You are suggesting he shouldn't do that without having to answer difficult questions about the hockey team? (which he absolutely did BTW just not about the coaching staff which is entirely understandable 14 freaking games into their tenure)
This place sucks sometimes.

At the same time, if all they wanted to do was promote the Superskills, they could have sent Candace Goudie, who often does the radio promos when the Flames Foundation is involved. They sent Burke because they knew there were going to be questions about the performance of the team. And given how awful that performance has been, that there should be tough questions.
