arsenalian Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) On the otherside of the coin, I could see the Canucks unloading him at trade deadline. Unfortunately, he's not one of the untouchables. If he were traded, I'd be sorry to see him go. He'll be another Scott Walker or Mike Peca for us, or whatever team he ends up with. I'd like it to be with our team, of course, but that's another thread and not even relevant right now. YES. I'm a Burrows fan! N. Hmmmm... I don't think so. I'd say Kesler, Burrows, and Hodgson are the only untouchables in the organization at the moment. Just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it. edit: Oh and Edler Edited February 11, 2009 by arsenalian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickTheEnvelope Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Let this be a lesson to you kids, create a thread where you really put your foot in it, and someone will always be around to remind you about it whenever the subject of your thread does something to prove you wrong. All of you who started moronic threads during the losing streak: This could be you! The lesson wont catch but it's a lovely thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMCRO Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 we should try Sedins with Burr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Not only is Burr scoring some brilliant (short handed and other) goals, but last night he took 8 f/o's, winning 6 of them. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cremers Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Because we can. This thread is epic and demonstrates how some know very little about what makes for a great player. I, for one, will participate in this thread forever...Burrows deserves it. amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherwisesopel Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 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. Yeah now only if we could get rid of those losers Luongo, Kesler, Bieksa, and the Sedins............... worst thread ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex has been Vancouver's best forward, along with Kesler and the Twins this year. He's been consistent, kills penalties, gets under the skin of his opponents, throws hits, occasionally drops the mitts, and brings incredible energy and work ethic to the lineup. He plays with an edge, so he's going to take some penalties, it happens. To me, he's proven that last season wasn't a fluke. He's a bonafide third-liner, and a good one to boot. And no, not everyone that's fighting for a spot is as good on the PK as Burrows. One more thing: that little shorthanded goal Burrows scored against the Canes? Look back at the end of the season; it may very well be the turning point in Vancouver's year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
