TOMapleLaughs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 His whopping 2 assists in the AHL says hi. He needs more seasoning in the AHL. Comets score barely 2 goals a game. Clearly stewing away on that team will not bring about any offensive confidence. That being said, he's still only 20. I'm not expecting much if/when he gets the call.

Tangelos Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nobody's arguing that players have played through worse injuries. What's really amazing is that you think they should. Forget that, you think that they have an obligation to. That in itself is ridiculous. While you're at it, go criticize Sidney Crosby and Sam Gagner for not playing through their broken jaws. Hockey players have a history of fighting through pain and playing when the team needs them most. What I believe is irrelevant because this has happened since the invention of the game up to this day as evident with Bergeron last year. I'm certain that Burrows could probably play with a cage if Bergeron can play with broken ribs that risk puncturing a lung. The cheap shot one liners I'm getting from people here for an easy +1 is quite funny and sad at the same time. If CDC existed in the 19th century you'd probably want to burn Einstein on a stake for redefining gravity lol. This thread is turning into an Adam Sandler movie. Cheap one liners for a quick laugh that really start to get old after the 3rd. I'm done with this thread. Talk about shooting the messenger.

elvis15 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 schroeder close to returning? His projected return was beginning of January. Not sure if that's been adjusted at all, so I wouldn't expect him back before Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Tangelos and Tortorella's Rant for dumbest comments on CDC. You guys really are completing with greats like Clutch on this one.

Tortorella's Rant Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 LOL. Player gets injured and you're ragging on who? Burrows? MG? If you can't handle the fact that injuries are a reality for ANY player you need to go grab a blankie and take a nap. The biggest reason it was a mistake is because he can't produce without the twins and I've harped on that point for years now. Part of the game or not, injuries don't help justify the contract in any way just like they don't help shadow the fact Booth and his contract suck.

Tortorella's Rant Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 This is like crashing your BMW or your Lexus and then regretting that you spent money on buying your car after you crashed it. Seriously, what a stupid comment. Would you also say the same thing if a Sedin got injured? How many points does Burrows have these past few seasons without the twins assistance, again? Riddle me that number then come back and justify how this contract makes sense (it's not an impressive stat). The fact he's overpaid and now injured pisses all over this team. MG has handed out numerous stupid contracts and this is one of them. Sorry fan boys, deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Pretty damn easy to rag on a guy with zero goals. Burrows already had his discount contract. Now that it's done and he's got his raise, of course there will be more complaints when he doesn't light it up. ($4mil seems to be the threshold as of late. Any player making that or more here will be ripped if he's not consistently good.) But did anyone think that his discount rate would last forever? No. Did it make sense for us to just cut him loose as a ufa? Also no. So it is what it is. Deal with it. ps. If a couple of you think the Burrows contract is a problem now, wait until the Sedins start really declining. Y'know, watching this team sag won't be as sad as knowing it was coming a mile away.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well Booth improved after injury. That happened very fast didn't it. Burrows is a huge part of this team and is a player we constantly rely upon to put pucks in the net with the sedins. Had to be very creative in October without him to get the wins.

-DLC- Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Gutted. Poor Burr, rough bout he's going through. Happy (fast) healing to him (hear it's projected to be about 4 weeks?). Bah, humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Amazing that he came back after breaking it and saved a goal that preserved our win. That's why he gets a bit of a pass from the fans (and even the coaches) when he's not scoring goals. He's invaluable in other areas of the game Happy healing Burrito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, humbug. I hope he comes back soon. He was really starting to put his game together . I felt one or two more games he was going to break out.
