Last night in Quebec , Steven Harper announced that Quebec named a arena, "Pat Burns arena" which was named after Pat Burns. After everything Pat has went through with cancer in all, this is a good thing for Pat. He deserves it."Excuse my voice -- I don't have the thundering voice I used to have to get players going on the ice anymore. Well anyway, maybe there's a Wayne Gretzky or a Mario Lemieux or a Sidney Crosby sitting here," Pat Burns said. "A young player could come from Stanstead who plays in an arena named after me.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." Pat Burns has been to cup finals 2 times in his career once with Montreal (lost) and once with Jersey(won). He won with Jersey and lost with Montreal.
He also came close with Toronto in 1993. But they lost to Gretzky's kings in 7 games." You saw how close Pat came with Toronto in the semi-finals of 1993. But they lost in 7 games. Which goes to show you only God can make Miracles," Harper said.
