Hes not playing at full strength.

Hes not playing at full strength.

What's wrong with him? Almost 1000 teams dropped him today on yahoo fantasy and I'm about to.

 

[AgentCooper]

Just coming back from a pretty major injury. He's looked ok and will improve steadily over the next few weeks I'd say.

EDIT: Scratch that. Injured in game tonight. Hope he takes some time off and gets healthy for October.

Go ahead. Neither us nor Burns will care.

My guess? He's finished. One doesn't come back and play well after getting dropped by almost 1,000 teams in fantasy hockey.

Not even Gretzky would be able to get his confidence back after getting dropped that many times. That's why the league had much higher scoring back then. No one had any fantasy teams to drop players from.

Kevin Kurz ‏@KKurzCSN Looks like Brent Burns left the ice in some pain. Will try to get an update (and probably fail miserably). #SJSharks

the first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one..

Honestly, I hope he takes as much time off as he needs to. I don't care at this point if he misses the rest of the season or not because we're not contending either way. I just want him okay for the long term, he's my favorite Shark right now. Just praying to the hockey gods for his long term health.

He's probably not even injured, just emotionally destroyed from looking himself up in fantasy hockey.

Burns has Demers in his fantasy league.

Seriously **** the hockey gods.

 

[Frosty415]

Seriously **** the hockey gods.

I third this motion.

It didn’t help, either, that the Sharks lost Burns. The defenseman suffered an apparent left leg injury on a hit by Antoine Roussel just five minutes in, and Burns was seen limping badly after the game.

McLellan hinted the injury could be significant.

You've gotta be ****ing kidding me.

I'm so ****ing mad right now. I cannot believe this. WHAT THE ****? WHAT THE **** HOCKEY GODS, WHAT THE **** LUCK, WHY? WHY!?!? WHY DO YOU INJURE BRENT BURNS LIKE THIS?

**** off.

 

[Mafoofoo]

This is what he gets for playing too much Skylanders.

This could be a blessing in disguise.

They injured him to save him for next year. This team isn't going anywhere with what they have. They just don't have the depth up front nor the competency to use what they have properly.

Exactly. I'd like to shut him down for the year if it's serious.

I'd run the top line we have now, and then Couture-Mackinnon-Havlat. Mackinnon would go a long way toward fixing our speed and controlled zone entry problems.
