Brian Burke named Mighty Schmucks GM
FUCK FUCK FUCK....

God I hate Jon McCaw.... Burke was the best GM the Vancouver Canucks ever had and now he's gone for good.
Why did they not renew his contract? Because he wasn't a yes man... they did like someone telling it like it is.

The city is really going to miss him.

When I grew up that guy was my god.

Yeah...I also cried....I remember them playing Good Ridance from Green Day on the last game he played before the trade....the pictures and song just made my eyes pour....Boy I need a Hockey fix...NHL hockey.!!

4. Yeah, that's the other thing - he's a class act
I remember his first game back... when they announced his name on the starting shift the place went bonkers.

Too bad his big game was marred by all that Bertuzzi shit.

6. question: is that a promotion
or a demotion? GM of a bankrupt franchise in a non-existent sports league? lots of time to play rotiserrie I guess...
