Accurate. Very.
Us too Burnsey. GO ASS!! Hail SATAN.
I take this as him being the team’s JJ Frankie JJ

Same toothless grin as when he was a kid too I bet
No, no. Gabe misunderstood. He’s got the mind of a 12-year-old. That’s what’s in his backpack. Don’t ask why or how.
Hahaha, sometimes thats the kind of personality you need.
Burns has been exactly what the Avs have been missing, imo. That old man is big & strong, plays great defense, and handles the puck well in the offensive zone. He is a great supporting cast pickup. I hated him for years in San Jose. Love to have him now.
