Sharks' Polak: 'Everybody's the opposite of Brent Burns'

Roman Polak knows one of his teammates isn't quite like the others.

"Everybody is the opposite of Brent Burns," the Sharks defenseman said when asked about how his fellow blue-liner's personality compares to that of San Jose rearguard Marc-Edouard Vlasic, according to Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"He's one of a kind," Polak added. "I don't see any other guy like him. I think I'm the opposite of him. I'm crazy but in a different way though. He's just a different level. It's just too far to reach."

Between Burns' facial hair, his choice of wardrobe, and his collection of exotic pets, there's no disputing Polak's assessment.

The Pittsburgh Penguins host Burns and the Sharks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night.
