Brian Burke is on the clock.
Forget the four years of playoff failure, a period in which his Maple Leafs team has lacked direction and cried out for consistency.
Forget the lack of big-time goaltending or a legitimate first-line centre.
And forget the bluster from the boss and the ripping rhetoric of his detractors.
