Brian Burke coming on for his regular visit just after the top of the hour. Listen live at cknw.com (after the news break at 10pm PST / 1am EST).

Burke points out that the PA AGAIN tried to get upward only linkage. Why even bother if the PA keeps trying to hang onto that scam?
Burke really stands up for Bettman when the interviewer tried ripping into him.
me2 said:Russell is trying to put the blame for the breakdown on Bettman. Apparently its Bettmans fault for carying enough about the league to risking one last attempt to resurrect the season (and there was a deal supposedly done too). He should not have tried ("dead is dead" or there abouts).
Speaking as a fan, I'm glad he tried to save season. If he hadn't tried I'd be majorly ****ed off. But its all Bettman's fault because he tried.......
Russell is just being a lame ass wanker about this.

christ you guys, Russell and Burke go way back. regardless of his "stance" he is not a moron and his show is freaking dedicated to hockey.bcrt2000 said:this Russell guy was a moron. he kept on asking Burke questions and then cutting him off 2 seconds later putting his pro-PA spin on it

I hear ya, and I wont pretend to know how to interview someone, I guess its that I have been listening to russell for years, and he is one of the few talk show guys that Burke and a few other notable people still agree to go on in vancouver. He is passionate and usually knows what hes talking about.bcrt2000 said:My point is Russell would ask a question, and Burke started to talk, and Russell didn't like what he was hearing and kept cutting him off and then asking the same question again, and then cutting him off again. Thats not how you interview someone. When you do an interview, its the guest that people want to listen to, not the host.
