And make no mistake, that is one hell of an accomplishment for Alexandre Burrows. Regardless of the #CanuckTeaParty and their views on his contract. When an undrafted player that toiled in such environs as Greensville and Columbia, South Carolina, and Baton Rouge Louisiana makes the NHL, that is something. You know you want it bad when you wear the Growwl, Inferno and Kingfish uniforms and make a relative pittance for doing so. I respect ( and so should you ) the drive and passion for the game that got him from there to here.
In his 1000th game, Burrows played in the arena where he played his first game, and where he was first put together with the Twins.
