Lowe Rips Burke

[Vladiator 116]

Let these guys feud as much as they want to. It's kind of pathetic that it will make front page news in Edmonton and have a rare chance of even making the news in any newspaper in Cali.

great to hear Lowe finally speaking his mind and saying what we all know.

and because he is a Canadian team manager we may finally see TSN taming

their man love to Burke and stop putting their noses into his brown hole.

Lowe has valid points. Burke is a goddamn media primadonna who gets

what he wants because he whines all the time. he is overrated and it's

perfectly true that he left a disaster in Vancouver and will leave the same

mess in Anaheim once he leaves (I certainly hope it's a team like Toronto

or Philly).

Bettman says, "Knock it off."

Odd that Bettman didn't say anything about this whole thing during the whole time Burke continued to mercilessly disparage Lowe and the Oilers. Yet the moment Lowe says something about poor little ol' Burkie Poo, Bettman intervenes.

Try to be a little less transparent next time, Gary. You're becoming much too obvious.

i think people need to stop thinking Bettman is BFF with burke it is just a ridiculous conspiracy theory and i dont remember burke insulting the fan base in EDM and all i can say about Lowe is How many stanley cups has he won WHILE A GM???? nuff said and a couple good points brought on by the ducks blog... Burke brought in Niedermayer, Selanne and Pronger, not to mention Beauchemin, Kunitz, Marchant, May and O’Donnell. Burke has brought in 16 of the 26 players on the stanley cup winning team...ya Burke is a TERRIBLE GM... <_< and i like how lowe said the ducks nver get on the sports page of newspapers it is obvious he does not pick up copys of the Orange county register and LA times. ZOMG THE DUCKS HAD A BAD YEAR THAT MEAN BURKIE SUCKS AND THE DUCKS WILL SUCK FOREVEER CAUSE THEY ARE NOT CALLED THE DETROIT RED WINGS

Burke brought in Niedermayer, Selanne and Pronger, not to mention Beauchemin, Kunitz, Marchant, May and O’Donnell.

and traded away vast majority of Ducks assets and young talent.

just check Ducks depth chart and look how many players were drafted

by Anaheim. and those few valuable there were not by Burke.

I'm not saying he's a bad GM but people tend to forget team development

is not about making total sell-outs for a single shot at the cup. even if

it was succesful

for curious readers:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/roster/?team=Ana

Getzlaf and Perry being the single two regular players in Ducks

roster who have been drafted by the team. the rest is acquired

by trades. which is pretty strange if you consider how high were

Ducks picks in recent years

Wings are pretty extreme counter example here:

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/roster/?team=Det

yet, despite low picks the team has huge amount of "home" grown

prospects. speaks something about GM-ing, huh?

Uhh, whats BFF?

Burke has made himself into a bit of a spectacle, with his attitude, and along the way he also has made himself an easy guy to dislike. And this is a Red Wing site, meaning to a degree it certainly will be anti-Ducks in general.
