RIP, he was a true hero in Cote Saint Luc. Everyone looked up to him and wanted to be just like him.

He was great, I remember the Kings/Leafs playoff that sent the Kings to the Cup, what a series he coached

Very sad. The guy was a class act.

**Art Vandelay** · 11-20-10, 01:48 AM

From a huge Devils fan, RIP Pat, and thanks for the '03 Cup!

**Gonad** · 11-20-10, 02:09 AM

R.I.P., sir, and thank you for the '03 Cup... You will be missed...

**vassman86** · 11-20-10, 02:24 AM

Poor guy. Just a few months ago, reports came in that he went to the hospital, or that he was critically ill. The next day, he had a phone interview with TSN's Bob McKenzie and clarified that he was still "alive and kicking" and that he'd be around for a while.

**Deuce** · 11-20-10, 02:53 AM

Unreal

I remember as a young boy watching HNIC. I loved it. I always looked forward to it. Late at night, stole the kitchen tv and took it to my room. Rigged an antenna, watching CBC. Patty Burns I always remember. Patty was a great coach and we will miss him.

Nicky those pictures are unreal. I can't even believe it. So sad.

RIP Patty Burns.

We have made zero progress with Cancer

It is much better to have Aids if you had to pick one

**PuckOff** · 11-20-10, 08:43 AM

Pat Burns got the most out of all his players. guy was a hard ass, but he knew when to push and when to back off. This has been a very sad week in the NHL. Very sad!!!
