Thoughts On Brent Burns

925 consecutive games played - wow

Let’s start off with that above statistic. Nine Hundred and Twenty Five consecutive games played. WOW. Only 138 more, and Brent Burns would break Phil Kessel’s all-time ironman record. I hope this isn’t a DaterJinx, but I would expect him to break it.

That’s who the Avs got yesterday, three days after yours truly had him on top three of expected UFA targets. Brent Burns will play a 22nd NHL season with the Avs after signing a one-year, $1 million contract that could earn him up to $4 million in performance bonuses.
