Guest treble charged Report post Posted April 25, 2002 With his tirade on the refs and the "us against them" mentality he seems to be building up, this seems a lot like the Great One's speech at the Olympics, which, as you all know by now, lit a fire under the team, and they went on to win the Gold.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted April 25, 2002 It probably is similar to Gretzky's rant in that respect. Unlike the Great One, though, it looks like Burke also has a legitimate argument to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brush with Greatness Report post Posted April 25, 2002 Actually, I believe his thinking was more along the lines of Mike Milbury here. Seeing how Mike Milbury bitched about the refs after game 2 in TO, and then wound up with 9 PP's the next game, Burke has decided to follow suit. I actually thought the reffing in games 1 and 2 was shittier than in 3 and 4 but the Canucks won so why bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted April 25, 2002 Also you gotta admit in Game 3. Leafs had 8 powerplays too, but just didn't capitalize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
