OK, maybe it wasn't the coach...

Alright Mr. Burke, your new coach is one for three.

That's not what we'd call an improvement. We got one for three out of your old coach all the time.

That's good enough to avoid the playoffs in perpetuity. But you could have done that with the old coach.

Got any plans to bring our team to the playoffs? After all, as a fan I like to pretend that it's "our" team. Not a profit center for some faceless pension plan.

Sooner or later, Mr. Burke, you're going to run out of excuses. You're the General Manager. You're the guy who makes the deals. You're the hockey mind who decided to build a tough no-nonsense team around Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf.

What we need is a new kind of hockey mind.

Maybe you could get a job with the CBC. I hear they're being pressured to fire Cherry. Maybe you could pick up that slot.
