Burke, he got all the guys that play on the Ducks.

Close between Carlyle and Burke...but I would go with the GM since he's the one that put the team together and tell Carlyle how he wants the Ducks to be...Burke is the type of GM that hockey teams should have. I hope the ducks win the cup this year to send a message...

I voted for Ruff for re-introducing the line brawl to the NHL. that was what got the NHL the most positive attention too, lots of people went "oh yea, this is still a sport isnt it?"

Burke -- I'd love to see Anaheim win the whole thing with their mix of Lots of Toughness and Lots of Finesse. Stick it up your ass Bettman you closet queer bastard!

Burke made it clear that he didn't care if his team gooned it up if they kept winning. Carlyle had the balance of fire power and toughness and did a great job. But if it wasn't for Burke, it probably wouldn't be available.

Brian Burke, obviously. He single handedly picked up any enforcer he could off the market. He even brought some FM totals we haven't seen since before the lock-out. Next season can only bring better results.
