Brian Burke's Relationship with Kevin Lowe to Change
Brian Burke's conference call with the media wrapped up this afternoon with Burke pulling no punches in his description of Kevin Lowe. Some highlights:
On the offer from Lowe:
I thought that was gutless. I have no problem with offer sheets. They're part of the CBA. But in my opinion, Edmonton has offered a mostly inflated salary for a player, and I think it's an act of desperation for a general manager who is fighting to keep his job
On whether he and Lowe speak often,
We used to, quite a bit.
On whether that will continue,
I have no idea
It honestly seems to me Burke is more steamed about the way Lowe went about this, or just the fact that Lowe did go about this, than he is about losing a hockey player, which as an Oiler fan is very bad news. Honestly, if any GM has the motivation to keep Kevin Lowe around it should be Burkie. I mean, that ring Kevin gave to him in the spring should be worth at least one tongue bite.
I guess they're just like every married couple though. Once Burke got that ring I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Can't take it away.

Burke can go cry his wee eyes out in the corner. What a baby! This wasn't personal, it's business. Watch The Godfather a few times Burkie.
Burkie's a whiner - no argument here.
I am always amazed how the business of hockey can so seamlessly mirror the relationship between a man and a woman.
I think it's important to note that I'm not going to make any comments about Burke acting like an irrational woman in this instance.
Yes be very careful....
But as a woman, I can say Burke is acting like he has PMS. Lowe needs to remember: keep your woman happy, compliment her and take her out for dinner! :)
