Storyteller falls short of all the Legend & History He Holds in real life... Thank you Mr Burkie, i appreciate and feed on your true grit and fundamentals that make you. Much Love
I still don't necessarily like him, but I would love to sit down and ask him questions. He's honest, and never seems to be trying to make himself look good. The fact that he respects Bettman makes me wonder if I have fallen into the Canadian hatred of having an American run the league. The League President's nationality is irrelevant, so long as the person loves the sport.
Who is stupid enough to hire Mike Keenan? Keenan always had stacked teams with big payrolls, and only won 1 cup. Keenan caused Gretzky and Hull to walk away and refuse to sign with St. Louis.
The farm team was actually in Fredericton. Vancouver shared with the Nordiques. The FE logo literally means Fredericton Express. I know it was years ago and Burkie just threw it out there by mistake probably.
Let me get this straight: There's a channel on cable that shows nothing but this gross doctor woman popping gross pimples, yet this genius is relegated to RUclips?
2:37 "the Steve Moore case ... that's all been resolved now and everyone's gone on with their lives" lol I bet Steve Moore might see things a little differently! Let's hear what Burke thought about that one
Burke is senile. Vancouver Canucks AHL affiliate at the time was Fredericton Express in New Brunswick....and not Quebec City. Shows you how Marek didn't know the difference either.
Good catch. I researched this and confirmed it. I also searched up Quebec City's AHL and they didn't have an AHL team during that period and at no point did Vancouver ever have a farm team in Quebec. Fredericton and Quebec City are not remotely similar to each other or even close to each other.
@@NigelMK I guess Sportsnet doesn't use fact checkers. Not sure why Burke thinks the Canucks farm club was in QC. Marek...well he is just a bantam house league geek who should not be talking about hockey on TV.
How can people still use fake names at hotels when their name is on the credit card? I’ve never had a hotel just give me a room key without seeing some ID
Season 1, Burkie says Dave Nonis is a practical guy, he can get whatever you needed. Like he conjured it. So he got a wizard hat and wand and has been drawn like that since
SN needs to do a better job of promoting these. These short clips are amazing. Burkie is a great storyteller.

I could listen to burkie tell stories everyday for the rest of my life
Agreed. I certainly don't agree with everything he's said and done. But I thoroughly enjoy these and his recent book Burke's Law.
If anyone has thought about buying his book I highly recommend it. Amazing book!
The audiobook is great.
If you like hockey absolutely. If you're mildly curious, and you wonder what goes on behind the scenes of anything, it is pure joy.
it is
Burkie is the good type of old-school.

Keenan caused Gretzky and Hull to walk away and refuse to sign with St. Louis.
There was a time when Keenan was one of the best coaches in the NHL. That time was 1984-1994. Then came the ego trip.
Messier hired him for vancouver.
Just when I thought these couldn't get any better, weirder, or funnier... I got all the above! Love it!

Quebec or New Brunswick, same thing lol
/s
Love these stories.
These cartoon and stories are masterpieces!! 👌🏻
We need more Burkie videos, these are amazing.
It's the hotel receptionist dying giving "Mr Rubble" his wake up call
Let me get this straight: There's a channel on cable that shows nothing but this gross doctor woman popping gross pimples, yet this genius is relegated to RUclips?
these make life better
I love these stories, you wont hear stories like these ever again the league is way too corporate now.
Oh man, I would have loved to see that happen... Love these episodes.
These are F-ing great .... Don't ever stop making these until Burke runs out of stories...... ! That could be a while........
Everywhere Keenan has gone he has pissed off most of his team. You’d think people would stop hiring him.
lol Raimo Summanen is always trouble
Lol at the Sedin twins with name tags of the Culkin brothers.
Oh boy, I wish Keenan had pulled the goalie again. What a POS he was.
He's the reason why back up goalies don't get warm up shots anymore when goalies are substituted during a game
Hence his nickname was "Captain Hook"
I like how marek looks like a UFC fan bro lol
these Brian Burke stories are hidden gems that should be made into a Netflix series
2:37 "the Steve Moore case ... that's all been resolved now and everyone's gone on with their lives" lol I bet Steve Moore might see things a little differently! Let's hear what Burke thought about that one
The case was resolved - he’s right about that at least, and Moore did take the settlement.

I’ve never had a hotel just give me a room key without seeing some ID
You don't use the alias to check in, only for incoming calls. It'like having a password to contact you in your room.
God I LOOOVE these!!!!!
What a great gig playing and living in sunny Florida 🌞
Awesome stories and animations
These stories crack me up..
Why is Landeskog in a rangers outfit?
Rangers legend
kitschner rangers was his minor league team
Kitchener Rangers (OHL). Look at the shoulder patches!
So he didn't fire him in this story?
If you’re only better than half the farm team then aren’t you average... for a minor leaguer?
I want to hear more Mike Keenan stories from Burkie AKA Barney Rubble!
Love this do a lot more
tells a lot about summanen later as a coach too...
When’s the Peter Zezel story Burkie? Mr. Nice guy..
Burke is a chad
he's a great story teller, but I suspect his stories are quite embellished.
Hilarious stores!!
Why does Wes McCauley have a kids voice?
Amazing snimtio
You mean, besides the fact that Keenan's a FIRST-CLASS *SS?
See also: The NY stRangers' Keenan Curse. Perhaps Turk Gallant's the man to break it, eventually.
Pretty generous with Kennan’s hair. Guess he paid some money to be shown with hair
Raimo thought he was good? He got a free cup 😂 couldn't play anything than moving a bit on international large ice
I love the animated stories. Every story about Keenan seems to indicate that he had some sort of personality disorder.
has. is still alive.
Just listen about Keenan and the stories in Russia
Hey Burkie! Putting Landeskog is a Rangers Sweater is a Sin...
That's Kitchener Rangers jersey from Gabe's time in the juniors.
not knowing that Landeskog played for the Kitchener Rangers is the bigger sin...
yeeeeeeeee yee booo
how about the truth about firing mike babcock next?
Poggers
Why does every character have a weird nose color? they're all brown nosers.... wth
Love the anecdotes ... but do we really need the animations? What's the value-add?
It adds charm and a setting to the story.
why does nonis always have a wizard hat lol
Season 1, Burkie says Dave Nonis is a practical guy, he can get whatever you needed. Like he conjured it. So he got a wizard hat and wand and has been drawn like that since
Why does the referee have a chick's voice? Marek is such a bantam house league geek.
