NHL player apologizes for virtual self

Published Oct. 25, 2010 1:00 a.m. ET

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."

A fifth-year player, Burish spent the past four seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks.
