crossball Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 If Burrows is a career Canuck (which I think he will be), and IF Burrows continues to be this clutch for his career (which he just might), and IF Burrows has his jersey retired in 20 years (which wouldn't be a stretch to imagine anymore), this thread will become the most epic thread in internet history. Just a bit of prognostication. This + It is only a matter of time til we hear SSBURROWS sinks, knots, torpedoes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks in Maryland Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 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.

puck.on.net Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 yeah I know, but do we really want him? Question: If you were GM would you burn a mill off the cap to reward Burrows by topping up his contract? If I possibly could, I would. Then again, Burrows would probably say, 'You know, Mike, if it helps build the team, just put the money where you think best.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks in Maryland Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks2WinStanley Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) <br />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 &quot;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. &quot;He plays with grit&quot; 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.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I'm just curious, how does it feel to be THIS WRONG?<br /><br />HAHAHAHA!<br /><br />BURROWS ROCKS MY WORLD! ARE YOU AN AMERICAN? I SEE YOUR HERO WORSHIP OF KESLER COMING THROUGH MUCH LIKE I DID IN THE AMERICAN COMMENTATING IN GAME 2 LAST NIGHT. YOU YANKS ARE PATHETIC YOU HAVE NO HEROES OF YOUR OWN, SO YOU HAVE TO BORROW ONE OF OURS. LOL! Edited June 5, 2011 by Canucks2WinStanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckpocket Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 In all the hype about bites, hair pulls, referee run-ins and CBC hate, it often gets overlooked that Burr is an incredibly skilled and smart player. He is like a coiled cobra, usually the fastest to spot and pounce on an opening. No wonder he features so prominently in overtime and short-handed goals. Give him a mere sniff, and he'll bite. Last night's OT winner was a piece of fantastic skill when you analyse the whole sequence. It started with Burr faking out Thomas, but there was still some work left to be able to come all the way around the back of the net and on the other side. Thomas, a big man, was sprawled and his stick extended to stop Burr. And right on top of Burr was also Chara, six inches taller and with probably the longest stick in the NHL. So the first thing Burr did was to send the puck on its way first. He fired it against the backboard at exactly the angle where it would rebound and end up on the other side of the goalmouth. Without having to worry about also stick-handling the puck at the same time, Burr then proceeded to hop, skip, jump, push and thread his way through whatever Thomas and Chara threw at him . . . and arrive at exactly the right moment on the other side to extend his stick and gently steer the arriving puck into the net. And all that in mere seconds to beat Thomas's rush to get back in front of net. Legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brahma Bull Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It took me longer to post this comment than it did for Alex Burrows to score in overtime. INCREDIBLE WHAT A PLAYER. BURROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think I'm gonna get a Burrows jersey and have CLUTCH put on the back. I actually saw that at game 1. It was a burrows jersey (or at least a current #14) with masking tape over the namebar and CLUTCH written on the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
