NHL: In an unforgettable 11 seasons, Brent Burns became the most unique and talented player to ever wear a San Jose Sharks uniform.
SAN JOSE – An argument can be made that Brent Burns is the most unique and talented player to ever wear a San Jose Sharks uniform.
“He didn’t have the beard, he didn’t have the long hair, but he had the tattoos,” Sharks captain Logan Couture said of Burns’ arrival in San Jose from Minnesota in 2011. “I remember asking about all of the tattoos. I remember him telling me he got his first one when he was 11.” Burns’ consecutive games played streak of 680, which began in November 2013, is the third longest all-time for a defenseman, behind only Keith Yandle and Jay Bouwmeester .
Burns has 59 points in 83 playoff games, including 24 points in 24 games with the Sharks in 2016, helping the team advance to the Stanley Cup Final. Carolina Hurricanes’ Brent Burns skates against the Columbus Blue Jackets during the second period of an NHL pre-season hockey game in Raleigh, N.C., Monday, Oct. 3, 2022. In Burns’ former home in the suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul, which he affectionately called “the zoo” in a 2008 CBC video, he had a reptile room in the basement where he, at the time, said he kept about 40 snakes. None were poisonous, but some pythons were in the mix.
