Let me know your thoughts on this big decision to change Penguins Management
Hey Top Shelf, you may want to lay some prep work on the Leafs cleaning house by next week when the Lightening beat them out in the first round for he umpteen time. LOL!
For a fiery ex-goalie, Ron Hextall has been a snooze of a GM in Philly and in Steeltown. His roster build processes were tortoise slow and ineffective.
As for Burkie, it won’t be long until he’s back at Hockey Night In Canada.
The beauty of this whole situation is that the wild picked up Billy G from the pens. He's made a lot of great moves for the cap strapped wild
No shock on this one, long time coming. Would have happened even if they made the playoffs. Hextall has a proven track record of being a lawsy GM, and Burke hit his peak 15 years ago. Going to be tough fixing the mess they left behind, Trouble is, if Pens want guys like JT Miller or Gibson from the Ducks, they're again trading out 1st round picks. Crosby won't allow a rebuild, so they'll just spin their wheels in the mud for awhile.
Brian Burke is way more concerned about turning everything about gay pride then hockey. He needs to be President of the LGBTQ, not a hockey team
What did Burke even do exactly?
I thought Sidney and Malkin were the best players in the world
I wonder if this guy might get more views, by making one extremely simple change… smiling.
Brian Burke is such a scumbag that the Penguins missing the playoffs is worth it for him being fired from yet another team.
Aging core , all good things come to an end
Brian Burke is gone too! Oh this just gets better and better. I was hoping at least Ron Hextal would be fired, but this is a bonus.
How the Penguins missed the playoffs reminds me of another You Tube video, search for "Brian Spencer Penguins Are Incompetant Little Birds".
I know Burke did not know what he was doing in Toronto, not surprised by this.
Rumour is they are getting Dubas.
Brian Burke? Whoever hired him should be fired.
Bye bye burk lol maybe if you had of done your job instead of worrying so much about forcing every player to participate in your rainbow night lol looks good on ya grease ball😂
Yeah the Pittsburgh Penguins can still compete for a Stanley Cup with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang, they have retool the bottom 6 and abit on of the defense but the big issue is in net, and the Penguins got to get a new starting goalie and backup.
I mean, sometimes hiring the star as manager works out, and sometimes it doesn’t. Detroit is slowly coming out of its dumpster fire under Yzerman, but it will take another year or two before they are competitive. And Luke Robitaille brought the first two Stanley cups to the LA Kings managing them.
Burke already has his tie undone and sipping his Bud Light laughing how he managed to fool another NHL for as long as he did.
I'm not shocked since during a lopsided game vs Edmonton the fans chanted "Fire Hextall." Makes me wonder how many moves Burke rejected, but Sullivan wanted them to approve.
This have to happen. They need to think about the reconstruction and you have to do it with a fresh management team.
yoink dubas from toronto if he doesnt re sign with the leafs
Hextall and Burke are the equivalent to Burt and Ernie.
Sooooo many bad deals letting Tanev and McCann go and protecting Carter and Blueger. Then trading Marino for Ty Smith. Then adding Petry so many bad moves. I still believe they could bounce back if they let Carter, Dumo and Petry go. Then try to get younger the top 6 is still excellent. They just need more speed and grit. Not Big Slow guys. Heckstall and Burke wanted size and sully wanted speed I figured it was never gunna work.
I believe Pittsburg lost to Chicago in Pittsburg. They lost at home which is considerably worse to be essentially eliminated in front of their owns fans and in the arena they know better than anyone. Good video though. CMN.
Hextall saw the higher ranked NYR acquire tarasenko and Kane and responded with granlund and bonino…. Wasted a solid season from the core 3 and top 6.
