from Paul Hunter of the Toronto Star,
The team, retooled by Burke over the summer, had won only six of its first 25 games before facing Montreal.
“I’m a great fan like all of our other millions of fans are and we want to see a winning team but we also have patience,” said Tanenbaum, adding that he is “110 per cent” behind Burke’s rebuilding efforts.
“I’m patient but anxiously awaiting a Stanley Cup here one day.”
Richard Peddie, president and CEO of MLSE, said Burke and his front office team would have as much time as needed to get the team back on track. Burke has been on the job for just over a year.
“I have complete faith in Brian and (assistant) David Nonis and (coach) Ron Wilson that they’re going to turn this around. We’re all disappointed in where we’re at today. But we knew the fixing job was not an easy one,” said Peddie.
“He’s the last general manager I’m hiring. He’s safe in my tenure that’s for sure.”
