It's About Time...

On Friday, Kevin Lowe finally responded to Brian Burke's comments that have been going on for almost a year now. Burke, fans, and everyone in the NHL should have seen this coming. Where should I begin on this? Brian Burke, over the past year, has reminded me of an elementary school bully, but Friday Kevin Lowe was the kid that finally popped him in the nose.

Lowe gave Burke a lashing that was long overdue, attacking not only his intelligence as a GM *cough* Bertuzzi *cough* but his ability to avoid scrutiny for destroying the franchises that he has controlled. Before the comments on Friday no one really noticed that without Nonis robbing Florida of Roberto Luongo that franchise would have been in the running for Steve Stamkos. Yes he brought in the Sedin sisters, however, Sedins aside what great heights did he bring to Vancouver? None.Calling Burke a media junkie is being too polite, I think he could have more accurately been called an attention whore, and nothing less.

He's a blow hard jackass. Apparently Burke has forgotten about Bobby Clarke's offer sheet that grossly inflated Ryan Keslers salary in Vancouver. Maybe he just chooses to ignore that one.

So where does the feud go now? Will the national guard be called into Anaheim when the Oilers make their first visit of the year? Celebrity boxing match perhaps? I'm not sure what the answer is but it's going to be fun to find out.
