Alex Burrows

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING…
TODAY ELVIS PRESLEY WOULD HAVE BEEN 75…
BUT IN THIS TOWN…THE KING IS DEAD…
LONG LIVE…ALEX BURROWS…
LASTNIGHT BURROWS SCORED HIS…SECOND STRAIGHT…HAT TRICK…
6 GOALS IN 2 GAMES…
THE LAST PLAYER TO PULL THAT OFF...WEARING A VANCOUVER JERSEY…WAS PETRI SKRIKO…
THAT WAS 22 YEARS AGO!!!
FOR THOSE KEEPING SCORE…
BURROWS NOW HAS 7 GOALS…IN HIS LAST 3 GAMES…AND 17 ON THE SEASON…
THERE’S NO SECRET TO HIS SUCCESS…
A LOT OF HARD WORD AND THE SEDINS…
IN THE 26 GAMES THIS SEASON…THIS TRIO HAS BEEN TOGETHER…BURROWS HAS PRODUCED 15 GOALS…
HOWEVER…IN THE 18 GAMES DANIEL MISSED WITH BROKEN FOOT…
BURROWS MANAGED JUST 2…
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW…
IN THE FIRST TWO FULL SEASONS BURROWS PLAYED WITH THE CANUCKS…HE COLLECTED A MERE 15 GOALS…
BUT IN JANUARY OF LAST SEASON…HEAD COACH ALAIN VIGNEAULT TOOK A GAMBLE…
AND PUT BURROWS ON A LINE WITH THE SEDINS…
”VIVA LAS VEGAS”…
BURROWS FINISHED THE SEASON WITH A CAREER HIGH 28 GOALS…
AND AS LONG AS THE SEDINS STAY HEALTHY…
THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN NOT SCORE 35 THIS SEASON…
MAYBE MORE!!!
NOT BAD FOR A KID THAT WAS NOT DRAFTED…
WHO FOUGHT HIS WAY THROUGH THE EAST COAST HOCKEY LEAGUE…
PLAYING FOR…THE GREENVILLE GROWL…
THE BATON ROUGE KINGFISH…
AND THE COLUMBIA INFERNO…
LASTNIGHT HOCKEY FANS IN THIS CITY THREW OVER 50 HATS ONTO THE ICE TO CELEBRATE WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED…
ALTHOUGH TODAY…PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THOSE FANS…TO SIMPLY SAY…
“THANK YOU…THANK YOU VERY MUCH” …
