RUPERTKBD Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It's going to be great to get Burrows back, but I honestly believe we're missing Edler and Stanton more. The amount of shots given up in the last while, along with the late game collapses tell me that the top four are being overtaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Burrows must be nearly recovered from his foot injury. Cant wait to get the heart and soul of this team back. Foot injury? He broke his jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 C'mon people, let's fire this bus up. "Burr baby, Burr" Sing it with me, dance it out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I hate to say it, and it certainly wasn't the original opinion in this thread, but do we really need him with our current team? We have good bottom 6 depth coming up for now and in future and if he can't find a way to contribute offensively (along with everyone else!) then it'd be something to consider if he'd accept being moved to a contender at the deadline. Burr's a heat and soul guy who's done a lot for this team, and can still do a lot so I'm happy to keep him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It's all my fault. I have not posted in this thread in a while. Now that I have, expect multiple hat-trick games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Enough is enough he has been brutal along with Daniel sedin who have been two of our worst forwards for the last bit. People who want to say he brings other intangibles... He doesn't. His defensive play has gone down the toilet, something that used to be his bread and butter He's so concerned with diving to draw a penalty he makes ryan Kesler look like he never made a head snap. He's shouldn't be immune to this rediculous special treatment he's been getting from the staff and fans , he doesn't even make a hit anymore! Play him a line below David booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Do the Canucks really need Burrows? Pre-Tortorella - YES Post-AV - NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU SERIOUS Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I can't believe some of the comments here - promoting Burrows like he's the next coming of Christ. Burrows has been ineffective for almost a year! Where have you been? Stop hanging onto old memories and get with the times. He is older, slower and constantly out of sync than ever before. It's called aging. The same thing that is affecting others on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksnihilist Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Burrows has been great for so long - whole ever keeps bringing this thread up - please stop He is mid 30s... What do u expect? This is when he should play on te 3rd line in support and be winning a cup! Nonis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Singh Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He will play. He'll play on the first line. He'll play with Henrik and Daniel Sedin. Give them one more chance together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silfverberg Snipes Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Health is the key issue with him. I fully believe that the slew of injuries has set him back a lot. Give him a proper off-season to recover and he will be fine. Only the idiots will believe his time is through. The only thing missing from his game is timing and once he gets back up to game speed he'll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think Burrows would continue his great play under AV in New York. Let the Canucks get Callahan. He's a Tortorella guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) LOL. Perfect night to resurrect this thread. I have to admit...as a Burrows fan...tonite - I can't forgive the stupidity of him watching Booth take a dumb high-sticking penalty for jostling that cost the team their momentum...& then Burr does the SAME damn thing. Dumb!! And - I totally agree the falling & flopping made my eyes roll more than once or twice. I KNOW he skates like a spaz at times ..but NOT staying upon his skates ...makes him look a lot like a non-scoring MayRay lately. Burr & Booth need to pay a greater price.... & be more accountable. Sully didn't do enough of THAT with Burr....he put him back out there again - late. Wrong call. Maybe, Torts will make it so. The thought of trading Burr won't break my heart anymore. Up 'n' coming young stars may be supplanting him next year anyway. Where is his value now? Who knows?! But if calls come-in from around the league for this player...and I were Mike Gillis... I wouldn't be hanging-up too quickly. Edited February 1, 2014 by viking mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think it's pretty apparent that we DO need him. Look what happens when he's off...the team loses a step, bigtime. That aquarium he's wearing will be gone soon...I believe he's had a hard time adjusting to it. Vision is not good, especially on the boards when he's fighting for the puck. When he clicks, the team's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he clicks, the team's better. Give him until the trade deadline. If he's still not "normal" as in producing as he has with the Sedins, OUT. Or put him on the third. And if it comes between Hansen or Burrows, I'll take Burrows any day; $4,000,000/ yr is a hefty price for a third liner though. But it's Burrows. The Canucks need scoring. Callahan might be available. I think Burrows going to NYR in a package for Callahan is a great idea. Edited February 1, 2014 by Me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
