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.

Burrows should be making 4-5.5 million a year for the points and intangibles he brings to this team just like all the other core team members. He scored 19 points in one month on the top line two years ago. Those are Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, Jagr types of numbers. Alex looked like he was blooming into a Superstar, but then suffered a shoulder injury and his amazing production slowed down a bit. Still Alex is extremely underrated and is a great fit for the Sedin Twins on the first line.

Lol @ Clutch not being able to see the future.

I will admit Burrows first year on this time, I was not a fan at all. Now however, im a huge Burrows supporter.
