That is too bad. What do we have to wait, another 3 years for a chance?

![]() I am surprised the Burkes didnt try for it I believe that they kind of changed the rules about bidding after apparently I think somewhere in Saskatchewan they lost like $750k or so running it and so they dropped the team guaranteeing so much profit for the CHL for it . I remember reading something about that . The time for it to be here would have been 2018-19-20 when we had a good team and the barn was rather new still. My logic behind it is it did not make financial sense for the Burkes to do it and cannot blame them if that was the case Good to see Saginaw get it especially with the exceptional player who will get promoted like crazy I am sure. It is embarrassing to this franchise that the clown even bothered to submit a bid with this joke of a team he runs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes, the Burkes only had a playoff team every year there was a playoffs under their ownership.
Six of those seasons were played in an outdated and undersized arena which severely limited revenue. About half of the playoffs their teams were in made it to at least the second round. They only had two seasons where they made it to the OHL finals. They had zero seasons where their teams finished bottom four. But I guess you are right, they never tried. (insert sarcasm here) I'm not saying that the Burkes were perfect or were geniuses, but they were head and shoulders above what we have now. But at least our new owner put in a bid for the Memorial Cup that had a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. |
