Burke to sue columnist

[KB in Kelowna]

I found this at Sportsnet: "Burke to sue over Moore plot?
April 14 @ 11:00 PM
Former Vancouver Canucks General Manager Brian Burke is suing the New York Post and writer Larry Brooks. The suit comes as a result of a February 27th article in the Post stating that Burke was a part of a plot to deal with Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore. Brooks goes on to state that Burke went down into the Canucks locker room and told players to retaliate to Moore's hit on Markus Naslund from a game earlier in the season. Brian Burke's Lawyer, Peter Gall, confirmed to News 1130 that Burke is suing for defamation of character and is seeking damages as well as an apology from both Brooks and the New York Post. Larry Brooks was contacted by News 1130 and declined comment, other then stating that he stood by his story and the sources that provided him with the information. Papers were filed in BC Supreme Court on April 13th, 2005

Gee Brian unhappy with the media, never seen that before :laughing:

Good for Burkie

Always respected the man, and always will. No matter what you say about him, he stood his ground, and was loyal to his players
