Toronto GM Brian Burke Wanted To Fight Edmonton GM Kevin Lowe In A Lake Placid Barn

“Edmonton has offered a mostly inflated salary for a player, and I think it’s an act of desperation for a general manager who is fighting to keep his job.”

The two had an exchange of words and Burke rented out a barn for a fist fight. Somehow, Gary Bettman caught wind of the possible fight and stepped in. It was Brian Burke’s son, Brendan, who told his father that he needed to end the beef. Unfortunately, Brendan died in a car accident before Burke made amends.
