LAS VEGAS - While everyone else was scuttling around NHL Awards media day trying to pry interesting quotes out of nominees, I had a different idea. I decided to play a game.
Without the protection of a PR person, Brent Burns, defenseman (and occasional forward) for the San Jose Sharks was open to my experiment. All Burns had to do was name six of his Sharks teammates based on their faces from NHL15. (Key is to remember it's NHL15 and not NHL16, something that will be revisited later.) Burns did not see the actual headshot of the teammate.
