Again no disrespect to Burr but I agree that it is definitely time to move on. However, I think that people are enjoying the novelty of a never-ending thread (oops, I just added to it).

Popular Post -DLC- Posted June 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2017 We've addressed the "moving on" part previously. It certainly doesn't hurt anyone to have this thread in place and, just as Burr's history with the organization is unique, so is this thread. Burr's absence will be felt for some time and this thread is a place for people to discuss him and serves as a reminder of what hard work can accomplish. That's a good message to keep "open". The option to simply disregard the thread is a simple one, so it doesn't seem pressing to have to shut it down. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is unique given when it was posted and how much one player can generate....it's great to see his name on or near the top of my phone when I log in, and will miss it if it's gone. I'm all for keeping it here for a long, long time. Respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post souprshooter Posted June 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2017 Can't believe people are saying the mods should unpin this thread... this thread is a unique historical piece of CDC history lol!!! Like saying take down the jerseys down the rafters because it's time to move on... they stay there and bother no one, but remind us of great moments and players. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalie73 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 On 2016-02-06 at 11:17 AM, debluvscanucks said: http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=867378&utm_source=social&utm_medium=hootsuite&utm_campaign= When Alex Burrows was approached about becoming the new spokesperson for Hockey Talks, an organization encouraging conversation about mental health, he didn’t say yes and he didn’t say no. He asked to phone a friend. Filling the shoes of former spokesperson Kevin Bieksa seemed like a daunting task with how much involvement Bieksa had in creating and supporting the initiative, so Burrows wanted to get the blessing of his former teammate. Bieksa said he’d be honoured Burrows fill his shoes - under one condition: “He told me to try and speak English and not butcher the messaging,” laughed Burrows, adding that Bieksa is a “real funny guy.” “In all seriousness, Kevin feels that I can do a good job spreading the word and he was more than happy to let me do it, he knew how much I cared about Rick too. It is very important for all of us to make sure we’re raising awareness about mental health and ensuring people are open and aren’t afraid to talk about anything that is bothering them.” The Canucks host their fourth annual Hockey Talks Day this Saturday, February 6th, when Vancouver welcomes Calgary to Rogers Arena. As part of the night, Burrows’ face and message will be here, there and everywhere. Another face you’ll become familiar with belongs to Myles Mattila. The 16-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., learned how to skate when he was three and has been playing hockey for as long as he can remember. When he was 14, a teammate confided in Mattila that he was battling depression. Mattila did what he could to get his friend help and upon realizing others may be suffering in silence, he vowed to make a difference. Since then the Okanagan Rockets (BCMML) forward has done just that. In 2015 alone, Myles was the recipient of the YMCA Youth Initiative of the Year award and was the first recipient of Northern Health Community Health Star award. He was also a torchbearer at the Canada Winter Games, as well as nominated for Champions of Wellness award. Mattila is also a youth advocate for MindCheck.ca, a website focused on providing free mental health resources for youth, all while concurrently going to high school. He’s doing as much as he can to ensure anyone who needs to heard, will be. “A lot of people, some hockey players and many athletes included, think you’re just supposed to be tough and play the game, but sports are emotional and it should be okay to show that side of it,” said Mattila, who will be in attendance Saturday at Rogers Arena. “Especially for hockey players, showing that emotion and crying is maybe looked down upon, but at the end of the day, it’s important to show emotions and work through them.” Being vulnerable isn’t a weakness and Mattila used Rick Rypien as an example of an athlete who didn’t feel he could fully expose what he was going through. He suffered in silence and paid the ultimate price. “Educating people on all aspects of mental health can help reduce the stigmas that exist, so in working with Mind Check I’m just trying to be a resource for anyone who needs it. It’s important people know they always have someone to talk to.” With one in five Canadians experiencing a mental health or addiction problem each year, the Canucks salute those like Mattila going the extra mile for mental health. You can too. Use #HockeyTalks to lend your voice through social media; personal photos can be uploaded here to get a Hockey Talks overlay. Social media messages using the hashtag #HockeyTalks will appear as part of an online mosaic to showcase a united voice. Every Canadian NHL team will host a Hockey Talks game, but that’s far from the end of encouraging positive conversations about mental health. The Canucks will host BC Children’s Hospital’s third annual "Balancing Our Minds" on February 11, 2016. The free, one-day workshop is for 1,500 high school aged youth in BC to learn about mental health and engage in fun activities and thoughtful dialogue. Myles Mattila is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

joe-max Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 If Ottawa has a finals run hangover, some injuries and Burrows plays like two years ago, they might be willing to flip him for a bag of pucks and a fourth at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Saw a thread to this sacred thread but moderators got to it...whew. Someone started a "Horvat is a winger!" thread (actually two threads same name). It had some potential to rival this thread someday but deep down, I knew that would be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
