Burrows retires

[OmniSens]

Although he lacked production in Ottawa, still a decent career with the Canucks. Happy retirement Alex!

 

[swiftwin]

He was great in our cup run. His injury really hurt us. He was not as great last season.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Happy he played for my two teams. Was a Van hero and I was happy he came here. Not the best trade given what happened last year, but he was 1st star in 2-3 games down the stretch that got us into the playoffs for our epic run, and scored at around a .5ppg clip. That's the kind of production you want to buy at the TDL if you're making a run.

If Dahlen becomes a good player, well, at least he plays for the Nucks which will be great for my power group!

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

I cant believe this offseason... we are losing our best D-man, 3rd best forward and now our 6th best 4th liner

 

[The Professional]

Good f***ing riddance. Guy was a huge diving, cheapshotting rat and it was a disgrace to see him in a Sens jersey. Even worst that he basically took Neil's spot on the roster and it forced Neiler into retirement. Would really have rather re-signed Neil for another season instead of having Burrows; seeing an all-time Sens legend like Neil play one last year would at least have been a small positive point in the train wreck that was last season.

False.

 

[DJB]

Bite me.

Careful. Didnt he do that?

 

[BondraTime]

Find it really funny we signed him to a 2-year deal in 2017 and in 2018 he's an Assistant coach in the Montreal organization being paid by us.

 

[aragorn]

One down, a few more to go .... hopefully, Gaborik should be next.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Remember when we gave him a two year extension?

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Good bye Alex!

Have fun with the ball hockey

 

[DrEasy]

I hope his intangibles don't linger too much.

 

[Cosmix]

One down, a few more to go .... hopefully, Gaborik should be next.

Followed by Dorion and Melnyk.

 

[Beville]

Meh.

 

[DanyHeatley]

and no one gives a duck

we immediately lose the trade if dahlen makes it to the big leagues this season.

 

[swiftwin]

False.

Are you suggesting he was good least season?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

What a trade.

 

[Slack]

Adieu, Alex. Now you can go mentor kids on how to properly knee someone in the back of the head.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Remember when we gave him a two year extension?

Remember when he waived his NTC for us just because we were one of the few teams that he’d sign with and we still ended up giving away a good prospect despite us having all the leverage?

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Not surprising his body can't keep up anymore. These glue guys take a beating out there.

 

[Agent Zub]

I still find it a bit odd Burrows is so hated on here but Ruutu was pretty well liked by the fan base.

ruutu could play and was a beast in shootouts. Perfect 4th liner, very good 3rd liner


Danm I just realized I miss him.

Underrated Sen.

He seems like a nice guy. Off the ice that is. All the best to him.

 

[Sun God Nika]

nice eugene name drop

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Mendes asked if Burrows had ever experienced such negative energy as he did in the last 8-9 months in Ottawa and he said no, he's never seen anything like it... doesn't blame one thing "Eugene, the coaches, the players... Karl... it's not just one thing".

When he says Karl, btw, it seems as though he is just referencing Karl being unsigned and is not alluding to anything we don't already know (just in case anyone wants to try to spin the comment...).

Good interview overall, he's a smart guy. Wise of him to go into coaching.
