Mr. Cheapshot

Get a good look, Wild fans. This is the new public enemy No. 1, Alexandre Burrows. Anyone who can get Charlie Brown fired up to the point of fighting clearly deserves this spot at the top of our "most hated" list. Burrows' spear on PMB in the 3rd period borught back memories of Cooke's spear on Willie Mitchell from years ago. And before everyone starts to point out the borderline checks thrown by Boogey, I acknowledge those as well. No. 24 sometimes plays with a reckless abandon that even makes me shudder sometimes.

This is all sort of a moot point, anyways. The Canucks are in free fall and might not even make the playoffs. And even if they are fortunate enough to make it, it'll probably be as an 8 seed, which means a Red Wing sweep.

Next biggest game of the season comes tomorrow against the Colorado Avalanche. A loss by Calgary tonight and a Wild win tomorrow and they can pencil themselves in as the division champ.

I'm so proud of PMB for standing up for himself.

Does anyone have a video of that hit yet? That was classic bush league by Burrows (sp).

Its one ting when a guy throws cheap shots, but it is true cowardice and bush league when I can only back it up by fighting 160 lb players. What a punk! #1 hated player for me

Here is the video of the dirty acty by Burrough, the man is a piece of crap and I hope the Wild take care of him next time they play the Cancuks.
