I think we should all get DW the nicest turtleneck a man can have. The man did stick his neck out and try to make the magic happen.

Changed my username name. I’ll change my avatar later to make sure everyone knows to ignore this username too.

to double down on the Paster vs. Pastor in your last profile, you need to have a spelling error somewhere in there just to piss people off.

Currently he’s “only” 42nd on the all time list, but given his iron-man nature and high level of play, Burns has a real chance of finishing in the Chelios/Recchi range of GP.
Fair bet he finishes this season at 1414, for 38th.
Another 80 game season puts him at 1494, passing Gretzky for 24th.
Another 80 game season get him to 1576, at 14th in between Lidstrom and Bourque.
One more 80 game season and he ends up at 1656, just ahead of Recchi for 8th all time.
At that point, it’s up to him. 1779 is the record. He would be 42 and probably still capable of putting in another two seasons as a depth player if he really wanted it. He would hit the record at around the same age that Selanne/Recchi/Chara retired, assuming he gets regular games.
Yes that’s all a lot of GP at his age, but why not? Is he so different from a Chara in terms of his durability and athleticism? Chara got regular shifts till he retired at 44, which is still 5 years in the future for Burns.
Burns seems like the kind of guy who would actually enjoy playing out his career this way, even if it meant bouncing around the league for the fun of it, like a Jagr.

Whoever cussed him out in that parking lot is the real MVP.

Jarvis has zero chill for once.

If Amazon really wanted to DTS their series he'd 100% be one of the guys they follow. Get some real personalities in there like Jarvis and Marchand instead of the usual suspects like McDavid that would make Bob Ross look like Robin Williams by comparison.

Another enforcer dying young due to CTE-related suicide. Unfortunately, shouldn't be too shocking at this point.

It's been confirmed he had been dealing with CTE-related symptoms and I believe it's been confirmed that he took his own life. I suppose it's not confirmed they're related.

Yeah, I knew about the CTE but didn't see it officially reported that he committed suicide.

I don't think anyone officially reports it until the autopsy. But here is a friend of his tweeting about it:

I get this when I click on that. Are you sure he hasn't deleted it and you have a cached version?
