The Listening Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It seems like we really did need Burrows. I've watched you and the Canucks play since I was 13, I just entered high school. I'm 23 now, and my second favorite player of all-time behind Luongo, just got traded. It's so sad to realize I'll never see the pesky Burrows in a Canucks sweater again. He was the true heart and soul of this team. He set an example for everyone on the ice, and was a true pillar of kindness off of the ice. I will never forget you Burrows, you have taught the kids coming up well, and I truly hope they learned from a guy who worked the hardest everyday to make sure he has a place on the team. Thanks for the memories. :') 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) It is bittersweet to see Alexandre Burrows go, but there is now way a GM could pass up a decent prospect for a player at the latter years of his career. But what a career so far for a player who has given his all wearing the blue and green. He was never supposed to even be in the NHL, but his tenacity, work ethic, heart, and determination got him from the ECHL to one of the top lines in the NHL. He gave us many memories that Canucks fans will never forget and I hope that he gets the chance to compete for the cup again. Thank you.

Lancaster Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Canucks always needed Burrows.... even including trading him to help the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahyoung Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks for you efforts Burr. Knock it out of the park in Ottawa. Ottawa in the running for the Cup this year. Maybe this is your year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I want to say a sincere thanks to Burrows for his time with the Canucks. He was always considered a gravy train with the Sedins but honestly I think he was highly underrated for all the little things he did that also made them more effective and better players. No one can ever question his heart, his determination, or his team first approach to hockey. This is a great add for Ottawa. His leadership by example is just what they need. Good luck Burr, I am rooting for you and the Sens this spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snucks Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Its true, Burrows was one of the reasons I kept watching the Canucks. Now the guy that interests me the most is a guy Willy doesn't like to play too much, Tryamkin. There isn't much exiting about the Canucks any more, and a lot less after this trade. More empty seats I guess. Its sure been a disaster since 2011. Burrows will maybe finish his career on a winnner. Good for him, a big loss for Canucks.

hsedin33 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Retire this mans jersey. This guy embodies everything it means to be a Canuck. Hard working, built from the ground up, overcame the death of his friend, battled every step of the way, made the league hate him and took the hate for the team and us fans, scored amazing clutch goals. What more could you want in a single player? I'd still buy this guys jersey. Edited February 27, 2017 by hsedin33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Keep the thread, but move it to Around The NHL. Next year if the Canucks get off to a rough start, many folk can come here to moan about him being traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post touchable Posted February 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2017 Dear Alex, We want you to win it. We want you to win it because you slayed the dragon. We want you to win it because you saved the franchise, and took the Sedins to new heights. We want you to win it for every undrafted twenty-year-old kid. Every kid who still has that burning passion, that fire inside, and that unwillingness to give up on their dreams. We want you to win it to show big Jake, that where you're drafted and how talented you are is meaningless if you're not willing to work. If you're not willing to give your heart to the sport and put every ounce of effort you have into every game. We want you to win it because you're the ultimate competitor, the toughest to play against, and the best teammate. We want to see you shoot that arrow to the sky one more time, and then lift the cup towards Luc. And let’s be honest; we want you to win it just to piss off all the haters one more time. Signed sincerely, A Canucks fan 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
