Ghostsof1915 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Clutch said hid himself he was going to get scorched. I just don't think he expected to get nuclear level incineration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find a way to get it signed... I’m going to miss him just as much as the Sedins.. Hey that's the jersey I sold you on Reddit!

Cant think of anyone I'd rather have the new prospects see and learn from on a daily basis. Talk about grit, heart, soul, winning. Montreal might have something to say about that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he speaks... incredibly classy. Love having Crow there too. At first I thought he was the coach at the time... didn't make sense. Loved Burr doing his Crow impression lol! Kept repeating I'm just gonna work hard, etc etc and the contract will work out itself. I like Vancouver etc etc... class act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Now after the announcement of his retirements quite a lot of people on other websites still call Burrows a dirty pest that is not any better than Brat Marchand. How wrong they are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wrong they are! I wouldn't say they are wrong. This market often wore rose coloured glasses when it came to Burrows' antics at various points of his career. It's easy to look the other way when your team benefits. Still he had a really good run here and I wish him all the best post hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This market often wore rose coloured glasses when it came to Burrows' antics at various points of his career. It's easy to look the other way when your team benefits. Still he had a really good run here and I wish him all the best post hockey. He had his questionable moments, especially when he was younger and trying to do anything to stay in the league, but some of his antics were blown way out of proportion (thinking of the Bruins series), he has clearly grown up accepting responsibility for the mistakes he made (thinking of the O'Sullivan comments) and his fine and suspension history is nothing compared to Marchand, or former Canucks pests Cooke or Torres. Unlike these guys he also was willing to drop the gloves and stand up for himself. I also believe his Hall-kneeing was a late reaction to Hall's vicious hit on Larsen (okay, the rose coloured glasses may apply here...). Watching some of the videos above, his interviews, his demeanor off the ice, hearing what his coaches or teammates have said about him, considering his loyalty, his work ethic, his willingsness to learn and to improve, his humbleness and selflessness, I cannot but see a really decent and likeable guy that might have played dirty (as was his role) but is now a responsible and honourable man. Something that many other players that he is compared to still have to grow into. Gosh, sounds a bit dramatic - but he deserves it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
