Remember Adam Burish, the trash-talking dude who spent more time in the press box than on the ice? Yeah, seems that the Flyers have found their Burish of this season — Patrick Kaleta.

Kaleta should be on your Easter card list. The pinhead is cited by NBC’s John Clarke and the Buffalo News Jerry Sullivan as the spark plug that got Danny Briere fired up. Kaleta apparently talked about the divorces of Briere and Scott Hartnell.

“Briere had been emotionally charged up, and more than a little angry, since early in the game. “Honestly, one of their young guys said something to me that was personal and crossed the line,” the former Sabre said. “It got me fired up a little bit more than it usually does. That was probably a big part of it.”

“A Flyers source said Patrick Kaleta made comments to Briere and teammate Scott Hartnell about their divorces early in the Flyers’ 5-4 overtime victory, which evened the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at three games apiece.”

If that’s what it takes to get people riled up, fine. Thanks, Kaleta. See ya’ on Tuesday, pinhead.
