[GDT] Sens @ Nucks 03/12/2019 7PM PST - Alex Burrows Ring of Honour Night - Live on SNP

[Kushman]

Two good friends of mine ran into Burr and Mason Raymond at a bar.

Burrows was super friendly and talkative. Raymond was an ass and at one point asked Burrows "why are you talking to these peasants?" Something along those lines anyways, very arrogant.

Burr apparently said something to cool the situation along the lines of "don't pt attention to him". Took a pic with them and then covered their tab before leaving with Raymond.

 

Have never heard a bad Burrows story. Will never forget the dragon slayer.

I know Willie gets a lot of flak but this was awesome. 

 

 

I just noticed, even the panhandler outside is smiling. 

Awesome.

 

Truly a rag to riches story.  Exemplifies hard work and never giving up can take you far in life.  I think that's what is inspiring about Burr.

I heard the two refs for the game are Stephane Auger (out of retirement) and Ron MacLean (first NHL game, apart from an NHL preseason game in 2006).

 

Should be a beauty! 

They're probably bunk mates too.

Maybe Petey should pick up the Bow and Arrow and carry on the tradition? 

[Toyotasfan]

No Graovac , down to 3 centres.

does this mean JT Miller might have to centre a line ? 

Sounds like Rousell is playing.

Schaller has played a ton at center (listed in Hockey db, NHL and Wiki as a center)

Glad Burr's night isn't a Hockey Night In Canada night. I don't want Ron Mclean and his possible pathetic attempts of reconciliation soiling this night. Love you Burr. Many fantastic memories thanks to this fine man.

Why not traditions are meant to be carried forward. 

The dragonslaying arrow as well.

I met Mayray, he was a pretty humble guy.

The dragon slayer... The Goat... The king of kings... The French phenom... I could go on and on... 

 

Going to the game. Center ice nosebleeds. Can't wait! Better get me a bobble head! 

 

Cup or bust!
