Hockey Profiles:

Brian Burke:

Talks about integrity and does the opposite. Is very convincing, even though he knows little of what he is talking about. Was a loser with the Whalers. Took over Vancouver and Anaheim when they were at their peak and they went downhill from there. Now is with Toronto and making all sorts of predictions concerning play-offs and Stanley cups, which just are not happening. Talked all summer about toughness and defense produces winning hockey and to date are 3oth overall, with the worsts start in franchise history. Yet, demands a high salary for doing it. What a joke that is.

Wayne Gretzky:

The greatest goal scorer of all time. As a player, he was a superstar. As a coach he was useless. The salary he demanded for coaching was given to him because of his name only. With his credentials had he been someone else, he would not have been overpaid and probably wouldn't have gotten the job.
