And you don't know what an epiphany is.
Where did Burke mention hitting? Playing physical and aggressive is significantly different than just racking up hits. I think it's pretty obvious Burke would rather have a 5'9 guy who plays like he's 6'6 than the opposite. If you read the quotes and thought "Burke only likes BIG!" then you should have read all the words around the word "big."

I don't hate Burke. So not sure how you could insinuate that I'm biased. I hate his obsession and ranting about getting bigger and black and blue hockey being the be all and end all of styles. I question his constant harping on needing a big, aggressive team to make the playoffs in the west.
If you don't think Burke is obsessed with size then you haven't been paying attention.
