Nice vid and do you pin?
I like how Gary Bettmen is the one Florida fan.
Love the Peanuts Xmas tree
I was there at that Florida game….so much fun yelling that at the top of my lungs š¤£š¤£š¤£
I hate that movie.
Smug…Ron Wilson…no way…
So the fans fired Wilson. Got it. Burke was always overrated.
Burke actually did Wilson two favours, one was giving him the contract extension mid-season, and the other was firing him just over two months later to relieve him from his coaching misery in Toronto.
These are great
Love these videos. I wasnāt aware of the Ron Wilson situation in Toronto. He became a tired act in San Jose and the players stopped playing for him. Seems like a bit of a flip flop though on Torontoās side to extend his contract then fire him shortly after. Why was his contract extended in the first place? š¤£
So funny how toronto has been a tire fire for over 50 years now
And they say the fans can't get a coach fired?
Miss Burkie
Wow Mr Burke that positive negative positive thing is great
I'm gonna start doing that with my kids
MORE PLEASE
Burkie for prime minister
Wilson was so understanding and accepting of his firing because he already secured his contract extension. It's easier to walk away quietly and quickly when you're secure financially for the foreseeable future.

Are there really that many black leafs fans
oh boy now we know the wrong way to fire a coach
Never understood why Ron Wilson hated Kadri
