No, BB didn't set the world on fire on day one of the NHL draft, but he did pick up a pretty special player and person in Nazem. And when you're taking shots at the Montreal dummies...
From the Sun:
"I don't give a rat's ass about that," Burke said of the booing. "The best hockey fans in the world are not here in Montreal, they are in Toronto.
"When (the draft) is in Toronto in a couple of years, (last night's reaction) will be child's play."
If you can't beat'em, insult'em. Actually I'm not sure Leafs fans care enough about Bob Gainey to boo him. Blue and white supporters aren't resentful. All they want is a winner. And if an ex-Habs fan can chip in to help out the process, so be it.
BTW: Congrats to Islanders' fans. Gotta admit, nice showing at the old building in support of your club on Friday. Heard tickets to the function were free... still I guess you could've been doing other things instead of watching a hockey draft on TV. Hey, what's one night without a Camaro cruise? And maybe John Tavares helps boost the Islanders back to relevance in the crowded New York sports scene? Better to have that opportunity than not at all.
