You know those West Coast games you've been missing because you've been in bed? You've also been missing out on Brent Burns' magic like the kind he displayed Saturday.

He took a pass at center ice, deked through a Leafs player's legs and drove straight to the net to roof a shot past goalie Jonathan Bernier.

Yeesh. That was Burns’ 17th goal of the season, by far the most among all defensemen in the NHL.
