Biography of Pat Burns
As for my career, I always said to my kids, 'you don't cry because it's over, you're happy because it happened.'
Tags: Career, Happy, SaidExcuse my voice - I don't have the thundering voice I used to have to get players going on the ice anymore.
Tags: Players, Used, VoiceI'm not an overly happy person. There are times when I'm happy, and that's usually in my private life.
Tags: Happy, Life, TimesThe kids get cheated out of a lot of times with their dad. They were good about it.
Tags: Dad, Good, KidsThey're trying to kill me before I'm dead. I come to Quebec to spend some time with my family and they say I'm dead.
Tags: Family, Time, TryingComing to another hockey Mecca like Toronto makes you a better coach. I want to have fun again. I want to make it fun for everybody, and it's fun when you win.
Tags: Another, Fun, WinI got hit with an octopus in Detroit one time. It was the most gross thing I've ever had happen. I got it right in the back of the neck; all the juice was coming down. It was awful.
Tags: Coming, Happen, TimeIf one of my players ever wants to hit me, he better do it really hard because otherwise, I'll find a rock, a stick, or a piece of wood - and believe me, it's gonna be a brawl.
Tags: Hard, Rock, WantsToronto was a great place to work, a fun place to work. People were so hockey-oriented, hockey-minded, without being too critical. In Montreal, they got downright nasty sometimes.
