Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?

[Small_Member 5]

Guys like Burrows win your team the Stanley Cup.

Burrows is hands down my favorite player, and plenty of other peoples favorites. He's an inspiration for a lot of people to play hockey. Sometimes hard work does pay off and Burr has earned every inch of respect he's given.

clutch is obviously a masochist. Noone is stupid enough to think Burrows sucks, so I think he's just spreading em and saying "Hey CDC posters, come rape me, I love it, I need attention, any sort of attention!"

Clutch obviously just wants to see how many people react to this thread. We should all just let this thread die

If we let him go i can garentee he would find a job easy

hes the kind of guy that gets in peoples face he throws game breakers like Lecavier off their game

when he can get someone like Iginla to fight him who do you thinks its going to hurt more Iginla off the flames for 5 mins or burrows off the canucks for 5

Burrows is the consummate team player. He get wacked and stacked each and every night and loves it...

From what I hear he's very well liked in the locker room. He's great for this teams chemistry.

I agree .. Burrows is a joke . weak skater ..weak fighter.. cant really trash talk cuz you can't understand him with that accent.

who cares if he doesn't cost us much. he is garbage .. easily replaced

[27Snepsts 23]

Burrows is a joke? Easily replaced? GARBAGE? lol.

Give ur head a shake buddy, he does the job he is paid to do night in and night out, and the fact he can put a few points up at the same time? Burrows is the type of role player that can help you hoist hockey's holy grail.

This guy is a very valuable piece to our hockey club.

Why would you want to lose him?

Jeez. If that's the case, we might as well get rid of half of our team.

You've only listed one debateable reason as to why we should dump him. Would you care to add more? (besides the fact that he's French-Canadian)

Burrows was one of Pierre Mcguires MONSTERS OF THE YEAR last year. I think the OP is the only person who thinks this.

[27Snepsts 23]

yup a joke .. have you seen him fight .. haha it makes me howl .

If the third line, hopefully consisting of Kesler, Burrows and Hansen can agitate, hit, forecheck hard, create chances, put up some decent numbers, plus all three guys have great wheels, then why do we even need burrows to fight?

Hordichuk can scrap, Brown can scrap, Davidson isnt afraid to drop em. Overall team toughness has gone up considerably over last season. To say the guy is a joke because he cant fight is ridiculous

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.

He took one stupid penalty he had 3 points in the last game and a point in the first game he played, you buddy are not making friends on here at all

LOL every single post so far has disagreed with the OP. I think he's making a case for himself to be a better agitator (of CDC) than Burrows j/k

Burrows is the bomb and is complete role player. Got not one bad thing to say about him.

[lumpy 6]

didn't Crosby mention something about how he likes Burrows chippiness or something like that??

it doesn't matter if u like Crosby or not, but i'm taking a guess that he'd no more about hockey then the OP..

[GusAdams 18]

yup a joke .. have you seen him fight .. haha it makes me howl .

We dont need him fighting we got players to do that. Hordy and Davison are heavyweights, and brown and RR are midlleweights whay does Burrows have to fight.

[Hafizzle 199]

Your opinion is inept. He is perfect at doing his job. He agitates, he is a ferocious checker and he scores an occassional goal.

Buy a clue buddy!

What he said.
