Then this thread came up and I thought 'here we go again'. Well I had tickets for the boxing day game when this thread was going strong. I had fully intended to get myself a H Sedin jersey as my Xmas gift to myself at that game. When I got to the team store the first thing I see is a Burrows jersey. Needless to say, after defending Burrows being on the team for a full year, I bought the Burrows jersey instead. Little did I know Burrows would wind up playing with the Sedins in Feb and they'd become one of the best lines in the NHL. I like to believe my buying his jersey changed the Burrows tide. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, because I remember a lot of the critics of Vigneault making the old "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" argument about his decision to put Burr with the twins... Now, it seems like such a no-brainer, but at the time it was pretty much tantamount to Travis Green putting Schaller on a line with Petey and Bo.

It’s like putting Burrows with the Twins. A perfect complement of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
