Is this thread about Burke or about height and weight? I'm confused.
6' 2.75"
209.6 lbs.

4'1 and why are my clothes on fire.

I agree with this. They might as well drop the hammer today rather than wait 5 months.

In addition to the Burke stuff, Miikka Kiprusoff has apparently returned to Calgary, so an official retirement may come soon, too.

I have a feeling Burkie vs Franchise could be the next Torts vs. Brooksie!
Can you imagine some of the exchanges they could have? Epic sound bytes!

Uh, maybe you're not aware, but exclusively rednecks graduate from Harvard Law school?

This looks like a good move for the Flames. Burke is a good hockey mind despite what people think about his personality.

Burke has a clear leg up on Feaster when it comes to trades, offer sheets (don't do them) and image IMO. Not as confident with his drafting record, so I hope that Feaster/Weisbrod still have a place in the organization. I also would like to see Hartley have a fair shake this year, to see how he handles the young ones.
Finally, real (almost real) hockey news!

As reported multiple times on this site, he's been around town for quite some time now. (if he even left in the first place)
But the media likes to lean on the "Miikka is hidden away in a secret forest in a hidden cabin on an invisible lake" story a little too much.

I honestly think Burke will build a winning team. He'll be starting from scratch and I think he'll do well. I'd also enjoy hearing him talk more than Feaster

Lol at him being a redneck. Would be awesome if he come out in some wranglers, a flannel shirt, and cowboy hat.
