Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke Responds to Pronger Suspension

[MrVJyoshi]

He is an idiot. Niel's hit wasn't nearly as bad. Plus Pronger is a repeat offender, why the hell is he only getting one game.

[mikeeey47]

@MrVJyoshi chris neil is a jk

[MrVJyoshi]

@mikeeey47 Chris Neil is probably the only enforcer today that could have played in the NHL of the 90s or 80s. Do you know why? Because he can do more than beat up people, he is a smart fore checker, can drive to the net and a good power play screener. This mayt sound strange but he is also a clean hitter. All his hits are hard and hurt opponents, but they are clean. He has questionable hits, but not suspendable ones. There fore your post is a joke.

[mikeeey47]

@MrVJyoshi not all hits ard clean man i saw him hit grbo in pre season pretty dirty to me maybe your right about him but still i stand by my post i don't care if its a joke i still don't like him

[MrVJyoshi]

@mikeeey47 That hit was a bad hit, not illegal, but one Niel could've avoided. Its one thing to say you don't like Niel, which is fine. But he ain't a joke., Sean Avery, Donald Brashear, Marty McSorley, and Brad Marchand are jokes

[mikeeey47]

@MrVJyoshi okay sorry hes not a jk but i rather watch niel that marchand i hate him and he is a jk

[Jasonishawtz]

@MrVJyoshi its Neil you dumbass.

[abc1000001]

Deflection does nothing. He tries to present another possible penalty and doesn't address Pronger's hit.

[cyber151]

Whats mind boggling is that after Prongers incident in the prior series, he wasnt given a game suspension, and then in a repeat incident, he only got 1. Oh right hes a star player and they get away with anything.

[stephen2767]

pronger is a dirty player, thats why he got suspended

[AntiJourney]

and neil isn't? C'mon wake up!

[stephen2767]

@AntiJourney did i say neil wasnt...? pronger has a history, they just let things slide because he is good, like Ovechkin and his knee on knee hits

[AntiJourney]

i ain't saying Pronger isn't alone in this! Neil is a rule breaker too!

[MrVJyoshi]

@AntiJourney Clean hitter, just because his hard hits cause injuries, doesn't mean they are illegal. Coimpare Niel to Mike Richards. Richards gives hard hits, but they "happen" to be in the head. Pronger delivers hard hits but they "happen" to be in the head.

[metalroulette]

look the author removed my comment about how the leafs would turn this around

you are all fags

[metalroulette]

I'm getting a London Knights Kadri jersey, he will be an allstar of the future and a pest for Sid the Bib, Malkin, he will be amazing and a pest, the complete Burke prodigy, Stalberg will be unstoppable, and Bozak is the 2nd coming of chris drury, the leafs will be unstoppable, keep talking haters

[metalroulette]

deathnoterocks101... NOW WHAT BITCH?

GO LEAFS GO

BITCH

[dc013]

Go where? To the worst record in NHL history? Thats about the only place they'll be going this year!

[babaganuse]

yea cause the leafs are 4 points out of a playoff spot with a game at hand. Worst team of all time. Your absolutely right. Man you should become a GM

[dc013]

You are right... still OUT of a playoff spot!

[metalroulette]

@dc013 eat my shit, keep talking, maybe the leafs will shut your fuckin mouth for good

[dc013]

Not likely, a hot streak doesn't mean they are any good. And so what? Toronto beat Ottawa... not exactly a team that strikes fear in anyone. How'd they do against Boston again?

[metalroulette]

@dc013 now what bitch?

[fieldmarshal46]

Always remember that Burke can't match Cups with Lowe.

6-1 people.

Fuck that porpoise Burke.

[babaganuse]

YOU DUMB FUCK

Lowe hasn't won a cup as a GM. Burke has, which makes him more successful. lowe was the better hockey player cause he won the stanley cup 6 times. What is Lowe's job right now, a player or GM? Oh right, he's a GM with no rings to show for it.

[fieldmarshal46]

Burke inherited Murray's team, you waste of life. That was a great deal, giving up all those picks for Kessel, eh? When the Leafs have a top five pick next summer and the one following, Chiarelli will have the biggest, shit-eating grin in the league. All thanks to stupidity from the most over-hyped and overweight GM in the NHL.

By the way, love the hypocrisy calling me a 'dumb fuck'. You're the one cheering the worst team in the league, dickface.

[babaganuse]

The kessel trade look great you cock smoker with him being a potential 50 goal scorer, and were 2 points out with a game at hand, Those picks don't mean shit if we make the playoffs plus we have a shit load of prospects, so those pick weren't mandatory. And don't be made that toronto makes more money than any team you cheer for and calling me stupid for cheering for them. Something called loyalty, and there's a reason toronto is the cent re of the hockey universe. You just a hater! Don't deny it

[Stevenio]

Wrong. Burke put together the whole defense of the Ducks team which was the main reason why they won the Cup.

He also got rid of Fedorov and his horrible contract. Dickface, lmao.

[PeteCore75]

most overrated GM in the leauge?

[deathnoterocks101]

the leafs are sooo lucky, brian burke is going to run that team into the sewer liek how he did in vancouver, he fluked out with the ducks...toronto,m beautiful city, shitty teams...GO OILERS, FLAMES, CANUCKS...

[ahmingah]

leafs are so lucky fuck man

[guilmon223]

@ahmingah you got that right

[gio8284]

sound like a bunch of bitter oiler faggets..So my question to you is how many times have u blowed off kevin Lowe??

[dmellis98]

HAHAHA.

