Burnett, j'avais donné son nom au Top lors d'une partie à Trois-Rivières; j'imagine qu'on lui a parlé!!! Mais bon, c'est sûr qu'il va avoir un style "bâveux" mais il semblerait qu'il ait un problème d'équilibre dans ses batailles (on connaît ça ici) comme vous pourrez lire dans l'article ci-dessous; je préférerais de loin le nom que je leur ai donné y a une couple de semaines: le gars peut jouer au hockey et se battre, un genre Wingfield mais moins fragile et ayant joué dans des niveaux supérieurs mais $$$$$(possiblement). Revenons à Burnett: jerseyvault.com

I managed to hang out with Garrett Burnett in Arizona at the end of last month. What a cool guy, gave me play by play details of some of his hockey fights. He has huge penalty minutes and from what I could tell would fight anyone on skates. Two thumbs up for Garrett. He loves his job and he shows it! Hopefully he'll be back in the NHL next year. Any thoughts on his future?

I like Garrett, Having Phantom tickets I got to see him come up from the ECHL to the AHL on the Phantoms a few years ago. I think he lost every fight he had that season but he just kept comming,he was always alot of fun to watch and he gave you what you expected to see out of him. I don't think he belongs in the NHL anymore though, not because of him but because of all the rule changes, I don't think a player like him can make it in the NHL anymore. But he should be in the AHL somewhere. I think the NHL will be forever changed for fighting, rough stuff, and will be less and less in each of the following years ( there still will be one here one there as in fights, but not enough for me to worry about or even take notice ) that's why players like Garrett, Worrell, Peeters can't last there, but they can in the AHL. The Minors is the only place left where they can flurish, and when they start changing that, well, I don't even want to say it. Good luck to him and guy's like him.

He had a terrible Balance that was his problem at his fights. Anyway he was the Fighter for the ducks and I wish he would be still in the NHl.
I don't care if he lost most of his fights.. because he will fight anyone and he will fight every game!
He can help a lot of AHL Teams, but I think he is now playing lacrosse.
Btw: he broke Low's nose or orbital bone this year.

Bah...he was terrible for the Ducks. Took an extra penalty for not having his jersey tied down once simply during normal gameplay.

Ducksfan. that isn't possible. You don't HAVE to be tied down. The only time it is a penalty is if you enter into an altercation, and your jrsey comes off from not being tied down.

Exactly...it was coming off during game play then when he began to get into the scrap it popped off...you could see during normal play how it was getting ready to go. I believe he forgot.

I can tell you that he has a lace fight strap in the front of his jersey, which is used as a tie down and regular fight strap at the back. Nonetheless, huge penalty minutes and is not afraid to fight. From looking at his fighting stats, it appears that Parker has done well against Burnett. If you were to see Burnett walking down the street, you'd think he's a boxer, so Parker must be one tough customer.
