- Brent Burns' cardio levels are not human
The San Jose Sharks have gone the distance this postseason, reaching Game 7 in both playoff rounds, and adding four additional overtime periods.
Leading all playoff skaters by almost an hour of ice time is Sharks defenceman Brent Burns . He's played nearly the equivalent of skating every regulation minute for an entire seven-game series.
The 34-year-old veteran hasn't slowed down his point production with all the additional ice time he's seen this postseason. The Norris Trophy nominee has tallied a point per game through two rounds heading into the Western Conference final.
