I'm surprised Bosc hasn't posted this, as it involves his three favorite NHL executives: Laughing

A few days after Edmonton Oilers' Kevin Lowe fired back at rival GM Brian Burke, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, deputy commissioner Bill Daly and executive vice-president Colin Campbell tried to pour water on the feud of the two rival team executives.

...

Apparently Lowe finally had enough. In a candid interview, the Oilers' GM railed against Burke calling him a 'moron' and a 'media-junkie'.

"Here's a fact - he left (former Canucks GM) Dave Nonis nothing in Vancouver," Lowe added. "Nothing. He destroyed that team. If it wasn't for Nonis' incredible deals - to con Mike Keenan to get (Roberto) Luongo in Vancouver - that team was taking a nose dive two years ago."

"I hate the fact that my name is linked to his. He's an underachieving wanna-be in terms of success in the NHL."

While I believe Burke to be HIGHLY over rated, however in light of recent history lowe calling him an "underachieving wanna-be" is just hilarious.

Really I don't care. Bettman's an idiot. Burke really is a media whore. Lowe's an idiot too.

Yeah, he should have quit while he was ahead...

You know, like after the Vanek offer sheet but before the Penner one...

Very Happy
