The ol brain starts to wander Brent Burns best quo
PITTSBURGH A practice day during the Stanley Cup Final meant another full media se sion with Sharks defenseman Brent Burns.That's never a bad thing; Burns has becomeone of the most quotable players in the league, and he's not afraid to give interesting, funny answers even about topics he's talked about a zillion times, like the greatne s of teammate Joe Thornton.MORE: "We all know how this guy, weve said it before, hes a legend," Burns David Moore Jersey said."Hes one of the best to ever play the game. I think its crazy sometimes when I read about him being slow. This guys one of the fastest guys still to play. His pa sing is incredible. In the room, if you ask guys, hes the best teammate to play with. Takes care of everybody hes such a good guy to be around."He really is a legend. Its crazy to think about at the end of the day, your kids playing with his kids. Its Joe Thornton. Its crazy, you know? The guy is just such an unbelievable human and a great teammate."So, Shaquill Griffin Jersey here's the best of 11 minutes or so spent hanging around Burns' locker on Tuesday.- - -On the Sharks' , when they were out-attempted 27-14 and outscored 2-0: "I dunno what it was, but it wasnt too good. I think we gave a lot to them, made them Seattle Seahawks Jersey look fast. Dipped a toe in the water, and it was rough waters. So we kinda got back at after that."- - -On what he was thinking when he somehowcaught up to Penguins winger Carl Hagelin on a semi-breakaway:"'Oh s, when the puck is back there. I dunno, it was a weird bounce. Actually, I didnt even see it, I just saw him start skating and I said 'oh god, I dunno why hes doing that.'Then I saw (the puck)behind us."- - -On how many questions he's had to answer about his personal aesthetic over the year: "A lot probably, huh? I walk around with it, so Im stuck with it. Its alright. I dont mind it. Ill get the teeth fixed when Im done. Theres not really too many options with that. And I couldnt grow a beard for a long time. I was older. Older than you should be, probably."- - -On po sible routine differences during the Final:"I think game days arent really different. I think were all pretty set in our ways. I just think its the idle time.I think youre sitting there, Chris Carson Jersey laying in the bed, and the ol brain starts to wander. I dont like it. The ADD starts going all over the place. It wanders. Hard to counteractthat (ol brain)."- - -On switching from defense to forward at times during his career: "You just turn your brain off and turn your legs on. Have fun, no stre s, then go back to D, turn the brain on and youve got to start thinking again."- - -On someone's Shaquem Griffin Jersey phone, with a "Star Wars" cantina ring tone, going off during a seriousanswer:"That's a great ring. I like that. Going from shark-diving to that ring, that's impre sive right there."
