Undrafted Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Inspirational guy in so many ways, including the choice of my username. He wasn't the first or only undrafted player in Canucks history, nor is he the last; but he's definitely and easily my favourite: The King of the Undrafted.

He’s the type of player that will make a fabulous coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great story of a guy who youd never think would make the nhl but with a little hard work you can achieve your dreams I hope to see the guy back home some day Unfortunately I think he will be indoctrinated into the Habs system, which will induce ++loyalty in a very loyal kind of guy. It will take him a long time to go through the ranks, but he will get reach his goal(s) sooner or later. Perhaps Vancouver scoops him up at some point and gives him a better situation than what Montreal is offering. I would dearly love to see Burr back in Vancouver and think he will make a great coach one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City-in-state-of-emergency Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Kinda feel dirty knowing what we did to Ottawa...... we already said our goodbyes couple years ago as he was going down but Ottawa still insisted on having Burrows for Dahlen hell fans were basically yelling for Burrows to retire at 35 as a Canuck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Laval Burr's hometown? As much as I'd love to see him back with the Canucks organization, it's pretty hard to begrudge him a true hometown gig. In any case, I have no doubt he'll be a fantastic coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The Dragonslayer. He was a pest, but he was our pest. He battled hard. Worked for everything he got. Hopefully he passed that work ethic off on Bo. So Bo can then pass it on to our new group. Congratulations on a fantastic career Burr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Good luck in retirement Burrows. I believe he will be a great coach and looks like one day will be the savior for the Canadiens (given the french connection and all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHatnDart Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Only Canuck jersey I’ve ever purchased and wore it proudly for years. Was waiting for his retirement to make a Horvat purchase, but now that it’s here I’m feeling kinda down about the idea Great career Alex, you’re the kind of player that all kids can and should look up to; that you don’t need to necessarily be the most skilled, but if you work hard enough and believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything.

The thing about legends is their jerseys never go out of style. I still wear Linden jerseys proudly. I am also waiting to purchase a Horvat jersey, but I’m going to wait until it has the “C” on it.

Standing_Tall#37 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Good for him, he had the best give-a- $&!# meter of most of our last cup run core. Wish him all the best and thank him for his Canucks years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
