Burke started it, and has apparently attacked Lowe in the press repeatedly. Lowe finally exploded.

The Lowe/Burke dustup was pretty damn funny. Lowe had obviously kept a lot of feelings bottled up there. grin


I think they're both acting real immature. Obviously, Burke hates Lowe for how he got Penner and Lowe hates Burke for losing Pronger to the Ducks right after Pronger took the Oilers to the Finals and then seeing Pronger win the Cup for Burke. Just imagine if Burke goes to Toronto, then we'll have two whining GM's in Canada!
Agreed, but for the sake of argument that wasn't the first time Lowe attempted to "steal" a player. He did the same thing with Thomas Vanek and the Sabres had no choice but to match the offer and Vanek ended up being paid, what, $9 or 10 million last season?

Well at least Burke has got Bettman on his side.

Meh, i tend to side with Lowe in this matter. It's not like it was the first time anyone had ever tended an offersheet to an restricted free agent, ya know?

Burke is one of the most annoying guys in the game.

San Jose and Pittsburgh are playing twice this year. The Sharks are still the only team that Crosby has failed to record a point against. Let's keep the streak alive!

And if you remember, Crosby didn't play in that game. I'd be impressed if he scored a point against them while he was out with his bum ankle.

You're right he didn't play in that game. But he did play in this game. wink
