Because of this thread, the word FAIL should now officially be changed to Clutch. CDC users should now use the word Epic Clutch instead of Epic Fail when they encounter stupidness and CDC mods should change the forum's setting so that the word fail is automatically changed to clutch.

Burrows has been amazing since this thread has been made. (and well before that too)

He started getting hot in 08/09.. Before that, he was just another agitator who can score occasionally.. Now, we depend on him to finish plays off or score on a consistent basis. He WAS a bottom 6 forward. Now he's a top 6 forward :)

Burrows, Hiller, Garon named week's '3 Stars

Alexandre Burrows gave hat sales in Vancouver a boost last week.

With more than a little help from linemates Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Burrows had the week of a lifetime, scoring 3 goals in back-to-back games to become the first Canuck since Petri Skriko in 1987 to get hat tricks in consecutive games -- and triggering a lot of hat-throwing at GM Place. His first hat trick helped the Canucks rally from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, 7-3, on Tuesday, and he scored three of Vancouver's four goals in a 4-0 win against Phoenix two nights later.

Burrows didn't need a lot of time or shots to record his big week. He scored his 6 goals on nine shots and played only 34:30 combined in the two games. Ironically, he saw more ice time in the Canucks' other game last week -- getting an assist in 21:11 Saturday in the Canucks' 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary.

As per NHL.com
