[Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?]

Thanks for the mini-mod moment, but most folks around here are fairly aware that Burrows is a Canuck legend - always will be - discussing Burrows will never be 'off topic'.

"Always a Canuck" and all that jazz kinda thing.

I am well aware. Merely pointing out the irony of this topic in a forum full of "mini-mods" as you say who whine whenever any topic that doesn't meet their standards is posted.

 

[Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?]

I think a topic about an member of the Ottawa Senators is off topic for this forum.

[Bo Horvat | #53 | C]

Henrik had 4 full seasons + a lock out year in Sweden before he reached PPG scoring. It is feasible that Bo becomes a viable first line center. Not every team is going to have Crosby or McDavid anchoring their first line. 

[Jake Virtanen | #18 | RW]

I remember when Button had Virtanen at 40 something on his list while everywhere else he was top 10. I thought, Button be crazy. But now it looks like he may have been on to something. Though 40 something is a high Round 2 pick... so maybe we should expect his development/peak to be similar to a typical High Round 2 guy... picked at #6. Yay. 

[NFL thread]

Lol, "BatGate" is pathetic. Was it a penalty according the rule? Sure.

Did Detroit deserve to win because of a technicality applied in a situation that few people knew about? No.

If Wright does ANYTHING else, its a touchback. He swipes at it in a half arsed attempt to catch and it goes out? Touchback. He runs into it and it goes out? Touchback. He catches it and goes down? Touchback.

This is controversy for the sake of controversy. Detroit had no chance at that ball. Even if they did get the call, they still had to score. Even if they scored, Seattle still gets the ball. Claiming Detroit should have won is ridiculous and if this happened in the first quarter no one would give a s***.

[[PGT] Things are not adding up guys.]

People are over-reacting.

We simply ran up against the defensive juggernaut that is the Edmonton Oilers. You can't expect players, even Olympic caliber players, to overcome such a formidable opponent.
