I didn't care for his tough guy routine in the past but it has grown on me. I like this guy's personality with all the changes we've been witnessing in pro sports. It's refreshing.
@@jon8004 yeah, big difference between straight shooter and tough guy. lol.....that said he did throw down with some real heavy weights when he was a player, probably a lot tougher than james here in the yt comments. lol
Never met a microphone he didn’t like It’s ludicrous that he had immediate availability after being fired. His old school gruff style is over played and he might be the most pretentious GM ever.
Oh look Brian Birch is getting his ted Kennedy degree from johns speech again....go get caroline Kennedy's daughter to redo the outlaws house for her law degree...welcome the lawsuit..ill take all the properties...fuall
One of the most hated and unlikeable GM's in Leafs history... Petty should have been fired as well for hiring Burke. Making Phaneuf captain was one of the worst moves EVER... again probably one of the worst captains in Leafs history. All in all... Burke was horrible and the team went backwards.
If you came here just to see BB tearing Simmons a new one, it's at 17:39. You're welcome.
best part of the entire press conference
MVP
My favourite quote of the conference is him trashing Simmons. Beautiful.
Yup. Simmons was obviously bullied as a kid. He just has a face you wanna smash with your fist.
Class guy. Takes responsibility for his part.
I didn't care for Burke, but it was worth it just for the 2 seconds of him tell Steve Simmons to basically F off.
One of the all-time great exit pressers. He knocked that out of the park.
BB even voice masked his magnificent putdown of Steve Simmons.
Here we are 10 years later...... Maybe Burke wasn't the problem. 🤣

I. Never considered that perspective. The. Way teams are being dictated by players is disgusting.
Absolutely.
It's interesting to see just before the press conference started just to see how it works.
Never met a microphone he didn’t like

I like Burke, but why the hell have an exit press conference? What's the point?
because he loves the media attention
PJ LeConte EGO
Took it like a champ. Well done.
Wtf this is weird. He gets fired and needs to answer questions. Utter stupidity
It is funny. Usually when people are canned they sprint out the door. Lol
let’s go get em tonight boys Go Leafs Go

Such a class act Burkie. Sure loved his time in Calgary.
Poor Berkey he's always getting to a team that's being sold, pens are the latest on his resume.
Leafs needed to get 1 point in the last 11 games to make the playoffs.
Lost 11 in a row. 😂
who is the reporter, Steve, at 17:50 and why does Burke not like him.
Steve Simmons
Toronto Star
The guy is an absolute clown that has no boundaries as a reporter and an overly negative pessimistic scribe style
Oooh rimshots
There's an alternate reality where Trump acted like this after he lost.

Hate to break this to you, but the *Toronto Maple Leafs* have been going backwards since 1968, Einstein. 🙄🙄
@@why-why-whywhywhy They're going up in the past few seasons.
@@lukaz3336 blew a 3-1 lead to the Habs. Never forget.
Love Burkie. He's so brutally honest. How an you not respect that? Unless you're a snowflake lol
Anyone else here after they read Burke's law? Lol
