Popular Post Soldadito13 Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 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. I think if he had written this last year, there might have been some merit to it. Burrows is not this player anymore. He has become so much more. 30 points from the 3rd line is pretty respectable. He has become a pretty good playmaker as seen by the goal he set up just after falling down (from stepping on the puck). There is just so much wrong with your post. Watch a game there buddy 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ANuckInCalgary Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 just cuz he took that stupid penalty in the last couple mins of the game...dont jump on to huge conclusions that question the ability of the players who play their hearts out... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SRV 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 All true, but if he has another stellar year in 08/09 his salary will probably increase 5-fold.....at least. MG better 'moneyball' him before he's a UFA after this season. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post has nothing to do with that stupid penalty. I've been watching burrows flail around since manitoba. I guess he knows how vigneault likes it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bohunter Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 If I remember correctly burrows got on the canucks through the back door, last guy picked for the moose, and fought his way to the third line on the big club. Kesler and Burrows have such amazing chemistry and energy. They are exactly what this team needs. I'd like to see them pop in some shorthanded goals this season, that was another thing missing from last year. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Analyst Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ok first post, but here goes... I'm going to have to agree with everyone elseand say that Burrows is an asset to this team. Not only is he good at what he does (forecheck and agitate) but he does show signs of offensive flair. He loses the puck a lot and seems to be off balance because of the style he plays. He'll look to make the play before thinking about what his body is about to be put through. Did he not make Pierre Maguire's All-Monster Team 2007? He will fight, contrary to what you say... didn't he fight Boulerice after he Tomahawked kesler in the head? He was a liability when he'd fight at stupid times and get called for instigating or roughing randomly but has since refined his game and now understands when and where to start a bru-haha. Burrows has worked his way up from the ECHL, and hasn't stopped doing whatever the coaches tell him to do. That's the kind of teammate I'd want on my team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chopper44 Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 EPIC FAIL OP!!!!! EPIC FAIL!!!!! Give your head a shake buddy!!! Burrows embodies so many of the traits we all wish the rest of the Canucks had. The guy plays with so much heart, he gives it his all every time he steps on the ice..... Enjoy the countless pages of flaming......... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post buffdaddydarren Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) He was also the only player in the league with 30+ points and 150+ penalty minutes. I think Phaneauf (60 points/ 182 PIM), Hartnell 43 points/ 159 PIM) and "Jacka$$" Avery (33 points and 154 points) would disagree with this statement!!! But otherwise I think the guy who started this topic is on glue! Burrows is a "heart and soul" player who competes every night, is great on the PK, has good offensive skills (lead the team in SH goals) and hits anyone!!!

Popular Post O PH8 Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Burrows is one of the most exciting Nucks to watch- period. He has hands, can skate fine (and fast!). The only place he's lacking is in fighting prowess, but he's gotten bigger over the summer so we'll see what happens now. Don't be stupid 'clutch'. If anything, Burrows is a clutch player. He and Kes CARRIED this team for a few weeks last year in case you don't remember 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
