“I didn’t even think I’d make it to the NHL when I played those tournaments [in ‘03 and ‘05]. To be here now, seven seasons into my NHL career and representing Canada, I’ve come a long way and I’m proud of it.”

fortnucks: Hi everybody, Alex Burrows here. I’m in Helsinki, Finland for the World Championships and I thought it might be fun to keep a blog during my time here. My writing resume will double with this blog, the only other time I’ve done something like this was when I wrote a blog for Canucks.com, but that was a long time ago. Disco might have still been popular. Anyways, welcome to Finland, as I’m sure you noticed, it’s cold here. I packed for the occasion thankfully and am now adjusted to the weather. What I’m struggling to adjust to is the 10 hour time difference from here to Vancouver. We landed in Helsinki on Wednesday after a few days spent practicing and bonding in Zurich, so we haven’t been here too long. I’m hoping to feel more at home Friday. It’s Thursday night for me and we play our first game tomorrow against Zdeno Chara and Team Slovakia. I can’t tell you how excited I am to put a Team Canada jersey on and hit the ice. Dream come true. I practiced with Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins today, so I think we’ll play together tomorrow. Should be interesting. Lots of nickname possibilities for us ha ha. I’m focused on playing a solid 2-way game with a lot of the forecheck, and providing net presence. I’m also hoping to play a big role on the PK. It’s odd coming together with NHL rivals like this, but there’s no hard feelings or grudges, we’re all here to win Gold for Canada. One guy I’ll get to know well is Marc-Édouard Vlasic, the only other player from Quebec. We’re roommates. That’s about all I’ve got right now, hope to have you cheering on Team Canada tomorrow! Have a good rest of your day. Bedtime for me now. Burr *Photo credit to Jeff Vinnick, who is at the World Championships shooting for the IIHF.

theyslayedthedragon: Heartbreak. It’s really all that can be said. But, where there is sorrow, light may find it’s way. In a league of parody, anything can happen, as you’ve seen. Next season, it’s ours. But for now, we stand tall and accept defeat. Be bigger people. I love this city. I love this team. Your jokes and jabs don’t bother me anymore. I love this sport. And tonight, I thank you, Vancouver. Vancouver Canucks, thank you for another great season.
