Waiting To See If Steve Burton’s Report About the NHL Lockout Ending Today Is The Most Compelling Storyline of the Day
Yahoo - On Monday, Steve Burton of WBZ-TV in Boston became puckheads’ latest beacon of hope. Here’s his report from the 10 p.m. news, on what his sources indicate is the impending end of the lockout: The denials have rolled in. Sarah Kwak of Sports Illustrated quotes Daly as saying there’s “not even a single morsel” of truth in the report. Joe Haggerty of CSN New England’s sources also said it’s “not true.”
For some reason I’m fascinated by this. Steve Burton just going out on a limb and reporting that the NHL lockout is all but over. He is literally the ONLY guy on the planet reporting that. Every other hockey insider instantly started laughing in his face when he said this. Like they all had a “I spit out my coffee and I’m not even drinking any” reaction. It almost makes me think there has to be something to it right? I just don’t see how he could run with something that everybody knows is false and really have it be false. That seems so crazy to me. Like the fact he knew he was breaking something that nobody thinks is true would make him research and back-check it ten times as much before reporting it. Or is it possible Steve Burton just made a mockery of his entire life and career?
In other news now that Nick Foles has been named the starter for the rest of the season in Philly I’m hearing rumors that Michael Vick just landed at Logan.

They don’t call him big time for nothing
Pres any truth to the rumors that Steve Burton is really just a guinea from the north end?
All I know is, when I need reliable NHL info, I check with the black dude first…
People still play hockey?
Yeah, the NHL would give a black guy the scoop……
“I spit out my coffee and I’m not even drinking any” the worst line you continue to use
Wilford Brimley has better information then this Burton fella.
Good article on your owner

The only person i trust for NHL news is @rearadmiral just like Prez is the only one i trust for Bieber news
At least when Bob Lobel did stuff like this, you could play it off as him being drunk. I don’t know how to explain Burton on this one.
Congratulations, Pokey Reese, you have officially posted the gayest comment in the history of Barstool
Steve Burton must be Black Irish.
pokey, stick to giving handies for meth in the alley, you cum dumpster
Well, for my 1st comment, the strike is as good a place as any to start….no way this strike is over til Donald fear says its over. Season was done as soon as nhlpa hired him
His NHL “sources” are some funny mf players, “Let’s tell the black guy who bugging the crap out of us that we meet and the deal will be done in a couple days, yeah yeah, see if he reports that shit” Somewhere in Finland Rich Peverley is laughing his ass off
Until I see those hockey goons punching each others faces again, I’ll believe it. Until then, I’ll survive without a fringe sport about to make the biggest mistake in its history.
Steve burton hates black people
Steve burton hates black people
Steve burton loves black people
Steve Burton is white
Steve Burton has 2 eyes, Jesus had 2 eyes. Therefore, Steve Burton is Jesus.
I hope the lockout is over because I have a half season Bruins package; it’s just really shitty to hear that our hook-nosed kike owner Jeremy Jacobs is one of the main contributors to the current state of affairs with the NHL lockout.
I lol’d so hard at nowayshutupreally’s comment.
Burton could be the dumbest person ever to be on TV. Complete joke and token hire. If he was white he would be mowing lawns badly.
A few of these comments took the racism a little far. Ah, who am I kidding, black people hate hockey and jews love money.
