JD Burke is sweaty, he’s chunky, he has a smarmy look and attitude about him. His actual takes on hockey suck and he wears a string tie.
Pretty much - a quote from him at the beginning of the 2018-19 season:
My opening night #Canucks roster:
It - Doesn't - Matter
This - Is - Potentially
The - Worst - Canucks
Team - Ever - Assembled
We're - In
For - A
Long - Season

I get hyperbole - but really? The WORST?? Didn't we have some 20ish win seasons back in the 70's-early 80's?
I have to question his judgement. 18/19 was not a good year, but how can you over-look great teams like the 16/17 Canucks.

That's 777 games played by guys that just should not have been on any NHL team. That's on top of the Sedins, Burrows and Hansen who were all on their way out. Hands down, this was worse than 2018/19/
