This March, 1996 Global Sportsline segment deals with the dismissal of coach Pat Burns by the Toronto Maple Leafs. GM Cliff Fletcher, interim coach Nick Beverly, and several players are interviewed, followed by comments from Burns himself.
After that, a several minute retrospective of Burns's time in Toronto is presented. It's kind of amazing that he was let go because of two poor months. The Leafs had started out the 95-96 campaign quite well and were still clinging to a playoff spot when Burns was fired, despite only 3 wins in their previous 22 games. For those interested, the music looped behind the look-back is "Welcome To The Pleasuredome" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
