View Photo »This is where we pay the schedule maker back. I come from the Western Conference (since 1998). We are not in a strong position to whine about the schedule.
Brian Burke is everywhere. It doesn't matter
We have played well enough to win eight of the last 10 games and that's why you haven't seem me storm into the dressing room and yell at everybody ... Other than the Minnesota game [a 5-2 loss to another of the league's struggling teams], I think our efforts have been solid. It is clear they are listeni...
If Brian Burke is here, that's great
Obviously, our job is to make the game as safe as we can make it without reducing the amount of hitting that is distinctive of our game in North America ... It's a rough sport. There's not a safe place on the ice surface and it's never going to be a safe workplace.
What should Brian Burke do to fix the Toronto Maple Leafs?
We’ve told the NHL we’d like to host an entry draft, an All-Star game and an outdoor game [at BMO Field, home of soccer’s Toronto FC] ... We think Toronto’s a pretty important market, and we think we could do a pretty good job with those things, and we’d like to host them. We’d like our fans to get a ch...
We had some fun together ... Him and Brian Burke feed off each other. When they're together, it's pretty comical to listen to, and that's a good way to have it. If [Wilson] wants to speak his mind, good for him.

He's not new at this, he has got 16 years of invaluable experience from a lot of great hockey minds ... He has also worked for Brian Burke in Anaheim and Ray Shero in Pittsburgh.

We kind of cheer for both teams because London is right in the middle ... The Red Wings are a powerhouse team, for sure, a great team. The Maple Leafs have made bad draft picks so I think it's a positive that they hired Brian Burke to run the team. They've got the right guy. But the Red Wings are a firs...
In my mind, Toronto is the centre of the hockey universe
Not just experience as far as international play ... but dealing with (U.S. coach) Ron Wilson, (assistants) John Tortorella and Scott Gordon, and Brian Burke. It's getting your nose in there, getting recognized and making sure they're all seeing what you can do.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have never taken the position that if the league comes to us and makes the case that this makes sense for the National Hockey League, that we won't look at that. We never said that
What gave rise to the charge was your friendship with Brian Burke
You've got to make the case. It's no different from when people have said: `We'd like another team in Winnipeg.' So would we. Quebec City? Great, make the case. Show me that you have a building that can generate NHL economics. In this case here, show me the team works here without unduly harming the two...
Brian Burke was the president and general manager of the Vancouver Canucks when his team put a bounty on Steve Moore's head. Three weeks later, Brian Burke's Vancouver Canucks' collected on that bounty, permanently injuring and ending Steve Moore's NHL career

He would definitely be on the Mt. Rushmore of U.S. hockey, along with Herb Brooks ... No one would debate that.
For Brian Burke to be writing these letters, knowing that Steve Moore wasn't healthy, knowing that he wasn't medically cleared to play hockey — and now we know all these years later he's never been cleared to play hockey again — is really to add insult to injury.
The big team outing was getting on a boat for deep-sea fishing ... Jeff Halpern was the captain, and Phil had told him, 'Look, I get seasick in a bath tub.' So the day came, and Jeff asked, 'Well, are you going?' And Phil's response was, 'You bet I'm going.' He was seasick the whole time, and what's mor...
It's great to come play for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Brian Burke ... We've talked about coming in here and bringing some toughness and that's what we're looking to do.
