Some great quotes by Bruke about our captain.
Quote:
“I’ve been blessed in my career — I’ve had great captains,” Burke said. “I had Mark Messier. I had Markus Naslund. I had Chris Pronger. I had Scott Niedermayer … I’ve got a Hall-of-Fame list of guys who wore the ’C’ for me, and Mark Giordano belongs right on the list in terms of his leadership skills and his play and his combativeness. It’s a joy to have him on the hockey team.
“And with this, the notion is, OK, you can be a professional athlete and you can cash that cheque every two weeks and you can do the photo-op stuff and you can lend your name to things and you can pass yourself off as a person who cares. But if you’re a person who cares, you put in the time and you write the cheques and you put in the sweat, and that’s what Gio does.
“This guy is an inspiration.”
