In the course of a 30-minute interview Wednesday, Brent Burns talked about his Texas ranch, blowing up the transmission in his truck, eating axis deer meat, avoiding push-up contests with Rod Brind’Amour and why he grows his beard so long.
And the Carolina Hurricanes. Yes, Burns talked about them, too. And hockey.
Since 2011, Burns has played for the San Jose Sharks. The big defenseman has won a Norris Trophy, been named an NHL All-Star and played in a Stanley Cup final. At 37, his is a career in full, with or without a Cup.
