Burke thought Calgary was missing certain elements of professionalism when he joined. "Your a top pick, too bad you're not my top pick. You don't get a free pass". Coaches are now free to send whoever down, whether it is a top player or a bottom player. Whenever a player is sent down there are 2 people in the room otherwise the player will discredit what was said. Always uses the philosophy of 1 positive 1 negative 1 positive. Here is what you have been doing right. This is what we don't like. This is what you need to do to stay with the club long term. Burke wants to be big and hard to play against. Thats what wins, not only skill..
