canuckels Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It was stated on Sportsnet 650, that todd bertuzzi deserves a ring of honor spot over burrows, as he has done MORE for the organization. IMO that's ludacris, I don't take nothing away from the west coast express but overall it's not even close for me. Slaying the dragon, scoring the goal to sweep the blues, the heart, how hard he worked was far more impactful on the Canucks as an organization. So please humour me with some opinions. Bertuzzi or Burrows for ROH.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Both Deserve it, but I believe Big Bert is already retired? Give it to him first, Burrows is concentrating on his time with the Sens. Let him enjoy his moment later... ...that said I would say Burrows deserves it more myself.

Master Mind Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Definitely Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I know your question is Burr or Bert, but Toni Tanti gets in before either of them,. Tanti scored at least 39 goals 5 seasons in a row. To answer your question Burr over Bert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Neither. Neither of them need to be there or have any statistical reason to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 While I am a big fan of both, I don't think either of them should get that honour. Look at the guys that are up there... Kurtenbach - First captain McLean - Franchise leader in several goaltending statistics Gradin - Former highest scoring centre in franchise history Snepts - Former franchise leader in games played and penalty minutes Quinn - Won the 1992 Jack Adams Award Ohlund - Highest scoring defensemen in franchise history While Bert and Burr were a big part of the team for a long time, how do they compare to those kinds of qualifications? The only team record I could find that either are credited with is Burr is tied with Adams for most playoff OT goals. They were great Canucks, just not RoH great.

hlinkas wrister Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't think either should be there based solely on merit but if I had to choose one it would be Alex. I'm still pissed at Bert for him forcing the move out of here, regardless of the context. Bert's was the last player name I put on a jersey and I'll never put another one on again.

This is what happens when the team you and I cheer for has few reasons to celebrate. We have to honour something right? So lets choose a 3rd liner who caught fire in a bottle for a few seasons but worked his way into the urban legend books by scoring a big goal in the first round of a playoff bracket. But yes I would pick him over a guy who, if I close my eyes, all I recall doing is sucker punching an opposing player in the back of the skull. But I would choose pretty much anyone over Bertuzzi. the next player I want to see in the Ring of Honour is the player who leads this team to a Stanley Cup win. That's something worth honouring.

ReggieBush Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Todd Bertuzzi over Burr. No question. Although I would not be opposed to both going up. It would never happen though because Steve Moore would b**** about it. And Patrick O'Sullivan would b**** if Burrows would go up. On second thought, but both of them up. Just to piss off Moore and O'Sullivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Big bert, first. No question. That line with Morrison and naslund introduced a whole new generation of fans. The tho g with burrows it's not a matter of if, it's when he'll get the spot. Both guys gave it their all for this team but bert should get the nod first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bertuzzi and Burrows both deserve ROH. It's real simple though, it should go to Bert first because he's already retired. Bert only played about 500 games as a Canuck. Burr over 800... Bertuzzi was the best power forward in the league for about 1 season. Then he was in the top 5 for most of his tenure in Vancouer. Both are Vancouver's sons IMO. GOATS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I would go Luongo, Kesler, Bertuzzi and then Burrows. Arguably none of them deserve to there, but in the order they should if they all did, that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtieCanuck Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Burrows obviously. It might be the elephant in the room but the Steve Moore thing may have tarnished Berts image a bit too much for him to be in the ring of honour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Two bad asses, hmm..kind of a tie I think. Tanti should go in with whoever else goes in. Tanti (and Sundstrom) led us through some dark times when it was tough to be a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
