Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks celebrate Alex Burrows with Ring of Honour induction On Tuesday night, the Vancouver Canucks will induct Alex Burrows into their Ring of Honour, then Antoine Roussel returns to the lineup after an absence of nearly nine months as the Canucks host the Ottawa Senators.

Thanks Carol.

Great read.
As usual.

Interesting lineup deployment tonight.

Thanks Carol! Will be interesting to see how those lines work, and how quickly they get thrown into the blender if they don't.

Love Burr, he's deservedly going to get a heroes welcome tonight. 5-2 Canucks W!

Well done Carol.

Hoping Burr has his gear so he can suit up tonight when another player gets injured.

Carol, I think you need to edit this sentence:

"....Playing mostly with the Sedins, Burrows ended up hitting his regular-season offensive peak that year, with 35 goals and 67 assists."

I think you meant 67 points. I just about questioned myself as a Canuck fan, thinking I must have missed the season when Burrows got 102 points?

I did the same thing I actually googled his point totals to make sure I wasn't crazy

He was a super pest that could play, which is rare.
he made me laugh too.

Roussel should provide some much needed grit and physicality to the lineup.

Hopefully no one is hurt or offended.

I just finished reading Drance's Oral History - only skimmed it earlier when I was working on the blog.

The part where Luongo had to relieve Cory Schneider after her cramped up in Chicago is absolute gold.

Schneider: I’m lying on my back, crowd is going berserk, and yeah, that song is playing. And I remember Mike Bernstein, his face an inch from my cage, yelling at me, “Are you OK?” I don’t want to say it was embarrassing, but you don’t want to have it happen.

Luongo: As soon as I went through those doors and stepped on the bench, all I saw is the crowd going nuts. I felt like I was in the WWE, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Patrick Sharp: Lu brought the best out of our fans. I remember he came into the game and the building just went to another level.

Agreed. Hopefully Roussel doesn’t use any swear words and remembers to finish all scrums with a heartfelt hug 🤗🥰

It would make a lot of posters here happy.

My favourite Canuck during his time in Van. Looking forward to the game tonight

Burrows, Kesler, Bieksa brought it. Those were the days, the game has changed.

Devils have fired John Hynes. Three NHL coaches let go the past two weeks.

Thanks Carol. I debated on this game for awhile. Bought tickets for my mom as Burrow's is her favourite player!!
