Sharks vs. Blues, Game 2: Brent Burns plays monster game

Related Topics: Brent Burns, Monster, Joe Pavelski

Count me among those who felt Brent Burns played pretty darn well in game one. Yeah, we remember the turnovers that led to scoring chances (and a goal against) but players, coaches and general managers are far too often judged on their biggest blunder rather than on their body of work.

So while it's easy to remember an ill-advised belly slide or a pinch that doesn't pay off, let's also remember that nobody had a better corsi-differential on Sunday than Burns. His +29 at all strengths is one of the best marks I've seen all season and he didn't let up much in game two.
