Popular Post clutch Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) I know allot of people are going to scorch me for this but I fail to see the reason why nobody questions his ability to play in the nhl. Every game i watch with him in the lineup(all of them) I find myself screaming at the tv because of the stupid stuff the guy does. Personally i'd rather have any of the guys that are fighting for a spot on the team rather than burrows. Everyone's #1 reason they like this guy from what I read on this forum "He's great on the pk. Who cares! Anyone can do this thats fighting for a spot. He can't score and i'm tired of kesler carrying this guy on his back night after night, I'm tired of him losing the puck, falling down everywhere seriously this guy falls down a hundred times a night can't he skate its ridiculous, stupid penalties its endless. "He plays with grit" is another common description tossed out when his name comes up. That ok sure he pisses off guys but fails to do really be able finish that job off by being able to fight because he can't. IMOP he's an embarrassment to the team. Please Gillis let this guy go keep Krog or Pettinger or Brown whoever. let er rip. Edited October 3, 2008 by clutch 3 2 1 10 1 91 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bleednucksblue Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Your opinion is inept. He is perfect at doing his job. He agitates, he is a ferocious checker and he scores an occassional goal. Buy a clue buddy!

Popular Post Pavel1994 Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Why do people want to get rid of character players ? Burrows has worked his tail off to get to where he is. Everyday he shows up to play 100%, guys like that you don't get rid of. 134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Plaguez Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 What the hell..are you watching the Vancouver Canucks and Alexander Burrows? Wow..another one of these jerkoffs who thinks that agitators should fight. That is not his role, but he has still done it. Burrows is hard work personafied. You clutch can best be described as someone's bum on someone else's head. 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Gillis let this guy go keep Krog or Pettinger or Brown whoever. let er rip. I don't think your watching the same guy as the rest of us. The Alex Burrows I know fights quite often, and even gave Dan Carcillo quite the beating last year. He was also the only player in the league with 30+ points and 150+ penalty minutes. He's the best pest in the league, he works hard, he gets the other team off their game, and he can pot the odd goal. There's nothing not to like about him. Anytime one of your checkers can drive Vinny Lecalvelier so crazy he drops the gloves and takes himself out of the game, you want to keep that guy in your lineup. 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robotco Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 burrows is the hardest working player on this team. he's great on the pk and on the forecheck, and when he gets the opportunity, he puts away some of the prettiest goals ever seen. he does a lot more for the canucks than you think. 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post the metatron Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 You should be roasted for this. Not only is he great, he's one of the best deals in the league at a less-than-500 grand cap hit. I have your feelings towards Rypien though. Very little skill, and scrappiness doesn't help the team if it constantly gets you injured. 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WiLBoY Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Is the original poster serious? Burrows brings his game every game. He works hard, irritates, and causes penalties from the other team's star players. His role isn't to fight. He has a great forecheck and he's very good on the breakaway. Most importantly he plays for $500,000. He's one of the most underrated players in the game 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keltin Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Burrows shows up EVERY GAME! Scores the odd goal here and there! Shuts down many stars on the other teams! And at the same time is very feisty! Plus many more assests I left out! By the way he was our leading short handed goals leader last year! Oh and did I mentioned how much he is making? peanuts! 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
