Apparently he's still on the ice at the hockey school where he will meet with the media shortly....
 
Hopefully while he's talking Burke will come in and push him out of the way "Sorry James, I have a trade to announce..."

"First of all we didn't board for 20 minutes (right) and then we get on the plane and they made us sit there on the runway for 40 minutes. We had to sit there. Oh really, what happened next? Did you fly through the air incredibly like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero? Wow, you're flying! It's amazing! Everybody on every plane should just constantly be going, oh my God, wow (yes) you're flying, you're, you're sitting in a chair in the sky"

"Now you're the third most handsome man on the Leafs."

"Who are the first two?"

*Points to self "I like to think [I'm] 1A, 1B.... and then Bozak."

YES!
 
Lupul rocks... His looks aside, could one say with Burke gone, he's ?the face of the franchise?? I'd argue he is and really, perhaps no GM should be.

I wouldn't at all be against Lupul being the face of the team. He's a cool guy, can carry himself, puts up points and has an incredible comeback story - one that I think he deserves more recognition for.

Looking back, it's probably true that Burke was too much of the face of the franchise. The face of the franchise should be players, not the GM. Just how bad was it? Sportsnet.ca had a lengthy article on the eve of the 2011/2012 season last fall previewing the year for the 7 Canadian teams. The graphic they used to go along with the article?

oh boy. Seriously how is Phaneuf not the face, for better or for worse?  Phaneuf or Kessel?

The Phaneuf stare to me is what I think of first, not Burke.
