Brian Burke has often come across as a contradicting figure. Just this week he claimed he was not interested in obtaining the potential free agent services of Ilya Kovalchuk. So it took the combined forces of two Barilkosphere bloggers to get to the truth of the matter.
A shout out to Lt. D.G. Brown who's comedic writing skills are always set to awesome.
As the official videographer of the Barilkosphere I get some pretty sweet perks. One such perk was getting in to see the Toronto Maple Leafs Team Picture being taken.
I brought my camera along to catch the action and while searching through the B-Roll I found something I don't think anybody else caught on to.
When I was a kid (the Leafs sucked then too btw...) I would escape a Leaf loss by watching the Saturday morning cartoons. The fantasy world would take me away to a place where John Brophy wasn't a legitimate NHL coach and the Tom Kurvers trade never happened.
Because todays cartoons are terrible I started going over my old VHS tapes and came across a cartoon I don't ever remember seeing.
I was astonished at what I saw....and that the VHS was in 720p!
