TORONTO — Brian Burke always admired the skill, competitiveness and leadership Daniel Alfredsson brought to the ice.
The most heated of all the meetings, of course, was when the Senators met Burke’s Ducks in the 2007 Stanley Cup final, when Anaheim won in five games.At that time, Burke served as general manager of the United States hockey team, while Alfredsson was an alternate captain for Sweden.Article content
“But I will tell you another little story that people don’t know about Alfie when we were at the Olympics,” Burke continued. Burke does remember, of course, when an upset Alfredsson shot the puck at Anaheim star defenceman Scott Niedermayer as the buzzer sounded to end the second period of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final.
Alfredsson, 49, is seven years older than the twins and was a role model for them on a number of fronts.
