I like the fact that Burrish was scratched for like the last 3 games in the series, yet he comes out all dressed up in "his hockey suit" like he was actually part of the win. What a tool bag. At least Pronger played.

From the HF Boards: "I love the people who post crap saying Burish can't say this because he isn't a "good enough hockey player" or whatever. Based on that logic we should just shut down HFBoards. Who here has the right to say bad things about anyone in the NHL? After all, they are better than we are, so therefore our opinions don't matter. If Adam Burish isn't allowed to comment on Chris Pronger because Pronger is an All-Star and Burish is a scrub, then we aren't allowed to comment on Adam Burish because he is in the NHL and we aren't. Talk about double standards."

Q: Say, Adam Burish, I see your team has just won the Stanley Cup. Where are you going next? A: Some other team next season!

Not a compliment. Our PK was outstanding this year, we don't need any improvement here; and for the record, I don't believe Burish is an upgrade over anyone we have on the PK right now. Yes, badly. A lot of guys can do that better than him. So he's not Aaron Downey. +1 for Burish, I guess. Decent enough for his career PPG to be 0.13. Congratulations. For the sake of the team, I hope not.

Well, that is easy to explain, this is basically another source of Hawks info because we here at LGW as well as our fans around the world, also known as The Red Wings Nation are the most Hockey knowledgeable fans in the world, so its no wonder you come here to learn stuff about your own team. You certainly aren't going to learn much about it hanging around the streets of Chicago and it's suburbs or talking with other "fans" like Jim Belushi and Vince Vaughn, who only show up to games when the team wins, where were they about 10 years ago? Same place you were I would imagine. But please, come, stay, pull up a chair, because next year when you are sans 5 of 6 of your important players, you will need to learn all you can here because odds are 3/4's of the fans that are celebrating right now wont even remember what icing is... Sure will be nice to see the like of Madden, Burish, Neimi, Ladd, Hjalmarsson & Eager amongst others playing somewhere else. Reports out of Toronto even suggesting Sharp and Versteeg may even be on the block, so you're gonna have a great team next season. But, hey, there's always the Bears, right? Hang in there, 50 years isn't that long to wait (again)

Let me get this straight... 1) I say the factual statement that Burish is a scrub compared to Pronger, and would most probably lose in a fight against him, despite Burris's bravado. 2) You call me out and accuse me of hypocrisy through means of sarcasm 3) I respond that if we can't critique players, there is no point to this forum, as we are doing exactly what you previously chastised. That's how I see it, if I'm somehow missing something please take the time to elaborate, instead of making another account as a sockpuppet to argue this fact. There is a reason why you have a resounding -6 on your post, without me even negging it.

I'm guessing this only made Pronger flash that annoying gap-toothed grin. I get that it's just a lighthearted quote from a guy who just won the Cup. Pronger doesn't fight much, but could still likely tune up Burish, who won't even be remembered in this league in 10 years. And as for the other discussion going on in this thread, to me there is a big difference between a hockey fan ripping on some player on an internet board, or even yelling it at a game, and a hockey player ripping on a fellow player while being interviewed on television. Without Pronger, the Flyers don't even make the playoffs, let alone the Cup finals. Without Burish, the Hawks... have a few less goals against?

LOL at a Hawks fan visiting a Red Wings forum the day after his team wins the Cup. Even when they win the Cup, they're more concerned with the Red Wings. Hawks fans are such a joke.

Back on topic, I laughed when I first saw the clip, but in retrospect, it was a pretty low thing for him to say. To Burish: You just won the Stanley Cup, beating the man you're being asked about. Show some respect and be a good winner. You don't have to like Pronger (I certainly don't), but a simple "no comment" with a chuckle would have gotten your point across. Not only did you just put a huge target on your back for the next time you play against Pronger, you also you showed a large lack of (wait for it) class by berating a defeated opponent. Not cool. Don't get me wrong. I'm not outraged or disgusted by this, and I'm sure he regrets saying it today once the euphoria of winning the Cup wore off some. I just don't think that's the way a professional should handle himself... But it sure was funny.

You sure seem to be making it one. I'm sorry for giving my opinion about a subject, I thought that's what this board was for. Also, I don't really think you truly understand the definition of Irony, as I never insinuated Burish is a scrub in comparison to me, but rather, a scrub in comparison to the vast majority of the league. I guess I'm not allowed to say Lebda sucks either?

Do you see me calling players with far better hockey sense than me "the biggest idiot in the league" or talking s*** like I can beat someone up who I clearly can't? No? Then learn to take things in context. In comparison to Pronger, Burrish is a scrub player, and we all know that he would never challenge Pronger unless in the heat of adrenaline.

I love it when no name scrubs take shots at potential HOFers just because their team won. "I Might punch him" lol give me a break, Burrish would get wrecked.

Byfuglien was better than Toews during the entire run.

sarcasm detection fail

Crosby actually does play on the PK in critical situations. It's just his abilities are much better used on the offensive, and Pittsburgh has plenty of very good depth players that can effectively kill penalites. You do realize that Crosby averaged more PK time per game this season than Datsyuk did right? Since when did the amount of PK time become the sole determining factor of someone's two-way ability anyway?

I love how friggin emo everyone on this site is. LMAO.

Isn't Adam Burish the guy that tossed the octopus in that commercial the year the Wings beat them in the WCF? Isn't he also the guy who got in Lidstrom's face one game, which Lidstrom then proceeded to score right after? Just sayin', I guess. Well, Maltby isn't an agitator anymore. At least, not until a really big tournament like the conference or NHL finals. He hasn't been for a while. But you have so many Wings fans who are desperate for good old fashioned North American pound their faces in prove their penis is bigger toughness. Thus, the love for pretty any much any player on here who has that ability, even if they have nothing else.

Leafs and Kings in the Finals. Rematch of the 1993 WCF.

milbury is a prick.

It's from different perspectives though. A fan to player one, vs a player to player one. Your whole argument goes against your point too, as if you truly believe this then you are no longer allowed to say things such as "lebda sucks", or critique anyone at a higher level of any faucet at life than you. This is an illogical point of view, and takes away all the observational fun that this board is meant to promote. I'm going to bookmark this thread, and save it for the next time you berate any player. Fan to Player critique is different than player to player. Have fun never being able to say a player made a bad giveaway, since I'm sure you never could have done better.

I have always wanted to see Patrick Sharp in a Wings jersey. I was hoping this would be more of an option but it looks like they are willing to roll with the same team they had last year.
