Let's go leafs
I'm a Leafs fan Go Leafs go
Why does burke look like he wants to kill me?
2:47 what you came for
Miss these guys…and you you know what..like players..fans are the same way ..it's better to be excited than fearful…
He’s right
The game has changed, Burke didn't. This isn't the "hit everyone" era anymore, this is a game of speed and stick handling.
Calling Robertson's skillset as soft skill just shows how he has never watched a game he's played, or even read a scouting report.
Being tough is more than laying big hits and Robertson is the poster boy of that kind of skilled play
Not enough pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence
Nick has been the best forward in camp
Burke looking for attention
Cameron is simply stunning. Wow
you'd have to figure robertson would be traded for the best Dee you could get.
There’s no way they don’t start Robertson…
I am shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that Brian Burke thinks this. Not to worry, Burkie, Keefe is moving us in the same backwards direction you were sending the franchise.
Yo nick Robertson should just put him on the fourth line get him to be like makar
trade Nylander and start Robertson
Phase 3 is bs. Outrageous
Also see: Why Brian Burke doesnt have a job in the NHL anymore
Caroline, the height of your outside brows are perfect, make a slight adjustment to the insides up 1/8".
Keep Burke away from the draft..he just rips the kids. Imagine working your entire life to live out your dream and just to have Burkie knit pick and find a flaw and say it while your walking to the stage 😂..do better Sportsnet..there has to be someone who could use the money..
Why Burke wouldn't play Robertson? Because he's 3-4 decades behind the game.
Personally I think that Robertson has enough potential to start game1
I agree with Burke. It's great to have Robertson at camp to get him up to speed, but he's not ready for NHL hockey let alone NHL playoff hockey. Not worth injuring the kid.
Burke thinks the nhl is still dominated by tough guys. This guys a fossil
Maybe JHockey sint with his usual lines mates because they sucked ass "last year" (im not sure what to call it). Well not sucked just not a top 10 first line by any means.
Why is he wearing an undone tie at home…embarrassing.
Wow someone in Leafs media with a smart hockey opinion? Thats a rare occurrence for SN.
Burke, why are we still having to listen to this blow hard. This guy is a useless loud mouth tool!
Of course we can lip wag all day, about The Leafs.
But since nobody has seen Nick Robertson and or The Leafs, it’s only an opinion.
BUT ! without seeing and going by what I am reading., I would put Robertson in Johnson’s spot.
Just to have a look see.., ya never know do ya !!
Is Burke the gm anymore, no, there's your awnser , null and void 🤣
If they dress Robertson and lose that’s 0 playoff round wins since the Shanny Plan started with the Marleau deal set to be wiped with a deep first round pick the pressure is on the Leafs to win this playin did Flurey work in 1989 he did can Robertson mirror that in number 89 maybe but Shanny Dubas and Keefe have to start showing in the playoffs trade him to the Sault with SDA I’d be wary of CBJ these guys are gonna be ready to play good luck leafs…
because he is jealous of Dubas's drafting
Let the kid play
why brian burke would trade for Phaneuf and hinder a franchise for years should be your next video with this monolith head
Wouldn’t necessarily trust Burke’s comments considering he is an ass GM
Guy wouldn't start Mcdavid if he was rookie.
