NHL player apologizes for virtual self
Adam Burish sure is generous when it comes to taking accountability for his actions on the ice.
The Dallas Stars forward recently apologized to a fan after his virtual likeness disrupted a key play in a video game the fan was playing.
The fan, who identified himself as Alex, sent the Stars an e-mail explaining the incident:
"I was recently playing a game of EA Sports NHL 11. I was down by one goal against my friend, I was on a 2 on 0 and was impeded by #16 Adam Burish, and was unable to achieve a scoring opportunity, I ask that Adam Burish publicly apologizes to me for he had cost me that game of NHL 11. Thank you for you cooperation during this crisis."
Burish responded with a video posted on the Stars website
"Sorry I ruined your game," he says in the video. "You know what though, when your guys are that slow they get in my way. So whoever’s controlling them, I don’t know if it’s you or the computer, maybe you should have a talk with them."
