It really is. Brian Burke against the world.
The man is down to his last play as GM. And he's going to play it his way, or get fired trying.
Credit the man. Criticize the general manager.
Burke is lauded for his honesty; but after an hour's worth of saying just about nothing enticing or encouraging in his year-end press conference, one should hope he's actually lying through his teeth. Because the truth, coming from Brian Burke, really hurts.
This is his mess. Based on what he's telling us, I don't feel confident that he's going to succeed in cleaning things up in time. I do believe he's been trying. And will continue to. Until the Chairman's next apology and thanks. Not to Leafs fans, but to Brian himself.
