To be honest my friend, I don't care about the final score of the game. I am just happy that they had such a wonderful tribute for Pat Burns.

The Mapleleafs lost so that means the Flyers won and they did 5-4 over the Capitals, i'm starting to see a patron here

The pattern that Philly better make sure they get out of is their habit of coughing up leads. They almost gave this one away, just like they did against Tampa Bay.

Last night's game and location was the perfect place for a tribute to Pat. He had a really coaching career with both of those teams.

That is a very good point. The hockey world lost a good one. At least he isn't in pain anymore.

Very true on both points.

I liked the pictures of Pat throughout his coaching career that were shown during the tribute.

I was visiting my parents at the time and we were playing a couple of games of cards. I unfortunately had missed the tribute(and the game, but with the final score I can't say I missed it quite so much).

Isn't it a shame that he was not inducted to the HoF while he was still alive? That would have been amazing.

He should have been inducted into the HoF right after he finished in Boston. The next opportunity would have been when it was announced that his cancer had spread. The NHL tends to miss the best opportunities.

The NHL is far too political at times. The whole issue with Colin Campbell for instance. How can anyone do such a lousy job(from a fan's standpoint) yet keep their job? Easy. He is liked by those in power as he cowtows to their every whim(which is why the suspensions are a joke. The owners don't want their players gone for an overly long amount of time.).

Burns has received some very nice tributes here in Bruins country.
