Konman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The guy is awesome. We are lucky to have him. Anybody thinking differently is out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahz Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This season he seems to have less jump, spunk or that pizaz that earned him huge kudos and a massive contract extension. Quite impressive for an undrafted projected 3rd line checker/grinder. Alex Burrows just looks slow and not himself. I'm not one to ever doubt Burrows because he has always proved the critics wrong but I've been thinking... Remember when Burrows was in beast mode? He had the total package. His game was multi-faceted where he'd agitate the star players into taking retarded penalties. His defensive reliability was legendary and his work ethic Hansen'esque. I felt ashamed last night when he jumped on Backeses Back. C'mon, give St.Louis a 3rd Man In penalty. Even worse is we didn't get to witness the walloping Ballard was gonna give to Backes. Has it come to Alex Burrows refusing to fight anymore? My question is this: Has Alex Burrows become a finesse player allowing him to disregard all the other layers to his game. Seriously, he hasn't fought in forever. At times struggles to back check. Looks like he's slower this year than previous. I just want to see the Alex Burrows of old. Where he did it all. I'm worried he has gotten an "inflated head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
