Burkie on Tim and Sid just said he thinks there is no problem of return to play. He came right out and said No . He said the players know it comes down to money and the NHL is trying to salvage lost revenues. He said players know that if they do not come back then next years revenue is going to be very bleak, Escrow will be much higher .

He calls it as it is. I like listening to him and he knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I liked doug mclean too, but burke is a bit better imo.

Yeah I like him too. Burkie definitely knows more. He is a nice change over Don Cherry . He was so overdue to be let go.

Cherry's time was coming yes but it was nice to see MacLeans true colors helping toss Cherry under the bus lol

Strombo just never got a decent shot IMO as it was time for MacLean to git gone as well.

I didn't like Strombo at all. I would prefer Duthie . Shorty would probably be very good at it also .

I don't even remember Strombo's time with the CBC tbh.
I tolerated Cherry like a senile uncle...or a few posters on here...i kid i kid

Always appreciated Burke's takes, even if i didn't agree with them.
It's strange that, aside from the Ducks he never really had much success after Vancouver in Toronto or Cgy.

World pace is strong today. Bangladesh surging past Canada to claim 17th place. I’d say South Africa will catch us within two weeks, but we’re still a top 20 nation. #gocanada

No way. He’s too good at play by play. Career wise I’m sure he’s hoping to follow Jim Houston’s path, but I hope he doesn’t. I love listening to him call 90% of Canuck games.

Don Cherry is a Canadian ice hockey commentator, retired professional hockey player/NHL coach who has a net worth of $14 million

you're a generous man Mr Neem.

Doug McLean really? Can’t stand him. Especially when he did his thing with Kipper both on tv and radio. Hated both of them.

Which is contradictory as it's been reported by the NHLPA that well over 80% of the players polled are ready to go. What 'guys' did Bieska talk to lol...

Kesler?

Bieksa will fit in nicely with the sports media.

Strombo was horrible. They tried to sell him to millennials, hipsters and skinny pants fuktards. A video dj slash womans talk show host who happens to be a hockey fan but a horrible fit all around.

Ya i like the gms and coaches usually cause they talk about things with a bit of a more interesting perspective.

A bit redundant no?

When Burkie started he was not that great, You could tell he wanted another shot at the NHL. He was holding back . Much better now.

I remember a few years back when Canucks kept drafting the same position over and over and some here said you can always trade one of them later. Here we are.

Toffoli & JV can play LW also.

Thanks Carol!




This right here is Benning’s problem. He can’t fathom how terrible his trade/signings will look beyond the moment he makes them.
