Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?

I'm starting to think all the Alex Burrows band wagoners are getting out of control.

Nobody can say A.Burrows has had a poor season but lets get real here you guys.

This is probably a prime example of a flukey season and I know for a fact A.Burrows

will not be able to keep this pace going into next year and the years after.

I like A.Burrows work ethic but thats just about it. Now that he's on the 1st line, he's started

to lax off by not playing the gritty style that made him an asset to the canucks.

I'm gonna be blunt and it might hurt some of your feelings but its the truth Burrows is a one trick pony.

If you've looked most of his goals 90% of them are garbage goals reminiscent of A.Carter

Once Burrows begins to struggle you'll all start to turn on him but don't tell me I didn't tell you so

And A.Burrows is not a $2 million dollar player 1.2.-1.3 MAX.

I've been a fan since the off season, after what I heard he did for the Bourdons.

Linden was my favorite, but he retired, so I had to replace him.

Burrows was my choice.

#1 - I'm not a bandwagoner. We've been Burrows fans in this household since 2005. Probably the first ones to ever get his autograph (so long ago now that it's almost worn off).

#2 - Where would we be without him?

#3 - It's about more than just scoring goals and Burrows IS NOT a one trick pony. He can do it all and his heart & determination see to that.

#4 - All players "struggle" at times - it's only natural for that to happen. That being said, some of us appreciate what he brings to this team - something you don't quite understand apparently.

#5 - A flukey "season" is kind of unrealistic. A flukey game - sure. When it turns into a season, it's more than a fluke.

Hard to fake your way thru 82 games.....

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.

are u retarded?? seriously u must b the stupidest person thats ever posted on this site...kesler carrying him???he hasnt even been on the same line as kes for months...he cant score?? he's got his 21'st goal this season which is pretty damn good for someone whos only in the nhl because he's "great on the pk" and "has grit"

get of this site retard

Actually if you watched Burrows' goals, nearly all of them are not easy tap in where the Sedin's to all the work. Burrows has scored most of his using speed to beat players and brilliantly deflecting pucks in.

Even if Burrows is playing less gritty as you say, I think his goal scoring is sure making up for his lost asset.

go away. burrows earned that contract hardcore. no one has put more effort into his game over the past 3 years than burrows, and he doesn't show any sign of slowing down. where do you get off thinking that he's lost his gritty edge? i can't even begin to extrapolate everything that's so absolutely wrong with this quote. you should get off cdc and probably actually watch some games. don't worry about hurting other people's feelings because even the retards that this place is full of can't possibly take you seriously. again, go away.
