RakuRaku Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 To stay on track of the topic... Burrows, do we really need him? Yes and No... Yes, he should come here more often to pump up the morale. No, he's way past his prime to suit up for us. Please just lock up the thread ffs... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrockBoester Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have added my Burrows reaction to the OP. I encourage everyone visiting this thread to do the same if you so desire! THANK YOU BURROWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromday#1 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I don't post often but when I do... The Op of this thread and those who agreed with them are an embarrassment to the hockey community. To bag on a hard working, dedicated, loyal team player was, to say the least, the work of total douche bags... most of whom I would guess never laced them up. Every time I go to a game and see #14 up there in the Ring of Honor, I will smile and say thanks for the great memories! Hopefully one day we will see Mr Burrows behind the bench of another great Canuck team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro17 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This thread will never get old. It should be an internet legend someday. You know, one of those "Hey computer, whats a legendary thread" Computer: "Burrows? Do we really need him?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferlands_Head Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 One thing that always stood out to me about Burr was the fact that he always put the team first. There were so many great memories but there's one interview i'll always remember. When he was asked about re-signing way under market value. He replied "I want to bring the Stanley Cup to Vancouver" LOVE YOU BURR well deserved ROH and forever a Canuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He replied "I want to bring the Stanley Cup to Vancouver" LOVE YOU BURR well deserved ROH and forever a Canuck. So many great moments with Alex Burrows. His speech last night was classic Burr. Even to the point of apologizing to Danny for missing him in the initial celebration after scoring 'the GOAL'. He admitted during the interview that he could not remember anything after scoring. I thought it a tad strange that the Twins did not make an appearance on the ice. IMHO it could have been them who gave him the watch. What should have happened was a pickup or car gift with the Twins driving it onto the ice. A watch? I remember when John Bucyk retired with the Bruins they gave him a car, crystal glass and pictures. I thought the effort last night was on the chinzy side. Congrats to Alex he deserves all he gets. Many fans dwell on his time with the Twins which is fair enough. What stays with me is when Burrows joined Kesler in Van. Those two started the change in attitude of compliancy that existed with the club at that time. Losing was no longer acceptable and if you were going to lose you would go down fighting. I have always believed that Burrows had a more to do with the Twins success than vice versa. He gave them a trigger and created space infront of the net. He also gave them a d-side presence that they needed to improve their puck possession.

Popular Post RUPERTKBD Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 Just saw an interview with Kevin Bieksa on Tim and Sid. (actually Faizal and Sid this time) Asked for a "family friendly" story about Burrows, Juice told about a time in Columbus where Burr got ahold of a live lobster, snuck into the hotel room shared by Bieksa and Kesler and hid the lobster under Kesler's pillow. I'm certain Kes took that well..... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I love that this thread has been around for almost 12 years. It’s a Burr time capsule. It’s gone from a why is this thread still going, to a CDC treasure. Burr, this is your Life. Love it! Just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