[ethicomm]

So Brian, how many times have you and Bettman had sex? (with each other).

[ethicomm]

Brian Burke: drunk-with-power lawyer. He should go to NY and join his lawyer fuck-buddy, Gary Bettman.

[PTHoeksema]

Brian Burke should not be a respected man.

He can't even be a good sport and admit that Prongers hit was dirty. Go cry about it.

Pronger sucks.

[sensfan98]

Pronger's at it again. WHat a little bitch.

[KaSjFilms]

yeah, but so is chris neil.

[KaSjFilms]

yeah, but so is chris neil.

[bruceleedisciple]

Hahaha, you're just still bitter about last years finals.

[feadus]

pronger should have been suspended for more than one game, the NHL is a joke now a days

[15Heatley]

What an idiot burke is, trades Mcdonald for weight just to make room for an outdated defenseman who ain't going to play another season after this one, lmao, (incase any of u dumbasses don't know i mean niedermayer) I bet he would trade mcdonald even for a bag of pucks

[sinbinuniversity]

Burke looks like Donald Trump...YOU'RE FIRED!

[AntiJourney]

Oh man i like B B !He rules!

[MadonnasSpareVagina]

lmao@KrYl0nbLuE. The Ducks have the highest percentage of Canadian players in the NHL you fucking moron. Pronger is a cheap prick and always has been, in addition to being a pussy-whipped bitch, and Brian Burke has the most undeserved reputation in the NHL. He inherited a team already stacked and brought Pronger over..wow, what a mastermind. 4 mil a year for Bertuzzi then cries when Edmonton scoops Penner cause he painted his dumb ass into a corner for a has-been..lmfao.

[Aznazi88]

You're a real cunt you know that? And you're screen name is just disgusting to say the least

[pizzlemj]

Azazi88 SHUT THE FUCK UP!! you fuckin little douchebag. You need to be bitch slapped. Possibly some education and knowledge about hockey would help with your idiot comments you fucking mental midget.

[jagged22]

Neils hit was worse

[crosbysnumber1fan]

I agree with you...Prongers a pussy and I hate him...I hate Anaheim...no team from California should win the stanley cup,,,their not a hockey city they dont even get snow!

[pizzlemj]

Brian Burke do us all a favor and get out of hockey you annoying, whining dillusional sack of krap. Who the fuck do you think you are? You are an embarassment to the NHL

[jagged22]

If you consider assembling the team that won the 2007 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS an embarrasment then ya

[sensfan98]

Actually Bryan MURRAY assembled most of their team. He did a LOT of their drafting. Get your facts straight, don't just throw out ignorant crap.

[jagged22]

I KNOW!!!

Burke just brought Selanne, Pronger, S.Niedermayer, DiPenta, Odonnel, Beauchemin, May, Marchant, I'm preety sure he got Moen (Who scored game 1's gw. But yah Burke didnt do anything.

[MadonnasSpareVagina]

The only of those players who actually meant anything was Niedermeyer and to a lesser extent Pronger, and both of those deals fell into his lap. Now they got punted in the first round because Burke mortgaged the future for the past(Bertuzzi and Weight for Penner and Macdonald)and without Niedermeyer and Selanne next year he will be exposed for the fraud he always was.

[will81387]

Penner it's not is fault and mcdonald was traded for the salary cap!

[MadonnasSpareVagina]

and btw, Niedermeyer only went to Anaheim to play with his brother, Burke had nothing to do with that. and Selanne was a one-year deal crapshoot.May,Marchant,ODonnel­l,DiPenta are all grinders. Only good deal there is Beauchemin, who has yet to prove himself.

[jagged22]

Ya but all Burke did was get Niedermayer (and he negotiated that deal very well 6.75 is a bargain), selanne, marchant, may, beauchemin, selanne, Moen (who scored the gw in game 1), huskinds, odonnel and dipenta. AND handpicked randy carlyle but ya Murray did it all didnt he?....dumbass.

[gio8284]

he also unloaded the overpayed and underachieving Sergei Federov for Francois Beauchemin. Lets not forget Chris Pronger as well..

[jagged22]

Your a fricking adiiot how does he duck? He moved tot he left and Neil like a true jackass jumped in the air at him.

[stablerbomb]

you lousy fucks look at he tape mcdonald ducked into the hit because he's a pussy bitch

[jagged22]

Way to go Burke! Tell em how stupid Neil is!!!

[jagged22]

WAY TO GO BURKE YOU TELL THOSE CHEATERS

[ducksfan777]

I guess no injury = no suspension, right Burke. Karma took care of it, though. 4-1.

[KrYl0nbLuE]

thats my boy right there tell it like it is, fuck canadian cheap bastards, who suck at hockey, GO DUCKS

[abdullahithebest]

lol the entire ducks team is canadian u asshole

[BadMuffin4]

Have to hate a GM who crys about what his player just did.

[mikee99er]

This C**K SUCKER is a pussy! A BULLY who WHINES so dam much he is taking credit for the team that Brian Murray Built, all burke did was bring over pronger who forced the Oilers to trade him because his wife didn't want see the the reporter pronger got pregnant! he screwed the Oilers and the reporter.

[Roochfan20]

"all burke did was bring over pronger"

Not entirely true, see the Fedorov trade.

[bigbuzz0]

burke is a fag

[Drultang]

Wow...that was quite the intellectual argument you have there. Sounds like you have the judgment of the ref that missed that Neil call

[fotolabman]

sounds like "bigbuzz0" is a canucks fan to me

[Drultang]

Have to like a GM who tells it like it is
