Larry Tanenbaum, the chairman of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment Ltd., said he "absolutely and totally" backs Burke Burke despite the Leafs' shockingly-slow start. The team, retooled by Burke over the summer, had won only six of its first 25 games before facing Montreal. "I'm a great fan like all of our other millions of fans are and we want to see a winning team but we also have patience," said Tanenbaum, adding that he is "110 per cent" behind Burke's rebuilding efforts. "I'm patient but anxiously awaiting a Stanley Cup here one day."
