Hello, Hello, Anyone There?

from CTVNEWS,

Brian Burke’s on-and-off relationship with the hockey media in Toronto continued on Tuesday as the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager took issue with the line of questioning from a Toronto radio host before abruptly hanging up in the midst of an interview.

Questioned about a variety of topics from his off-ice initiatives to the firing of head coach Ron Wilson, it was a question about Burke’s own job security was the final straw. When host John Moore of Toronto’s News Talk 1010 asked Burke he felt he was ‘close to the door,’ the NHL executive went on the defensive.

“I wish you’d told me before you asked me to do this interview that that was going to be your last question,” Burke said. “A nice little cheap shot before you get off the air.”

When Moore persisted and re-asked his question, Burke was short with his response. “No, I don’t [worry about getting dismissed],” Burke said just moments before hanging up. “I think it’s in ignorant question, and a gutless one, too.”
