George Burnett

Uh, I like the Guelph Storm a lot for obvious reasons.

I, I like what George Burnett went out and did because he had to go out and do it.

Uh, I got a first live look at them today, and they looked quite good in drubbing the Kitchener Rangers six to nothing.

It's a little bit of a David and Goliath story, obviously, given where the, the Rangers are at.

Not every player has championship pedigree, which made me a little bit nervous for Guelph.

But again, y- you're gonna host, you wanna go in the front door.

There are still assets in the cupboard for George Burnett to make another deal or two.

So I'm sticking with the hosts this year, but I'm also cheating because I like London a lot.

Uh, we'll get to them in the Eastern Conference.

But, uh, [clears throat] excuse me, you can't say enough about what the Guelph Storm have done, and George Burnett in particular.

You know, th- this was a team that was not good last year.

I watched [laughs] a lot of Storm games.

Well, there's a couple of teams in the West that look awfully strong.

Obviously, Guelph has got the Mem Cup and they've put together, you know, George Burnett's done a good job there in putting together players.

You know, everybody's going to hate this, but London has a heck of a hockey team, and I think they're going to give Guelph everything they can handle.

You know, in the East, it's a little more up for grabs.

And I said, hold on, you don't understand hockey, first of all.

But my wife went, but, but maybe he didn't like his coach, George Burnett said, gave him five things, get the puck out, hit everything, shoot, go to straight lines and back check.

Those are the only things he wanted.

He didn't do something.

How important is that right now? Social media, we're not going to get away from it.

I can tell you this, though.

First question George Burnett asked my son when he had an interview, and he asked me to be in the interview with him.

First question was, do you have social media? Give me your social media handles, like your names.

In Washington, at the end of four, the Baltimore Orioles won, and the Washington Senators nothing.

Wind may take it into the crowd, and it does.
