Um, he had like a billion glorious chances in the first 2 playoff games and last year he was injured. He will start scoring again soon.

So you seriously thought that he would surpass 30 goals? You would be lying if you said that you did. No one sane expected the Canucks to be one of the highest scoring teams and no one though Burrows would hit 35.

Burrows is awesome. I didn't think he would ever top his last season in goals but he did. Very impressive.

I would rather have a bunch of tall highly skilled players. People forget, you can list all the 5'10 or under guys you want but there is a difference between having one or two on your team compared to having tons. Edmonton is going to have to trade a bunch of them because of this same issue and I would rather not go through the same thing. Right now the way our prospects are looking, we definitely need up and coming size. Like it or not, no matter how skilled these guys are, a bunch of them up and down our line up simply would not work. Say something like this happened Sedin Sedin Rodin Schroeder Hodgson Grabner As your top 6. Do you really think that would cut it? Top 4 defenseman would tear them apart. We need a few roid monkeys and if they don't bulk up or grow, we should trade one or two. I would be fine if they were like Burrows or Kesler gritty but they really don't seem like those type of players so they at least need some size to survive like the Sedins.

Sweet, that is great news. Hopefully he grows some more because the 5'8 really worried me. Here is hoping for a major growth spurt.

5'10 is all good but unfortunately he is not 5'10. The only player ever that is shorter than 5'8 to EVER have a great career is Fleury. Gionta is 5'8 but he really isn't that great. I wouldn't have signed him. Plus you have to look at the big picture. If Hodgson and Rodin make the team, you really do not want anymore midgets. You would be nuts if you didn't want any of our smaller prospects to have a growth spurt. I would rather him grow 2 inches than score a lot of points in College hockey.

Who cares about stats. The real thing we should be looking out for is his height. He needs like a good growth spurt before he becomes 21.

There is a lot of things I would change about the current Canucks that will most likely end up in our offense drying up. The current team takes way too many unnecessary chances to pad their stats. It is working right now but I don't see it holding up in the playoffs when things get tighter. Tightening up our sloppy play and getting Kovalchuk to make sure we can score during those games where it is 0-0 or 1-1 going into the third would be great.

I always liked both Burrows and Kesler even when everyone was jumping on our bottom 6. Although I would never predict that they would score as much as they do now, I would be fine with them on my team even if they didn't score. I will go out on a limb here and say Hansen will be the next good player people bash whenever we trade him. Whoever gets him will get a steal considering we won't get much for him.
