People who say burrows sucks without the sedins clearly forgot his first years in the league.
He started from the fourth line and had to fight to stay with the team (my god was he a good fighter loved watching him fight). But that wasn't all he did, every-time he hit the ice he created scoring chances and was just very smart the way he got his goals. He had 7 goals 5 assists and a load of fights in his first season where he only played 43 games then two seasons later he got moved up to third line then with kesler. Kesler and burrows seemed to ignite each other as both could be playmaker and shooter. And Burrows was used with kes on the PK where the two were very good and anytime burr had the puck on breakaway it ended in the back of the net. It seemed like he could do anything and play well with everyone.
Then in January there was a terrible losing streak (like 8 or 9 games) and AV need to change up the lines and split kesler and burrows and put the sedins with him. He found chemistry with them and they lite him up with fast passing and him going to the front of the net. That years combined with kesler and they sedins he had 28 goals. And kes was learning from sundin which also made him a better player.
Then next year the team exploded the first line and second line had great chemistry and many players had career years in points
Here were the lines that did the damage
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Raymond-Kesler-Samuelson
This year henrik had 112 points and burrows had 35 goals 5 of them shorthanded breakaways
Samuelson,Raymond, kesler, burrows and henrik had the highest point totals of their careers that year.
Burrows was key to the sedins success in points as well as on the power-play.(kes was used with the sedins in 2011 on the powerplay).
He benefited the sedins as much as they helped him and lets just say he had to work very hard to get to the top line lets not forget that.
This year he had the toughest injury of his career and missed many games, I'm not surprised its taking him a while to recover. Have patience guys have patience.
