spook007 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Wait... did Burrows suddenly die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Assuming we retire the Sedins, having 7 numbers retired while having 0 Stanley Cup wins is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRypien37 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I respect his tremendous journey against all odds - undrafted, 3 seasons in the ECHL and his progression in Vancouver. However, due to his numerous serious classless antics on the ice, no championships and only 380 total points doesn't warrant his number retired. ROH sure, but nothing more.

I don't think anyone else from this Era of canucks will get either honor. Maybe Hansen if he stays with us his whole career would get a ROH as I feel he is one of the most underrated players in the league Bo Horvat disagrees with this post.... (not saying he's certain to be in the ROH - but he has all the "ingrediants" IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Based on his journey as an undrafted player, his progression and success stories like slaying the dragon I think he should be in the ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Burrows was great for being not drafted but to me you need to be a leader in many categories and he is in maybe wo at best but he has always done his best and was the best as the twins winger so maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 He doesn't come even 1% close to jersey retirement. Although I don't believe this franchise should have any retired numbers. I also loathe the ROH, so again, no to that. If I were Linden for a day and could only do one thing, it would be to tear down that shocking embarrassment. It's a tribute to mediocre hockey and we should be ashamed it was ever mentioned. The only thing we should be considering Burr for is a CUP. Trade him to whoever he feels will give him the best chance of getting the only "ring" players care about - a Stanley Cup ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple cups and Vezina winners are the only ones to get voted in for the last 30 years or so. Lots of other goalies overlooked also.

Cujo: 943 games....0.906 save percentage (pretty average)...454 wins (more of a "team stat" IMHO like GAA though Lou has Cujo beat on that one) 51 shutouts Luongo: 956 games...0.919 save percentage definately NOT average)...449 wins 73 shutouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 In many ways he's a Stan Smyl kind of candidate, being a heart and soul player, gritty and reliable, works hard all of the time and over came all obstacles from preventing both of them to become NHL'ers. Scoring wise relatively similar ( Smyl's era had far more goal production ) and each with a Stanley Cup appearance and more over..Fan Favourites! Hang it high No. 14!

The Lightning won a Cup and only just retired their first number. Our rafters are a tribute to failure and one we should disassociate ourselves from. I mean, I liked Markus Naslund - but to say no-one can ever wear his # again? He wasn't THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
