Pat Burns is an ex-policeman and former head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils, where he won his only Stanley Cup. Due to the fact that he coached the Toronto Maple Leafs during their early 90s glory days he is a well known figure to many Poliners and Poliner Associates. If Burns had been a personal friend of the Poliners he would undoubtely have been considered a God Among Men.His famous quote"All I know is if Ken Baumgartner would have done that to Wayne Gretzky, we'd have been hung... on Parliament Hill... across Canada!" , uttered during the 1992-93 Western Conference finals, still gives Poliner associate, John Hillier the chills. Unfortunately, Burns' life was cut short by cancer in 2010 at the age of 57.
