Pretty neat story regarding Brent Burns and his son.

http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/09/2...ering-for-calgary-flames-star-johnny-gaudreau


“Johnny Gaudreau is my little guy’s favourite player,†smiled the wonderfully bearded Burns.

“It’s been a sticking point in our house lately because when we play Calgary, he cheers for the Flames. He wants to go to Calgary to cheer them on. I said, ‘I don’t think that’s going to happen, bud.’ I have to talk to him about it and straighten him out a bit.â€


“He plays for the Junior Sharks, and his team is the Flames. He’s obsessed with the Flames. He’s got a Flames room.â€

Truth be told, Burns is okay with it.

“He’s an unbelievable player,†said Burns, whose Canadian squad faced off Tuesday against a U.S. team Gaudreau will soon play on for years to come.

“His ability with the puck to shift side-to-side, he’s like (Patrick) Kane. Those guys are hard to contain. He’s got a great shot and gret hockey sense. Pretty amazing talent.â€

Asked if he’d ease up on Johnny or any of the Young Guns should Canada face them in the playoff round, the Norris Trophy finalist beamed.

“You always finish your hit,†said Burns, ever the entertainer.

“Are you asking if I would not do it because they’re young? Hey, I’d run my little guy if I was playing mini-sticks.â€

:laugh:

In Calgary, Gaudreau is the favorite amongst the youth as well. It probably has a lot to do with his combination of his flashy skillset and his stature. Kids can relate to him since he's closer in height and has a very non-threatening demeanor.

Has everyone forgotten about him at the all-star game? Seems very likeable and charismatic.

I never had much use for Lou Lamoriello and his Steinbrenner machinations, but Burns and Thornton look ridiculous. They are putting themselves in front of the team. Looking like a bad ZZ Top cover band does nothing for the team. It draws attention to them that is undeserved.

Homeless people can't afford beard trimmings :naughty:

Good on him for supporting his son in whoever he wants to cheer for.

Here's how I imagine Burns and his son:
