Alexandre Burrows. Forever a Canuck. The first Canuck’s game I saw was at Rogers Arena. It was magical. Burrows skated as though he was floating over the ice. Watching #14 on the ice was a thrill. He must have angels by his side! Vancouver will never be the same. I feel the same sense of inspiration, as was mention in Sarah’s beautiful farewell message. Thank you, Burrows. That is all I can offer you, as well. Yesterday was such a sad day, when I heard he was traded to the Senators. The only good news is watching Burrows make his mark with the Ottawa Senators. Alexandre Burrows, you make hockey magical.
