gizmo2337 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Not only does the thread keep giving, Burr keeps racking up more highlight reels! Wonder what is next? I want to see him score one from behind the net off the back of the goalie.... ...in overtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 2 games into the season and Burrows has no points yet! not to mention a -1 rating! could clutch have been right all along?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He's been terrible so far this season, but was pretty bad down the stretch last season too. I think his time with the Sedins is well and truly over, Kassian was fantastic with them and even Hansen shined. Burrows should be delegated to the 2nd or 3rd line. He has past chemistry with both Kesler and Lapierre, and plays too much of a north-south game nowadays, skating far too much to play with the twins who need a stationary rock in front of the net, which is exactly what Kassian and Hansen are. He'll still get plenty of ice time playing on the 2nd unit PP and 1st PK, but doesn't deserve Sedin-time anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He's just starting slow; the twins' timing is a little off too despite them still putting up points. I'm not worried about Burr at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be a 1st/2nd line player for that amount of $$. Edited January 22, 2013 by babych Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You guys likely didn't see it on TV (away from the play - puck had gone), but Burr got plastered, face first, into the boards in the opener. Not sure if he got his bell rung a bit, but it was right before he took a penalty (and things started to unravel that game). Just something to consider. He'll be fine...players have peaks/valleys but his determination, work ethic and love for the game mean you won't ever hold him down for long. Not worried.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have a feeling he is going to score the GWG tomorrow tonight against Calgary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiun Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Burr has been looking a little lost out there, but it's only two games in and such a long time off. Give it time. His time with the Sedins might be over, but that won't stop him. He was putting up points last year on the third line with Pahlsson and Hansen, and he put up points when he went to the International Hockey Tournament too. Definitely doesn't need the Sedins to elevate his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK's Boys Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He is one of the best two-way players in the league, I love it when he's on the ice because I know the puck isn't going to end up in our own net! Most likely end up in the other teams net. Your just looking for attention because if you truly believe the stuff you said about him you have a brain the size of a sliver...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd rather loose Kesler then Burrows at least he can play in all area's of the game and is reliable unlike Kesler who can not be depended on This was almost as mind numbingly moronic as the post you quoted. Are you trying to be clutch 3.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just in case it gets lost in the midst of all the Kassian celebrations, thought I'd bump this and point out that Big B can now add centreman to his resume. Burrows, is there anything he can't do!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
