Brent Burns has lived a full hockey life.

He’s won international tournaments. He’s won the Norris Trophy. He’s been a guest star on one of his favorite television shows. He’s appeared on the cover of a sports magazine in his birthday suit.

He will almost certainly have a plaque in the Great Hall someday at the Hockey Hall of Fame. After nearly 1,500 regular-season games, 135 playoff contests and a half-dozen trips to the NHL All-Star Game, Burns has one more item left on his to-do list.

Get his name on the Stanley Cup.
