BrockBoester Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm aware that many people are going to scorch me for this, but I fail to see why nobody questions his ability to play in the NHL. All of the games I watch with him in the lineup, I find myself screaming at my television because of the unintelligent things the gentleman does. Personally, I'd rather have any of the guys that are fighting for a spot on the team rather than Pettersson. Everyone's #1 reason that they enjoy this player, from what I've surmised based on reading this forum, is that "He's great on the PP." Who cares? Anyone can do this that's fighting for a spot. He can't score and I'm tired of Boeser 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, does he not possess the ability to skate, it's ridiculous, stupid penalties it's endless. "He is going to be one of the top forwards in the league this year" is another common description that is proposed when his name comes up. That is okay, sure he scores insane goals and has even sicker set-ups, and sneaks past defenseman making them look foolish, and was the rookie of the year, but he fails to really be able to finish that job off by being able to fight because he can't. IMHO he's an embarrassment to the team. Please Benning, let this guy go, keep Hutton or Eriksson or Goldobin whoever. You may commence with the letting er rip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows is Mr. clutch and is from the rare line of dragon slayers. The Canaucks haven't many other dragon slayers since the days of Greg Adams.

apollo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Simply one of the greatest Canucks on and off the ice. I don't go to many games a year but I'll certainly be at that Ottawa game. Just to give him the standing O. Legends are never forgotten. Edited August 16, 2019 by apollo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously others see Burrows in a different light than you do. He's not playing for us any more so what difference does it make? Just let it go and accept the fact that you're in the minority on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIC_CITY Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 On 7/22/2019 at 11:43 AM, HockeyHarry said: Theres going to be a lot of Rings of Honors from the last 15yrs as Burrows is just the starting point of that era. At lest four more should be Bieksa, Kelser, Hansen and of course Edler. The way the Canucks new group is shaping up there will be a ton more ROH in the future. Edler will certainly be Honored. I'm not so sure about Bieksa, Kesler or Hansen. Kesler would 100% be a ROH guy if he didn't leave on such bad terms and played a few more seasons in Vancouver. The Canucks reconciled with Bure. Kesler is no Bure. Bieksa was a home grow, tough as nails top 4 defenseman that scored the goal that put us into the finals. Huge goal, but I think he comes up short for the ROH. Hansen was fun to watch. Another Manitoba Moose grad. But you can't go putting all these guys up in the rafters just because you drafted, developed and had some success with them. You need to be one of the best Canucks of all time and you need to wear that jersey proud. Luongo is up next. Then Edler. I think they retire Luongo's number. Not sure abour Edler. The next couple years will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeback_Kings Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I like Bieksa for the ROH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 If any of the Manitoba Moose grads should be in the Ring of Honor, it should start with Bieksa. He was the leader off and on the ice. Aqua owner needs to get off the acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Bieksa should be in the ROH.....if not for his play on the ice, his career with the organization or for his community work....he should be in for his KO of Fedor Fedorov before Burkie drove him to the airport.

skategal Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just saw a tweet from Canuck Place, Alex and his family stopped by to make gingerbread houses with the kids there while he was in town for the ROH celly. How can you not love the guy! Tried to embed the tweet but I get gibberish and we have more than enough of that on CDC already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yes, we really need him now. He is the ingredient the team is missing...a heart and soul guy that can spark the team when the team is behind or when the effort is lacking. A guy who plays abrasively and can chip in goals. Hopefully Roussel fills that need when he gets back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
