I've said it before, I'll say it again. Everything anyone wants to say about Burrows being a dirty player, a cheat, classless, slimy, a complete rat, all accurate. But I reserve my real animosity for players who deliberately try to injure other people. He isn't that. I just don't get the priorities many people have about what makes players inexcusably awful in hockey... I'd rather have awful things said to me or my hair pulled than have someone knee me in the head (James Neal) or elbow me in the face (Duncan Keith). Doesn't mean he's a nice guy or anything, it's just if you were picking one person to run out of the league, I'd get the guys who seriously hurt people first.
