleting his tweets or something like that.

I looked up his name on twitter earlier to try to find out what you meant and couldn't find anything.

Neither could I, but The Active Stick and Mirtle mentioned something about it.
