MDPucks Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall softly on your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand...

LOTCB Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Even as a longtime Sabres fan and watching Burns go up against the Sabres for many years as the 'enemy', it is impossible not to admire and respect what Burns was as a coach and the way he handled himself after his coaching career. He was upfront, honest, and a winner. I wish his day for the HOF would have come this past season when he would have been able to be a part of it, but he will someday and deserves it. I absolutely love these comments by Burns: "I probably won't see the project to the end, but let's hope I'm looking down on it and see a young Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux" skating on the rink, he said at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "I know my life is nearing its end and I accept that. "As for my career, I always said to my kids, 'you don't cry because it's over, you're happy because it happened.' That's the main thing. I'm happy it happened." It is a lesson to us all: Live each day to the fullest. Be positive, no matter what the circumstances are. The NHL would be a much better place with more guys like Pat Burns around. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
