Sean Burke, Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup Champ

While awaiting his day with the Stanley Cup in Scottsdale, Vegas Golden Knights Director of Goaltending Sean Burke talks about his 18 year NHL career, lugging his goaltending equipment on the TTC from his Bloor/Dufferin home [before buying a Chevy Cavalier hatchback!], the misfortune of facing Wayne Gretzky on his return to Edmonton in the 1989 All Star game, representing Canada at TWO Olympic games, why he wasn’t shy to chuck the knuckles, why it’s great to play in warm weather markets and go straight from the arena to the sunshine in flip-flops, what we in Toronto can expect from new GM Brad Treliving, the confusion that would ensue when leaving tickets for Brian Burke, why an NHL goalie even needs a goalie coach, why goaltenders the size of Mike Palmateer/Allan Bester would be hard pressed to even get a chance to play in the current day NHL, and his plans for an adaptation of Ballad of the Whiskey Robber [with or without Johnny Depp]!
