“He learned me a lot of things like eating peanut butter,” Andre Burakovsky said to me then in an interview. “I tasted cinnamon roller. It was really good too. He learned me to eat some different things over here (like macaroni and cheese). He’s a really good player, a really good friend. We have spent some good time together.”
As the interview ended, Wilson snuck over and put a skate bag over Burakovsky’s head.
