D95E00V03ILS Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I read a post regarding Pat Burns on this site. The Devils need to go 1 step further and give Pat the tribute he deserves by placing a salute to him in the rafters of the building along side Danyko and Stevens. This should be done ASAP.

aylbert Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Walking on eggshells, I disagree. I won't really defend that much, cause I don't want to sound offensive. I do feel awful about Pat Burns though, and this was a good article I googled up when thinking about it: http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/575227 edit: Disagree of a tribute in the rafters next to Stevens and Dano... I of course have no issues with a plaque or a statue, etc. Edited February 24, 2009 by aylbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Devs Fan Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Again, being politically incorrect I disagree. He coached here for 2 years, one year we won it. I respect him tremendously for his fight against cancer but I'd rather be a banner hung to support the fight against cancer then to honor Burns.

Bingo... cancer or NOT... you can't "Ray Bourque" Burnsie.... he was an awesome coach... if you want to do a Hockey Fights Cancer night and honor him... that's different Jacques Lemaire is the ONLY coach so far who deserves any kind of banner... he's the #1 reason this franchise got righted!

mrthemike Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just out of curiosity. Did he smoke or drink excessively? I hate cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just out of curiosity. Did he smoke or drink excessively? I hate cancer. Burns was a smoker as he smoked cigarettes and cigars. Not sure if he was a drinker, so maybe an occasional drinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeesjetsfan Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would definately agree with a night for Burns and a plaque dedication to him somewhere in the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 No banner needs to be raised for Burnsie, but I would love to see a Pat Burns Night. Nothing too crazy. Something along the lines of what they did for Doc this season. It would be a great gesture to extend toward someone who squeezed a Stanley Cup out of a roster that had little-to-no business winning one. Hell of a coach.
