From Erin Nicks at The Universal Cynic,
Anyway, back to Burns. The Senators need someone who can crack the whip and get this franchise back to a defensive mindset. It may only be a short-term solution for a couple of years (Burns’ act can wear thin), but it’s better than watching Bryan Murray wear two hats. He’s currently the right choice, which obviously means the Senators won’t get him. And don’t talk to me about Bob Hartley, okay? I want a coach who knows about building a foundation—I don’t want a guy behind the bench who wears it. (Combine the over-gelled hair and the eerily smooth skin tone, and you’ve got a walking corpse running the team.)
