Welcome to the Vatican

crossBrian Burke is a smart guy. Today he made the following statement.

I am flattered by all this (attention in Toronto), because this is a great job you are talking about, if you are Catholic, this is the Vatican - Maple Leaf Gardens, the Air Canada Centre, the players in the rafters. (Toronto) is an Original Six team and it is the epicenter, with Montreal, of the hockey universe, and I am flattered by all the attention, and that someone would think that I was the right guy for this.

He must be a smart guy, because after that statement he said he was happy in Anaheim and wasn't interested in running the Leafs right now.

I agree this is the epicenter of the hockey universe, but if MLSE is running the Vatican, God help us all.

Read between the lines with what he said - he would love this challenge.
What else are you going to say when the owners of the Ducks are by your side.
He would love this job - but does PEDDIE or his puppet see this? No - too disfunctional.

I like Burke - I hope we do woo him. I once sat behind him at a Jays game. I wonder if he remembers me...
