This was amazing. Burke is the only former GM to flood the world with inside information and knowledge of hockey operations that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

I feel like Burkeys been 60 for 40 years now yet he’s had a better hairline than me since I was 20 😂😭

I met Brian Burke in the Toronto airport many many years ago was on my way home from an old man hockey tournament. I went up introduce myself shook his hand and told him I’d love to hear all his experiences in a book I’ve been following him through the hockey news there really wasn’t that much hockey news down in the states in the 90s. He was very polite he asked me sheepishly if I would like an autograph I said real men don’t ask for autographs from other men he laughed and we sat down at the bar and had two drinks and just talked hockey amazing man I’ve shared this interview on three other platforms great job guys

Burkey and his hairline will forever be NHL legends.

15:45 Pat was one of the finest people on this planet. Wore cufflinks. 16:23 Pat's lesson on being fair. 18:20 Funny bar fight story. 19:14 Bieksa vs Fedor Fedorov. 23:11 Kevin Lowe story. 25:28 Burke's son didn't approve of continued grudge with Lowe. 26:47 Anaheim had the best owner. 27:51 Won't work on the west coast ever again. Too far from everything. 28:40 Analytics "They've created an industry that would only hire them." 31:34 Doesn't like clean hit fights. 36:41 Truculence. 44:14 "Gary, you have to slow down." 50:55 Burke offers to get press off Kessel. 1:01:19 Burke doesn't want the NHL to go back to the way when he played but also wants fighting and hitting to stay in the game. 1:09:06 Driving Klatt to the airport.

Brian “I don’t tell stories that aren’t true” Burke

you have got to respect Burke and how professional he is, great interview.

7:35 - Biz - "Do a couple swipe ups Burky" Brian Burke - No response

Gave him an uber ride a few months back in Toronto. Had a short ride but a nice chat. Good guy and agreed with me that Don Cherry didn't deserve to be treated so disrespectfully.

This is the one interview I've been waiting for! A real hockey guy talking real hockey shit! The game has been lacking people like BB for a while!

Burke’s an absolute legend. Changed the NHL and game of hockey for the better.

Love Burke, dude is old school and he knows hockey with the best of them. I am amazed that he was this open in this interview because he definitely seems very reserved when he's on TV, especially when he's talking to Duthie 🤣🤣

Burkie can be controversial, hard headed and come across as rude to some....BUT you cannot deny that he is a GREAT interview. Full of knowledge, willing to share stories from behind the scenes. Need more like him in hockey.

Best interview of 2020

Could listen to Burke telling stories and talking hockey all day, incredible mind

What a gem of a storyteller, onya Burkie

What a great interview, one of my personal favourites, we finally got to see the perspective of a gm, executive.

The Bieksa story is so top notch 👌

I was introduced to Brian burke just a couple years ago and I love him. For the most part I think he's on point with where the league needs to go. He carries the spirit of the game with him everywhere he goes and he loves the game.

Cool interview, what class act and so cool to hear his insights

Been waiting for some classic Burkey....thanks boyzzzzzz

Great interview! I really enjoyed it

Really great to get the front office point of view and stories. Plus Brian Burke has developed into a living legend. Wish a coach or two could have a sit down with the Chiclets.

Y’all gotta bring Stevie Y on the pod

Favorite interview for sure. Love listening to his perspective on hockey this was great

Great interview- I really enjoyed Burkie's stories. A true hockey great! Thanks guys. Keep em commin.

Brian Burke such a legend glad Pittsburgh picked him up

Pure class. Nothing but respect for Burke. Dude knows hockey, can tell a great story, and is an excellent speaker. What an interview.

Best guest award!! Could listen to this guy & company for hours. Burkies awesome

I used to think Burke was a just a cold hard ass. Since is move to media it's nice to hear his dry humor. The guy is pretty funny.

Dear Spittin' Chichlets: Another Amazing interview! Mr. Burke has seen so many years and layers of The Perfect Game!

Good shit boys. Love Brian Burke, great sit down.

Burkie is such a great storyteller.

Ik this was only 6 months ago but I really want Burkey on again

Great interview

Still remember him from his days with the Vancouver Canucks, a long time ago now

USA hockey is Brian Burke. Very grateful for his time in Anaheim building that Stanley Cup team for us. This guy has built teams everywhere he’s been. Look at his time in Anaheim and building that squad.

Legend!

Excellent interview

enjoyed this burk always has good stories

That was a lot of fun. Burke rules.

awesome interview

Good stuff.

great interview

I could listen to Burke talk shop all day, him and Jim Devellano

when biz said “100M cap in no time” i cried

Love Burkie

YESSSSSSSS

I don't even boo Bettman out of hate anymore. I've come to realize he does a great job on the business side of things. Plus, he takes all the boo's and heckles really well and I respect that.

The new Penguins president!

Burke's a beauty

Brain I had the pleasure of having your brother Doc visit our plant in Indiana. Always looked forward to us talkin Hockey. Missing the NHL Network and seeing you on Friday's.

"pusillanimous"...Burke is my Hero.

