First time posting in years and this thread is still at the top That is because it is pinned. Personally I would have unpinned it this off season with no disrespect toward Burr.... loved the guy for what he was able to accomplish in his career. I hope he has as much success coaching in Laval (except against the Comets) as he did on the ice as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how this is respecting or disrespecting him, but I guess I can see how some people can get attached to certain things. But we need to learn to move on.

Dr. Hockey Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Burr will be a welcome addition back to the organization after learning and perfecting the art of coaching. Maybe as a pk specialist coach or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will need to be fired, or let go first He was pretty loyal to the Canucks as a player for getting his break here He will be just as loyal to his new team, giving him a new career now Edited October 13, 2018 by ba;;isticsports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your world and priorities change and decisions are made on them, not self. I just am so happy that he's going to remain connected to hockey, a game that gave him everything but he gave everything to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Burrows thread unpinned? It's like the Linden trade all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burrows thread; Do we really need it anymore? If this is the beginning of the end of this thread. I'll just say before it sinks down into the forgotten pits of pages past, that I hope somehow he makes his way back to the Canucks organization. And then we can bump this thread up again! I hope he's back soon at any rate, to accept his place in our Ring of Honour! Good luck Alex! Win da Turd forever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm fine with it being unpinned. But it always strikes me as odd that at least half the posts on this forum are meant to stifle Canucks discussion, shut down threads, unpin threads, call for a lock, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I never understood pinning this tbh, I understand the love the fans had for him because yes he was a great player for this organization, but he was no Sedin, Naslund, Bure, Linden, type of star player. Why no Sedin thread was ever pinned instead I'll never understand, especially since they retired here and are possibly the best Canucks ever, but they don't deserve a pinned thread only Burrows does... It's like CDC felt Burrows was more important to this organization then the Sedins ever were, by showing that will pin the Burrows thread but not a Sedins one, never understood that logic here.

It was the thread itself as opposed to holding Burrows in higher regard than the Sedins. If there is an iconic thread here, that's the one. And it got pinned when Burrows accepted a trade out, which well preceded the Sedins' retirement (for which the forum was temporarily renamed "Sedin Talk").

Yeah I know I saw the title change, which was nice and good, but still thought their thread deserved the same treatment and still deserves to be pinned today, because of how great they were for this organization, just what I think no hate!

danjr Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ohhh noes! The thread is unpinned. Sad day. Thanks Burrows for all you did, especially slaying the dragon. That will live in my heart forever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The itself thread is more just a folklore of CDC. I for one have never had an issue with this thread. Sigh...

Maybe instead of dying inside, it is a temporary empty nest syndrome feeling? Only the pinning has gone (like the kids) but he will always be a part of you It's a thread that you can revisit (just like the kids) You'll be ok and it will still pop up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boest-er Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 dayum I never posted anything in here before but still remember watching its first few pages way back in the day before I even knew how to operate this site. Thanks, burr for all you received you were the very best at what you did. Gonna be a sad day today :(. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Burrows, do we really need to ... let go? Sigh. Maybe, maybe not, but the views expressed in this thread is the heart and soul of the collective CDC. Burrows is already an icon, involved in one of our biggest and absolutely cathartic goals. Is that the right word? Biggest works too. Only guy other than Carter that clicked with the Sedins, and did his job well, and for a lot of it was on a team friendly contract (the last one made up for it). Thanks Burrows, and thanks for Dahlen too. Hopefully he will keep your legacy going, the same way Bertuzzi, Luongo, Sedin, and Markstom did for Linden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
