Popular Post SergioMomesso Posted December 30, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2011 On hank and Danny's second goal, Burrows stole the puck both times. And everyone outside of Canuck nation thinks he is benefitting from the Sedin's superb play. I don't think Carter, Pyatt or Jason King would have made any of those plays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luongo_01 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I still can't get over the myopia and hysteria of the OP. This may be the funniest (or worst) CDC thread ever created. ... and there have been many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnabyBoy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Wow, "scorched" is a serious under-estimation. No better words than what has been said earlier by others. Perfect fit, can skate with anyone, catalyst for better players, clean-up and set up man, unafraid (I mean he's small but he was all over Thorton the other nite!!!). One of my favorites.

The Bookie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I just re-read the op, first time in forever. I lol'ed so hard at the end where he says to keep krog, pettinger or brown and i was like "who?" and then i remembered and i lol'ed again. the only thing I remember about Pettinger was once going into OT, I decided to make a crazy prediction and called him with the game winner. He wound up trying to block a shot, the puck went off his skate, and into our own net. Bad call on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaeneir Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 i swear the second i can im changing my name on here to clutch and paying homage to a great i wish CDC had rafters so we could hang clutches numbers off them A number of players (Carter, Pyatt, etc) definitely benefited from playing with the Sedins. I don't think there's any question that Burrows also benefits from playing with them. The difference, in my mind, is that Burrows really is the first player that the Sedins have benefited from playin with. Every other player has taken on the role of a bag of pucks for the Sedins to bank shots off of into the net. Burrows is the first player to actually bring a new element to their game that has helped them step it up to another level. His level of compete and commitment generates all kinds of opportunities for the Sedins to cash in on that any other linemate simply would not have created. Their rise from exceptional players to truly elite coincides with them starting to play with Burrows, and I don't thank that's simply happenstance. Burr is the first guy that actually helps them back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skks_King Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It would be really weird if clutch was related to Burrows and he made this thread to push him to do well or something I can't help but notice how well he has begun to do since 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works so well with them because he isn't only the recipient of those Sedin passes, he makes plays along with them too instead of just going to the front of the net and staying there. Such a smart player and a perfect compliment to them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Some great points being made about how Burr's helped the Sedins to elevate their game vs simply being the beneficiary of it. I love how he's in tune with where they're going to be on the ice...he can do those little back passes right onto their sticks and the flow and synchronicity between the 3 of them is pretty incredible to watch. Burrdins, yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Every time I see this thread bumped I get excited because I think he's scored. And then I remember that the Canucks don't play hockey games at 12:51 am 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
