chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 I know it's early but it does my heart good to see the goons have started out just where they left off last year; 2 wins 5 losses -last night they were outshot 28-4 in the 2nd and 3rd periods and blew a 2-goal lead before winning a shoot out to Toronto #27th in GFA #1 in PIM #20 in GAA #30 in PP% (1 out of 25 4%) And this is their last year to have any chance of competing before they have to try and resign 15 free agents.

daniel1 32 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Hopefully Burke is held accountable for the team's failures and is fired. That might shut the windbag up for a while at the very least. Maybe Edmonton will offer him a scouting job when he's let go lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 He's a parasite. I expect he'll move on to another team after this season now that hes sunk Anaheim's ship. Preferably a team that already has up-and-comers in place, high draft picks, tradeable assets, and lesser siblings of superstars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Edmonton will offer him a scouting job when he's let go lol. nope. I most certainly hope he will be held accountable and kept so that everybody could see what a cheap excuse for a GM he is. he inherited a team full of extremely talented draft picks and got Pronger and Niedermayer handed on a silver plate. and then he sold out this young talent to have a shot on a cup. and to pay Bertuzzis, Schneiders etc. I'd rather see him swallowing this and being forced to bail the Ducks out of this mess. it took years to Nonis to clear the crap Brian left in Vancouver. why should yet another GM do what Brian f* up?

I wonder if He will take any of His current players with Him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Fletcher is that dumb to touch Burke. this guy is a pest who comes to rebuilt teams and sells their assets out leaving a mess behind. just ask Vancouver. or (soon) Ducks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Yeah, it's awesome. I hope they keep sucking it hard. Actually, that wasnt true, they deserved to win the Cup, and if Burke wasnt the GM they'd be in a better situation right now.

Duck Guy 86 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) They just dont want it enough.. I am a big believer in that the team that wins just wanted it more. They need to want it like they they did in 06/07. Edited October 23, 2008 by Duck Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12Newf 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 check this out: 3. Anaheim – Cap payroll: $56,073,333 Cap Space: $626,667 • Sometimes-retired/sometimes-captain Scott Niedermayer leads with a $6.75 million cap hit • Getzlaf, Perry, Kunitz, Pronger and Giguere take up almost $27 million Anaheim faces big cap problems moving forward. Only seven players currently on the NHL roster are signed for next season and they account for about $32.5 million in cap space. Granted, those players include three top-six forwards, a top defenseman and a No. 1 goalie, but Burke – or whoever is GM next season – will essentially have to build an entire team for a little more than $20 million. Not an easy task. The Hockey News Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
