nah, the one where bruce gives robin a birthday present and it's the robin outfit...and the 2 final frames are robin and alfred looking shocked at the skimpy costume and bruce with a creepy look on his face
 
ok from what ive been told the pressure to make the playoffs is immense towards burke, the so called board told him this was a prerogative right from year one

burke is yet another one who is a puppet on the strings and his ability to do what he truly wants is being partially blocked

the tension is immense

burke did not want to bring up kadri at all this year! this was a board decision based on their experts who listen to media and fans

he had to fight to sign macarthur ! board could not fathom a player of no "hype"

the sedins were his gamble and banking on it huge to push for the playoffs

he has been told to land a top tier player at whatever cost and that playoffs are an absolute must !

wilson is sticking around because the rope is thin on burke and he has no time to switch coaches

been told by board they are quite fine with throwing the bank at stamkos ! that his hype would help immensely

burke has not been given his space to do what he truly wants with this team ! its all about what hype he can create and not what team he can establish
 
Even Ken Holland wouldn't stand a chance in this place. Why pay a man so much only to tell him how to do his job.
 
This makes sense,

Becuase the way the roster is shaped right now, its not a burke team. Burke likes his top 6 skilled (crabb and bozak arent that skilled), and his bottom 6 big/physical/defensive oriented (Brent is not big or physical, Boyce is average sized) This is a small leafs lineup, and Burke has a history of having big sized teams.
 
MLSE in my opinion just views the leafs as a toy. They already own the raptors/toronto fc/bemo field/acc/condos surroning the acc, between all of that they have more then enough revenue coming in. MLSE does not care about the fans, they don't care about the leafs winning, the only thing they care about is profit (selling out home games, merchandise etc). Until we get ONE owner who is passionate about hockey/winning, the leafs will remain status quo.
 
oh and niewy was being groomed to be gm eventually of this team! but it was burke who suggested to him to get out and build a reputation elsewhere that would not scrutinize him at such an early start to his career ! niewy has since stayed very close with burke and appreciates the advice given to him
 
Wow, that is even more dire and gloomy than what my contact at MLSE tells me. But its believable. Are you saying that they STILL want him to make the playoffs this year? Are they that nuts?

And sign Stamkos? WOW, how do they figure that can be accomplished? Is that possible?
 
as for kaberle ! burke has never intended to trade him ! once again its board fodder so burke is caught in crosshairs cause he is trying to convince the board the value kabby brings to this team but on the other hand the board hockey experts believe he needs to go ! its a friggin mess jaw dropped finding out burkes hands are tied as much as was fergies
