SAN JOSE — Brent Burns, Joe Pavelski and Sharks coach Pete DeBoer all felt fortunate to meet some of their childhood idols during the NHL’s all-star weekend in Los Angeles.
Burns said and his family got a chance to talk with Bobby Orr after Sunday’s games. Burns said Orr, widely considered the greatest defenseman of all time in the NHL, spent about a half hour talking with Burns’ family.
Orr and several of the NHL’s all-time legends were in Los Angeles as the league officially named and honored its 100 Greatest Players at a ceremony on Friday night.
