Now, I know your agenda is pretty concretely anti-Burke, and that's fine, but who cares if a few players don't like him? If you actually KNOW you should probably say how (or else it's a little hard to believe based on your bias), but regardless of that, I'd be impressed if there was a GM out there who was universally liked by every player. I'm sure there is one or two, but they'd be the exception.
Anyhow. I still don't see a whole lot of quit in the Flames, they've simply be grossly overmatched. They have played some damn fine 3rd periods over the past 20 games, but it really doesn't have much impact when you're facing teams that easily out match you with even the slightest bit of effort.
Calgary has enough jam to pounce on teams that get lazy or complacent, but any team that comes in to a game against them ready to play is going to mop the floor with them. That has nothing to do with Burke, sorry that it doesn't fit your bias.
