Yeah, but I just can't see the playoff performance as being his fault. That's a coach / players thing. They do great in the regular season and then fall apart... the coach should be remedying that... not the GM.
The only thing about the playoffs I could fault him for is Cloutier. He's injured himself the last 3 playoff seasons in a row... as much as no one can be at fault for that, it's still a liability and Burke should have been finding a way to find a more dependable goalie.
But other than that, the playoffs are out of his hand. He built a team that should do well. They're just not.
Bertuzzi being suspended didn't help this season on that, which is entirely out of his hands.
