And Bourque has 47 Career NHL goals, so...



I now want some Swedish Meatballs...

Edit: It wouldn't let me add all 47, so my next post has the rest.

3 Justin 3, do you mind updating the file you saved in your photobucket account with the one below? I created that Bork! gif and have seen it somewhere else (outside CP), it just added my name "HD" to it to stop people from claiming it as thier own work. I also fixed the very small bounce the third "Bork!" does (hard to see but it does).



Thanks.

I love the HD Bork gif!
I will update the one I have on file with the newly stamped HD one.
Would you like me to update my avatar too?

BORK BORK BORK!

Nah, the "HD" would be too small to see. You thanked me in your sig anyway.

[3 Justin 3]

Yeah, I will change it ASAP. Also, it wasn't me who posted it outside of CP, and I would never take credit for it. I was going to ask who originally made it, I thought it was the guy who has it as his Avatar.

No matters, thanks!

[HalifaxDrunk]

Thanks!

I'm not saying you were taking credit, just making sure others don't.

If you delete the original one from your photobucket and then upload this new one all your old links will still work. Just make sure you delete the 1st on before uploading or Photobucket will auto rename the file and the links are all screwed up (like now).

Feel free to post it everywhere, spread the word of Bork!

If I see you wearing it, I'll buy you a beer (assuming you're 18+).

Instead of GO FLAMES GO. Chant: "BORK! BORK! BORK!"

I was at the Dome tonight and heard a faint "BORK! BORK! BORK!" during the first GO FLAMES GO chant...

Yes, I heard that too.
Who started that? Reveal yourself!

[Caged Great]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thought I was going crazy.

[ok, ok,....I get it]

I am extremely happy with his play, especially as I heard he was soft.

[Machiavelli]

Yeah, I didn't hear good things about Bourque either. My friends with favorite teams in the East also hate(d) him for unknown reasons. Then when Sutter gave up a second rounder for him I was pretty iffy.

Steal of the off-season.

The "soft" label was because he was often injured. Missing a quarter of the season last year, and half of it the year before. His style of play is exactly now is exactly as it's always has been.

This is a guy who had 16 goals his rookie sesaon, and was on pace for around that besides the injuries the other seasons. He turned 27 a couple weeks back, and it shouldn't be all that surprising if he can become a regular 20 goal guy. The only question mark is, and always has been, is he healthy?

Like I said in the off season, I loved the shift this team took in the off season. I thought we sacrificed goals, but we haven't in the end.

[Hemi-Cuda]

i'm just glad we have him for another season at such a bargain. if he keeps playing this well he's going to be due for a big raise come 2010

[Machiavelli]

Um....I just saw this catchphrase on a Caps message board to celebrate the first NHL goal of Chris Bourque.

Infringement!

[Rerun]

15th goal tonight. I LIKE BORK!!!!!

Isn't it nice that once players get good in Calgary we can actually SIGN them instead of shipping them off to the US?

Should we be worried about future injuries?

Do you know of their nature? I knew this story too, I just don't know if it's something we should be worried about or if you think he has worked through them (as much as any player can).

[killer_carlson]

He is a player who has good, but not great hands. He sees huge benefits from getting hit with the puck at pace and on the tape. If it isn't *right there* he slows his skating down dramatically and therefore loses his advantage of size and speed.

I think if you dropped him off of the line with Langkow and Bertuzzi, he'd really struggle. He'd get chances but not the production. He is a perfect 2nd line winger because his play improves with the quality of his linemates, but will never be too expensive to afford.

Bork Bork Bork.
