Jeez, some things get completely overblown on this site!

This makes much more sense. Years ago when Burke was GM of Vancouver my friend and his young son met Burke in Whistler. My friends son was wearing a tattered jersey and talked to Burke about how much he loved the Canucks. 4 weeks later my friends son recieved in the mail, a new jersey, a puck, a banner, and calendar.
I get that posters think Burke is surley 24 hours a day, but its not true. Just look what he makes his players do for volunteer work and also what he does. If you really think that he treats fans like garbage, then you are out to lunch. Also when players get bashed in the media, Burke is the first to come to their defence.
