I don’t have a ton of time today, but I’ve got a link you NHL betting fans won’t be able to resist; it’s to a fake Twitter page run by Leafs GM Brian Burke. Burkey is known for his bombastic comments and surliness toward the media, but this is just priceless.

There are some real gems in there. Among my favorites:

Pogge was so upset after last night’s game that he threw himself in front of my car - but it went through his legs! So I backed over him.”

Curtis Joseph is Mr. Consistent. He’s given us eight or nine saves and six solid minutes in every game he’s played this year.”

Rumors that the Habs may be for sale. I’ll ask Mikhail Grabovski, since based on the past few games he apparently owns them.”

Hosting the Oilers. Looking forward to a chance to see my old friend Kevin Lowe. In fact, I think I may wait for him in the parking lot.”

Fantastic. Apparently, Burkey didn’t appreciate it and even attempted to sue the prankster (I wonder what the sportsbook odds on Burke v. Twitter would have been?). Thankfully, the site just threw up a comment admitting it’s a parody and seems to be going about its business. Either way, the NHL lines over/under on how many days of me visiting per week are officially set at 4. Take the over.
