Nice. The 'dragon-slayer's' name is going up on the ring of honor. Hardly ever has a hockey player accomplished more with more cards stacked against him than Burrows. An ECHL'er who willed himself into an NHL career.

Louie Eriksson take note.

Cap team currently sitting 10th in the conference...sigh. I've seen this movie before in December.

Sens started surprisingly well but have come down to earth and lost 4 straight. One of the teams that coming into the season you could definitively say was worse than the canucks. This should be a win.

Anders Nilsson doing Anders Nilsson things. 930 first 8 games, 895 since.

That is what he does. Some team is going to learn to start him the first 10 games of the year then put him on the bench for the next 50-60 and then give him another 10 game run. Probably get yourself 15-16 easy wins that way.

Burrows was amazing in the 2011 playoff run. That fire, the will, sheer determination, doing whatever it took to win. Teams hated him and for good reason, he was a guy that played with a chip on his shoulder, was persistent in puck battles, and said and did whatever it took to get an edge. He was a “player you win with” and played for the Logo on the front of the Jersey and not the name on the back. From ECHL, to AHL, to NHL pest, to playing on the top line, arguably the best line ever in franchise history, to Slaying the Dragon, to scoring clutch goals in the Stanley Cup finals. So much passion and heart. Vancouver Legend.

This month is absolutely huge for this team.

light schedule this week. These games are must win vs sabres and sens imo. Can’t fall behind.

especially since the opponents next week are Toronto , Carolina , San Jose then Vegas twice.

Roussel and Goldobin in - Virtanen not on the ice this morning; Ferland back skating in a full contact jersey, the next step in his return to play protocol. No Beagle or Sutter.

Aren't Roussel and Sutter healthy? Why is the team so silent about what's going on?
Because their medical staff uses this to report to them:

The Virtanen thing is odd... either injury or transaction?

If he wasn’t hurt he would be on the ice. Have to think that a team with Ferland, Roussel and Virtanen is a bit redundant.
