Zawaski: Alex Burrows Is A Tool

By Jay Zawaski-

Sometimes I forget just how loathsome the Vancouver Canucks are.

Really.  I know I dislike them.  I know you, the reader, dislikes them.

I know every other team in the NHL dislikes them, but I forget sometimes.  Well, no one reminds me of that hatred like Alex Burrows.  You know Burrows...the hair pulling, finger biting, and now groin kneeing Canuck.  To call him an agitator would be an insult to effective agitators like Dino Ciccarelli and Theo Fleury.  Those guys could play the game a bit, and would only tip toe over the line, rather than take a leak all over it.  You can talk about how fighting is bad for the game, but at least there is respect and sportsmanship in a hockey fight.  Both guys agree, and they go.  There is nothing respectful about Burrows' antics.  There is nothing worse than a coward.  Burrows is a coward...and his opponents and teammates notice.
