Popular Post PONCHE 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vancanfan 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. 6 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 The fact that he was picked indicates that he is one of, if not the best, at what he does. Yes there are players like Ruutu, Avery, Tucker that play a similar role however who is overall the most beneficial to their team? Ruutu, 3 times the salary for the same player (Don't get me wrong I love Ruutu but expensive for what he does) He has more offesive talent (as seen in the shoot-out) but is more of a liability for minor penalties. Avery, is innovative in trying to invent new ways to push the envelope of agitating however his history of antics leaves a team with too many question marks on whether he will help or hinder his team. Tucker, Avery minus the off ice stuff, on the decline and his point totals in Toronto seem to be an aboration as he's vanished off the face of the earth. Again, a risk to take him because his salary is too much for what he "potentially" could do. Why not stick with what you have? You know what you're going to get, 30 points 10-15 goals, 100+ pims and at fair market value. Although the trend of toughness is further on the rise, teams still need playmaking ability at a reasonable price. So would you rather have: Burrows and 10 mil to spend on Free-Agents / Trade (room to add 1st line forward ie. Gaborik at 9mil) or Avery and 6.6 mil to spend (room to add Jeff Finger) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vancity_Nucks Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 I seriously doubt you will find even 1 other person who agrees with your opinion. Unless they have either Never seen a Canucks game, or have some type of mental disability... a severe mental disability. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Small_Member Posted October 3, 2008 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2008 Guys like Burrows win your team the Stanley Cup. Burrows is hands down my favorite player, and plenty of other peoples favorites. He's an inspiration for a lot of people to play hockey. Sometimes hard work does pay off and Burr has earned every inch of respect he's given. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
