'Brass Bonanza' - The Sound of Hockey

'Brass Bonanza' - The Sound of Hockey

December 1st, 2020 I remember the first time I heard "Brass Bonanza." It was while I was playing NHL 94 on my Sega Genesis, something I wasted a lot of time doing as a kid. If I wasn't outside playing hockey in the driveway, I was inside trying to master the wrap around move (you know the one) against the pixelated versions of Patrick Roy or Ed...
Brian Burke Feels the Pittsburgh Penguins' Window to Win has Closed

Brian Burke Feels the Pittsburgh Penguins' Window to Win has Closed

November 29th, 2020 Brian Burke has never been shy to speak his mind and recently on an episode of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, the ex-general manager turned media personality did exactly that. The surprising part was he took a shot at the Pittsburgh Penguins. Burke, who admitted his love and admiration for Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford, was...
Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Lamoriello, Dubas, Burke & More

Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Lamoriello, Dubas, Burke & More

September 13th, 2020 In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs News & Rumors, I’ll focus on current and past general managers by sharing the news that Lou Lamoriello has been voted the NHL’s General Manager of the Year. I’ll share some rumors about Maple Leafs general manager (GM) Kyle Dubas’ growing reputation as a trader who asks a huge return...
Is the Maple Leafs' Goaltending the Team's Achilles Heel?

Is the Maple Leafs' Goaltending the Team's Achilles Heel?

December 7th, 2019 During the last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost two tough back-to-back games. Starting goalie Frederik Andersen played in both and couldn’t bring home a victory in either game. Related: Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Tavares, Goalies & Spezza During the first game, against a surprisingly good Philadelphia Flyers team,...
Canes Fans to Brian Burke: "Lighten Up"

Canes Fans to Brian Burke: "Lighten Up"

November 25th, 2018 The Carolina Hurricanes postgame celebrations have been ripped publicly by former NHL executive and current analyst, Brian Burke. In response, a chorus of "who cares what Burke thinks" resounds. There is a 100 percent certainty that the future of the Hurricanes' postgame celebrations will in no way be impacted by Burke, or by...
Kessel to Toronto Trade Revisited a Decade Later

Kessel to Toronto Trade Revisited a Decade Later

June 20th, 2018 Talks of trades swirl around Phil Kessel more frequently than a cloud of dust swirls around the Peanuts character Pigpen. With whispers and rumours circulating once again that the Pittsburgh Penguins sniper could be on the move, let's take a look back at the first deal the now 30-year-old two-time Stanley Cup winner was involved in...
Underappreciated Stajan Hits Milestone

Underappreciated Stajan Hits Milestone

March 21st, 2018 The world of sports is often a world of "what have you done for me lately?" Big trades are often followed by big regrets, and quite often players brought over in big swaps are the subject of doubts, criticisms and even resentment from fans and management alike. Matt Stajan joined the Calgary Flames in January 2010 as part of the...
Kadri Has Become a 2-Way Threat

Kadri Has Become a 2-Way Threat

January 25th, 2017 I remember the NHL's 2009 Entry Draft like it was yesterday. Brian Burke, the brash and unapologetic hockey mind, was the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs were fresh off of a season that saw them finish 12th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 34-35-13. They again missed the playoffs, but this time around,...
Trading Hamilton Simply Outrageous

Trading Hamilton Simply Outrageous

December 2nd, 2016 Drafted ninth overall by Boston in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Dougie Hamilton had a bright future ahead of himself with the Bruins. Expected to supplant an aging Zdeno Chara, Hamilton was pegged as a future top-pairing, number one defenseman, and a young player around which a winning franchise could be built and sustained. Standing...
Hamilton Update, Landeskog Out & More News

Hamilton Update, Landeskog Out & More News

November 30th, 2016 Flames' Hamilton Not Being Traded Calgary Flames defenseman Dougie Hamilton has been the subject of rampant trade speculation of late, but the organization put an end to it on Wednesday. Flames general manager Brad Treliving and president of hockey operations Brian Burke each addressed the rumors in separate appearances before the...
Flames Camp Opens With Little Progress on Gaudreau's Contract

Flames Camp Opens With Little Progress on Gaudreau's Contract

September 27th, 2016 You'll have to excuse Brad Treliving, GM of the Calgary Flames, if he's not feeling the World Cup of Hockey hype right now. Mikael Backlund’s concussion, sustained at the tournament, combined with the stellar performance (4 pts in three games) of unsigned puck magician Johnny Gaudreau leaves the Flames with lots of unanswered...
Burke: College Free Agent Impact is 'Insignificant'

Burke: College Free Agent Impact is 'Insignificant'

August 20th, 2016 Newly-signed New York Ranger winger Jimmy Vesey stole headlines all month as he opted to test free agency coming out of his senior season at Harvard. The college free agent is often a coveted thing from a management standpoint, because if you can land a Vesey for nothing, that's found money. However, each year, there are relatively few...
The Dennis Wideman Comedy of Errors Finally Concludes

The Dennis Wideman Comedy of Errors Finally Concludes

March 12th, 2016 On a Wednesday night in late January, Dennis Wideman collided with linesman Don Henderson in the midst of the second period of a game between the Calgary Flames and the Nashville Predators. On a Friday afternoon in mid-March, after missing 19 games, Wideman's exile from the National Hockey League finally came to an end. When came between...

Brian Burke Will Be Grand Marshal of Calgary Pride Parade

September 4th, 2015 The Calgary Flames will be the first NHL team to substantially march in a Pride parade when Brian Burke, President of Hockey Operations for the Flames, serves as the Calgary Pride Parade's Grand Marshal. The parade will take place on Sunday, September 6 and will feature many players from the Flames as well as a number of Canadian...
Brian Burke's Terrible Tenure as Leafs GM - Part 2

Brian Burke's Terrible Tenure as Leafs GM - Part 2

April 6th, 2015 Last week I began the task of reviewing Brian Burke's term as the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I thought, now that it's been three seasons since he's been gone, that it would be a good time to go over his work and analyze how he did. I was a big Burke supporter while he was here - I believed in his vision and I...
