Nuxfanabroad Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Van City should announce a parade to properly wind down this thread. Also starting a new team era. Last word in this here 500+ page turner(NYTimes book review dubbed, "a riveting, rollicking ride!") should go to Deb... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think this thread was so unique. It took on a life of its own. It was unpinned for years, yet consistently was bumped up. Why? Because that dastardly Alex kept scoring big goals, or getting in trouble with Buttman. So I gather the pinning, at the time, was simply to make it more convenient as it inevitably was going to be bumped anyways. Personally, I think this thread would have been fine unpinned as it had been. Part of the lore of the thread was how long it survived unpinned, being bumped almost every game. That says a lot about the player. I think if there were such an unprecedentedly grass roots built popular thread about the Sedins, started back when there was still a debate about their abilities, when they were called 'sisters', and then, as Alex did, they proved the doubters wrong, it may have also rose to mythical proportions, and it may have eventually been pinned as well. It just so happened that it was Alex. I love how it grew so spontaneously, naturally, shadowing Alex's career. And how a lot of us, most of us, could see the potential in this jacked up, hockey loving, consummate never-quit team player, even back then. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It's the right word. It was the definition of catharsis when it comes to goals, after the previous two years of losing to the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the thing with Burrows was his work ethic, he just never gave up and you cannot like a guy for that ever, then how he adapted into adding scoring to his resume or being better offensively when he wasn't that type of player to begin with, and to be a 1st line player. Yes the Sedins helped him become that, but he also worked hard and worked on adding that aspect to his game, and that imo made him a huge fan favorite. I definitely respect him and enjoyed him as a Canuck 100%, but I don't categorize him in the same category as those other ex Canucks I listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Zepp Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I see a few on CDC with "Clutch" potential. I am pulling for them - just waiting for a "Virtanen, do we really need him?" thread from one in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 We still need you Burrows. Or at least a player who plays like you did. Can't wait until he returns to the team as an assistant coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I was perusing the AHL website and noticed that Laval plays Utica on February 13th. The season series is 3-2 for Utica so far with 3 games left to play. I wonder how Burrows feels about playing the Canucks farm team and seeing those familiar colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I sure miss *this* move! I'd love to see some of our younger guys try it. Watch a bit of video, execute, and learn how to sell it. The best part is, sometimes he faked the fake and just went forehand. Nothing fancy, just 2 well practiced moves. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
