Heart and soul guy? Lawls. Bite and dive guy a disgrace to the sport. I might feel a shred of sympathy if Sean Avery suffered a serious injury. Burrows nope not a chance.
Somehow I just can't muster up much sympathy for the diving biting hair pulling moron, if he could somehow get tape worm I would start going back to church.

In all seriousness, I have met him a few times, and listen to him talk about his life.
He's actually a pretty good guy. I hate to say it, but Bieksa is too.
Mods, how long till I'm banned?
I think you actually committed the equivalent of a dive in a forum thread. I don't care what you think about Burrows or Bieksa, but I'd swing the ban hammer just for this sad little bit of martyr wannabe.

I don't get the hate for Burrows. Heart and soul girl who clawed her way from the ECHL. Can score, agitate, and defend. Flames could've used a bitch like her during the Iginla/Kipper years.
She also steps up for his country all the time. At the 2012 WCs it looked like she was the only one who cared. She has also said she would play for Canada if Quebec were to separate.
Two or three overhyped incidents shouldn't incite this much hatred.
FTFY, because only women fight like this:
Kneeing in the dink:
Pulling hair:
Biting (this was his second incident):
Burrows is a punk, a disgrace to the game and Canucks fans are bad people for cheering for him.

He grabbed a clump of hair in a tussle. Just one of those things, can't defend it but it happens. The other two are trivial and overblown. Reminds me of how Oilers fans overreact over some of the stuff Iginla has done.
Take a hockey player. Works his way up to the big leagues from the ECHL. Scores more NHL goals than any other player in ECHL history. Breaks his way in as a gritty PK specialist, but eventually ends up on the first line of a Stanley Cup contender. Can play in every situation, plays hurt, represents his country, heck even represents playing ball hockey in the summer, plays a two-way game, basically everything you could want from a player.
I wouldn't have thought it possible for me to dislike a player like that, but Burrows proved me wrong.
(edit:I agree with Magnum PEI that the hair-pulling thing was completely blown out of proportion. But not the kneeing thing, and not the biting thing, or knocking the teeth out of a teenage goalie in a summer rec league, or the constant diving, etc. )

He reached up, grabbed a clump and pulled.
How is us hating Burrows for BITING the same as Oilers fans hating Iginla? (The worse he did to an Oiler was an accidental slew foot)

Couldnt agree more. Its hard to put your finger on it, Burrows is just scum.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I am generally not one to pile onto this type of a thread, but the irony of Burrows having a broken jaw is too delicious to pass up!
For those that are trying to defend Burrows in this thread, I really doubt anyone is ever hoping that he gets injured badly at all. Burrows will be fine, and we all know it. You can't bridge the biting history to this injury and find some sort of humor? It would be another thing if Burrows was seriously hurt, and his career (or his health even outside of the game) was compromised.
If the injury was a broken leg, or finger.. groin pull, sprain... practically anything else, nobody would be piling on. How could you not expect people to in this instance?
As a huge Burrows/Nucks fan this sucks.. He hasn't done much this year but I feel for the guy.
On a side note: I am fully aware of the rivalry between the two clubs but to be glad someone is injured is extremely immature, real fans don't want to see players hurt.
