Good Night, Sweet Prince

I never linked to it or mentioned it, perhaps because I took it for granted, but for the last two months, the best hockey comedy on the interwebs was Fake Brian Burke's Twitter account. And now it's gone.

You can read the whole back story here, but in summary, a Maple Leafs fan and blogger has been posting Twitter updates as Toronto GM Brian Burke. It's some of the funniest shit I've ever read. The first link up there has every post with a few highlighted as favorites. My personal faves:

- Ran into (HockeyBuzz blogger) Eklund last night. He kept grilling me about trades and rumors. Finally I just paid him for the pizza and slammed the door.

- Can we just pull our goalie for an extra attacker during the shootout?

- Is every coach who loses to us this season going to be fired? Because that could end up being as many as four or five more guys.

- (Toronto goalie) Pogge was so upset after last night's game that he threw himself in front of my car - but it went through his legs! So I backed over him.

I left out a bunch so be sure to check out more at Down Goes Brown. Thanks for the laughs.