Yes... the backup goalie coming in and getting the W was one of the greatest stories in the NHL in years. "Let's do away with it, immediately!" Brilliant

If espn truly wants to tap into the hockey market, I see biz on there, but you wanna sign a guy like bb for big money. This’s a dude who can give insight no one else can. Unreal human. God bless bb

Have DHM published randomized double-blind tests to confirm effectiveness rate in comparison with a placebo?

Also, that's the poetry of hockey. It turns sacrifice into a gift and celebrates it. Ted Lindsay said once, I think: "It's me for you, and you for me." and in hockey we love the 4th liner who blocks a shot so his team can win. That Jay Baruchel movie that had Doug Glatt, perfectly encapsulates the team dynamic between the skilled guys (who the analytics peeps love) and the grunts who play the hard things because they love their teammates. Marshall McLuhan brought up the stats keeping thing LOOOONG ago as something that would dominate the sports, because it was going to be the financial peeps who love those things who would come to dominate the business of hocey, because they would be able to speak the language of those who could buy teams. That's why I love Green Bay, and I don't even really like American Football lol

Hey G! You gotta get a cartoon made of coach Q yelling about the horses and screaming “NHL, baby! Whoooh!” Q loves The Ponies!

5:45 Exactly.

42 isn’t THAT old for a goalie, in my 40s I wasn’t as fast of a runner, but my reflexes and strength were the same as in my early 30s.

Pat Quinn is a legend.

Burkie needs his own show! Let’s go Pens!🖤💛🥅🏒🐧

Burke is completely right about the scheduling.

I never knew that Burkie was a bruiser!!! Makes me love him even more!! My old colleague at work would always get irritated by the whole tie thing.."Are you going to put it on or take it off?? Make a decision!! he would say. LOL

The tail that wags the dog

Nice white socks there RA lol

Holy commercials already!

the guy in the blue hat is interrupting the flow of the interview....he has no feeling for it at all...he is asking ok questions at the wrong time repeatedly... you can even see the internal cringe on the faces of the other two guys, who have a great raport with each other and the guest as well, i noticed this in their other interviews , may be a good idea to leave the blue hat guy behind the scenes, it would elevate the whole show...just my two cents

Living in Buffalo, I really want to know what bar that fight was in!

As a Canucks fan I love and miss burk. He was the canucks best Gm to date.

Give us some bugsy/ tp16 interviews!!

we also were able to fight and hit in novice

Burkey for Commish

when I grew up playing if goalie left the net and played the puck you could clean hit them I was in alot of fights for it

Why even wear a tie Burke?? Lol

Starts at 1:30

Truculence

i was surprised fowler dropped too

Burke should be in the NHL Hall of fame.

1 hour with Burky? Better grab some unreal fudge buds!

funny interview

God Himself

Burke is making too much sense when he talks about hits in the NHL, liking a game with lots of truculence, the scheduling, etc.

Amazing that he talks like he and Kevin Lowe were 2 pugilists that could throw blows.

"Gary is a brilliant guy" - Burke "Yeah, he's trying" - Biz

Needs to get a first for Malkin and a first for Letang and Carter combined to prevent self implosion by 2024 do it Burke Merry Christmas and a Happy Boo Year 🇨🇦

Lol. "Ikea minus a letter..." classic Whit

Biznasty talkin out of his hoop with the backup catcher bullshit 😂

Bizz your point about backup catchers getting drunk and making 250K was a little stupid. Gotten sharpen up around a big boy like Burkey

Do a couple swipe ups burky

36:44 TRUCE A Lance!!

The sisters of St Joseph would say (before the whack): “don’t give me any of your truck young man” - Truck the short version of truculence

What hotel? The Intercontinental?

50:00

The story Orr tells about the Quinn hit is later in that series some mafia-looking dude comes up to him in the lobby of the hotel and quietly asks "do you want me to take care of Pat Quinn for you?" Bobby or course goes "What? No!" But yeah, apparently that happened. A guy was literally prepared to bump Quinn off because he hit Orr.

Paul Bissonnette promoting alcoholism social drinking u should be proud u found ur calling in life ur purpose

Arizona in Hamilton leaves the League more reputable 🔑

#1 job in the NHL I want is the person who opens and closes the door in the penalty box, but sadly I’ve noticed no women do this

As an Av fan,I wouldve taken that 42yr old beer league guy-ANYDAY-over Hunter Miska. Who was the backup goalie, for the Cup favorites,& in 5 or 6 terrible starts-had the 3rd worst stats in the NHL, in last 30 yrs or so. Despite playing behind arguably the deepest deffense/best defensive team on earth. Now,we traded for Johansen,& I don't think he's gonna be the answer either..was pretty bad in Buffalo,& not great in his 1st game with the Avs. But he was playing behind a joke of a team,& unlike Miska-at least has some potential. Miska has never been a heralded prospect-at all-even when he played pretty good in AHL. Johansen was an AHL All Star,& might turn into something eventually. But he probably isnt ready to be an NHL backup yet-let alone for the Cup favorites. I'd probably take that beer league NOW,over Johansen-but no question I'd take him over Miska.

Great interview... Hey RA , put some damn shoes on , you are way too comfortable
