[Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?]

Yeah that's what's different about these guys, they aren't selfish with inflated egos, and do what's best for the team. Loads of character, real good guys with heart. Burrows rocks.

Ha this is funny, because as soon as burrows did his thing again last night, I thought of this thread, and here it was at the top of the list. Burrows is becoming a "great" player, in other words, legendary. He has many of these moments under his belt. This whole core group is making history, for sure.

I know allot of people are going to scorch me for this but I fail to see the reason why nobody questions his ability to play in the nhl. Every game i watch with him in the lineup(all of them) I find myself screaming at the tv because of the stupid stuff the guy does. Personally i'd rather have any of the guys that are fighting for a spot on the team rather than burrows. Everyone's #1 reason they like this guy from what I read on this forum "He's great on the pk. Who cares! Anyone can do this thats fighting for a spot. He can't score and i'm tired of kesler carrying this guy on his back night after night, I'm tired of him losing the puck, falling down everywhere seriously this guy falls down a hundred times a night can't he skate its ridiculous, stupid penalties its endless. "He plays with grit" is another common description tossed out when his name comes up. That ok sure he pisses off guys but fails to do really be able finish that job off by being able to fight because he can't. IMOP he's an embarrassment to the team. Please Gillis let this guy go keep Krog or Pettinger or Brown whoever. let er rip.

Uh, you are saying this after game 7 VS the Hawks... He scored the opening goal, and won Game 7 for us in an amazing intercept / brake away goal on the fly. Yeah, he's not perfect, but he does his job and works hard. I think there are other players to be worried about rather than Burrows. He's a keeper.
