Andre Burakovsky, who is our son, scored a big big goal in a big big game like the big big boy that he is

Colorado Avalanche golden boy Andre Burakovsky is having quite the postseason. On Friday, with the Avs facing elimination, Burakovsky just scored the go-ahead goal.

And it was all him.

Aggressive on forecheck, Burakovsky forces the turnover, then releases a perfect wristshot to beat Dallas goalie Anton Khudobin up high.

A flawless shot, just like we expect from Andre in elimination games, as I’m sure you remember.

Burakovsky, 25 years old and therefore technically a grown-up, has scored six goals in his last five elim games and four goals in his last three Games Seven.

“Clearly,” said NBC Sports analyst AJ Mleczko, “he’s a clutch player.”

And we’re all his proud parents.
