Mission Accomplished “toKnight” for me! I’m at the Knights vs Montréal game.
I got to finally meet one of my favourite former Canucks! Alexandre Burrows! And signed my player-issued jersey!
During pre-game warmups, for some reason Burrows came out early to watch bit of the warmup (normally coaches don’t usually show up at warmups). I was standing about 12 feets away from him. I couldn’t get close to the opponent bench for safety reasons. When I saw him, I immediately pulled out the jersey and waving it at him trying to get his attention, some of the Habs fans behind me were flagging him for me too! Burrows saw me and the jersey, since it stick out like a sore thumb and came right over with a biggest grin ever on his face!
We chatted for a bit and he was saying the Canucks are doing really well this year! I told him I missed seeing him on the ice with the Canucks and hope one day he will coach for the organisation someday. He says one day, hopefully…
After that moment, I was so over the moon and noticed the Habs fans were cheering on me after my interaction with Burrows. We all “high fives” and congratulating me both in English and French.
