"The Sun has great value if you own a puppy or a parakeet" — Brian Burke Tuesday on Sportsnet’s Hockey Central.

If anybody should know about icing a team of dogs that was for the birds, it should be Brian Burke.

For a guy who led his team to 29th place in the NHL last season, and who traded away two potential first-round lottery draft picks, perhaps the Leafs loud-mouth GM should criticize his own performance.

But Bombastic Brian loves to talk. He’s got some good lines, too. Scribes love Burkie. Better than a boring GM.

But it’s time to put up or shut up.

This is why Burke is here and whether he likes it or not the Toronto Sun, and our team of amazing sports writers, editors and photographers, is the go-to place for Leafs fans. One thing the Sun, which will turn 39 next month, has never had on its front page is a picture of a Maple Leafs captain holding up a Stanley Cup.

The Toronto Sun

is full of shit. Let’s go out and throw another attack at Burke and the Leafs without addressing the fact that their cover was un-called for and made them look even more like shit. Pure class.

The Leafs lack of a cup win is no reason to photoshop a pacifier into Kadri’s mouth to fabricate outrage when he’s actually been taking his demotion like a man.

Fuck the Sun.

Bobby Ryan...can he be acquired?
blurr1974: No.

In other words...

they played the “la la la 1967” card. O.O

It’s a good thing I already despise that rag.

They copied this part off of PPP. Because we all know that the go-to place for Leafs fans is right here :)

This guy “Norman” in the comments is quite a charmer. Apparently he has insider information that tells him Burke is a puppet of MLSE. Also, he apparently has a time machine that allows him to see a future in which the Kessel trade was an “unmitigated disaster”.

I wish I had these powers :(
