Brian Burke sat down Friday with the Toronto Star to share his feelings after his firing 48 hours earlier. He was as shocked as many hockey observers were.
Burke isn't playing the sad sack. The article notes he was walking about with no sunglasses or hat and was dressed in a Providence College sweatshirt -- his alma mater.
He also says he isn't going anywhere, except maybe to the New England Patriots playoff game against Houston this weekend. But he's planning to stay in Toronto -- and get to work as a senior adviser.
But as interesting as his firing were the days after, as Deadspin notes from reading the interview, and enjoy the Canadian spellings:
If the double dose of coffee wasn't enough of a treat, Burke took in a matinee showing of "Jack Reacher." Said Burke: "First time in my life I've ever been to a midweek matinee. First time I've ever gone to a movie alone."
Burke will talk more Saturday, when he plans a news conference.
