Burrows got hurt on the 5 on 3 PK, if he doesn't block those lanes the game is over in the second. Just because they went on to lose in the end doesn't justify playing like crap early on. If he had gotten hurt in the last minute of play on the PK, already down 4-1 I could understand a little (everyone always talks about playing hard for a full 60, so he should still be blocking shots even then).


EDIT - I just looked up man games lost due to injury, in 2010/11 the rangers ranked 9th, in 2011/12 they were 17th and in 2012/13 they were 27th. The Canucks finished higher (more injuries) in two of those years (11/12 & 12/13). I don't think it's Tortarella's system that keeps Canucks on the IR.

But, we had Salo.

Woah.... case and point.

Booth is our new Salo.

Well... that Burrows news kinda sucks. Do we know for sure it was a blocked shot or are we jumping to assumptions.

What are you talking about, we don't jump to assumptions. We're the most level headed fans in the league.

As the head coach I don't want to lose this room.

and Esplen?

he does have the legs

How good would Turris look on our top 6 right now. CBC said that since the trade he leads the sens in goals with 18 (12 in Regular season and 6 in playoffs.)

Who has him in the pool?

Don't let facts get in the way.

Hows it going Yeti?

Dam I should have dressed Gionta today.

Well if I'm the coach I'd put the twins together with Bloated.

Great! Perhaps Dalpe gets a more offensive opportunity.

Nvm: Bottom six

Weise - Richardson - Santorelli
Sestito - Dalpe - Alberts

Washington's PP is downright lethal. I remember those days...

Pshhh... Booner's too good a GM to demote the team's leading scorer just because his attitude rubs a benchwarmer the wrong way.

Towards the end of AV's tenure the PP became sooo predictable. It was embarrassing.

It was amazing they scored at all.

Right now our PP has no identity at all.

I know Tesla was an extreme genius but did he have a doctrine in anything?
