For
reasons explained in an earlier post, I'll likely be digging through my backlog of older cards for the next while...
Good thing I really like some of them, like this
Alexandre Burrows swatch card, from
Panini's
2010-11 Certified (card #AB of the
Fabric Of the Game sub-set, featuring a nice big, blue swatch, numbered 85/250):
You might get a bit of a shock looking at Burrows' statistics this season - he had not scored a single goal until March 12th (he's got 5 since), and just 9 assists, but keep in mind his linemates are also in a season-long slump, with
Henrik Sedin having just 10 goals and 36 assists, and
Daniel Sedin at 14 goals and 28 assists. All of Burrows' goals have come since the Sedins have been out with injuries...
Nevertheless, the four-time 25-goal scorer (with a career-high of 35 in 2009-10) is still an adept sniper who can handle pain, play injured, and lead by example. If what he needs is a change in scenery, I'll welcome him to Montréal with open arms...
