For better or worse, Brian Burke sure provides a lot of content for the Vancouver Canucks. He represents hockey men far and wide and Sportsnet is making it clear that they are possibly grooming him to replace Don Cherry when the time comes. I know people don’t think about that, but it only makes sense.
Burke is not just good for sound bites, he ticks off the things in the tiny box for Canadian sports coverage. One thing about it is its predictability, which makes sense since older people in hockey fit that mold, carrying the culture.
