2. Burrows is a Leader
Did you see that scrum? Did you expect Burrows, the chirper and the big-time “under-your-skin” player to rough it up after the game? Well you thought wrong, and I did too.
Maybe it is the Patrick O’Sullivan incident, but Burrows was holding back and was one of the first to call the kids to the dressing room in case they got caught. Kudos to Brandon Prust and Derek Dorsett for taking on half a dozen Panthers.
But, to be honest, we always knew about Burrows’ leadership. He gets under the opponents’ skin regularly, just like so many other NHL players do. But that has nothing to do with what he does for the Canucks.
Burrows is a leader. And he will be as long as he plays in Vancouver.
