All the bluster of getting bigger and more truculent has turned into a major bust. All the bluster of moving players out before the Olympic break turned into a major bust. I'm skeptical and have gotten tired of his comments. If he were doing this for another team we would be calling him Tubby McBlowhard and reveling in his failures. I prefer he was more Darryl Sutter and waited to flap his gums after moves have been made because he's set expectations he has failed to meet.

Now of course I could be left more than disappointed with what Burke does this year, but going in for some reason I feel little more confident we don't leave too many chips on the table.
Did this part of my entire opinion fly right over your head while you were busy pumping weights in the gym, so you could feel better about yourself to spend more time on making fat jokes already about Burke.
I don't know Brian Burke to be honest. He may turn out to be the worst GM in the history of the Calgary Flames. The only point I was trying to make without being overly condescending of Mr. Feaster is that I feel better about going into this Trade deadline than I did last year. Of course Burke should be and will be judged by his triumphs and failures this year. However, maybe this go around we don't have to call someone a big fat jerk or Tubby McBlowhard just to make a point like we did with Feaster.
