Best of luck to you Pat, you can pull through it.

Sucks man.. Pull threw Burnsie

From a Translation web-site

(Atlanta) More worried by the extent than would take the new one than by the disease itself, the former trainer boss of the Canadian of Montreal, Pat Burns, confirmed yesterday that it fought again a cancer.

"I know you, you other, to Montreal. You are able all to dramatize, when you want. The truth is simple: the cancer returned. But do not leave in fear. I am well living. I am not wholesale shape, but I awaken every morning, I play golf, I do the bike and I work despite the disease", related Burns, yesterday, at the time of a discussion with The Press.

This is the third time that Burns, 56 years, must fight the cancer. During the season 2003-2004, it was attained by a cancer of the côlon. In 2005, the cancer had attacked itself to his liver. Since the last spring, this are its lungs that are touched.

"I learned the new one to my return of the World Championship of hockey. All was well previously and if this was not disease, I would be return in the national League this year. I wanted to return. I had foreseen interviews and I had obtained the authorization of the Devils of student the offers that one wanted to be done me. But because of the cancer, I had to put all that aside", it indicated.

New battle, new weapon

After undergoing intensive treatments of chemotherapy at the time of its two first cancers, Burns this time decided to turn itself towards another forms fight.

"I lived two years of chimio. This is enough. The doctors care for me again very well and I uniformly am followed. But these treatments that I periodically receive are less hard", it explained, without specifying their nature.

Again there, Burns wants to assure itself that his decision to turn the back to the chimio poorly is not interpreted.

"I did not abandon. I fight, as before. But of another manner. And this is well evident that I hope that the time will allow finding a remedy", pleads the one that took the Devils of the New Jersey to the cutting Stanley in 2003.

"I do not want to irritate everyone with that. My family, the people of hockey know that the disease returned and they know that I continue to beat me."

During his career of 14 seasons in the LNH (1109 games), Pat Burns won 501 victories, undergone 350 backs and 14 others in prolongation or in shooting what's more of done game no one to 161 occasions.

It is the only trainer boss of the history to claim three titles of trainer of the year with three different teams (Canadian in 1989, Maple Leafs in 1993, Bruins in 1998).

Remain occupied

If it calls upon a different medicine to fight and live with the disease that the assailant again, Pat Burns assures itself also to count on the work.

"I must work. I must have something to do when I get up in the morning. That takes that. I have enormously to Lou Lamoriello - general director of the Devils - and to this organization, that take care of me to the point of view of health and that give me a work. I am the games to Tampa and in Florida for the Devils, to that I send reports. I do my radio transmission to every morning to CKAC and I love that. That keeps me in contact with the hockey, with the world. I must is occupied. I could not remain at the house to not anything to do."

Even if it is anxious to work and to remain close to the hockey, Pat Burns will not be at Montreal over the weekend to take part in festivities surrounding the star Game in the framework of the centennial one Three-colored one.

"I did never really like to travel and I too cannot move me not more in this moment. I went to Montreal for the collection of the sweater of Patrick Roy. One asked it for me and I was anxious to accept this invitation. But I like more better to do my small matters here. I am not cancer free, but I have things to do."

Get well soon Burnsy.

Returning cancer never ends well, I know all too well

Poor guy. Get well soon.

damnit!

I so wanted him to be able to get back into coaching and doing what he loves so much. Glad to hear Lou is keeping him occupied with work which is what he wants.

Beat this Pat!

Damn. I hope he pulls through again.

My French is somewhat rusty, and that is a long article to translate, but here's an attempt at some of the quotes (the grammar may not be right, but I think I got the gist of it):

«Je vous connais, vous autres, à Montréal. Vous êtes capables de tout dramatiser, quand vous voulez. La vérité est simple: le cancer est revenu. Mais ne partez pas en peur. Je suis bien vivant. Je ne suis pas en grosse shape, mais je me réveille tous les matins, je joue au golf, je fais de la moto et je travaille malgré la maladie»,
I know you people in Montreal. You are capable of dramatizing when you want. The truth is simple: the cancer has returned. But don't leave in fear. I am living well (in good health?). I am not in serious condition, I wake up every morning, play golf, ride my motorcyle, and work with little illness.

«J'ai appris la nouvelle à mon retour du Championnat du monde de hockey. Tout allait bien jusque-là et si ce n'était de la maladie, je serais de retour dans la Ligue nationale cette année. Je voulais revenir. J'avais des entrevues prévues et j'avais obtenu l'autorisation des Devils d'étudier les offres qu'on voulait me faire. Mais à cause du cancer, j'ai dû mettre tout ça de côté»,
This part I'm less sure about - I think he says that he learned of the cancer returning when he came back from the World Championships, and that he was thinking of returning to coaching in the NHL and the Devils had given him permission to look at offers from other teams. But because of the cancer he has had to put that to the side.

I'll attempt some more a little bit later, hopefully someone fully fluent in French can do a bit better of a job.

That's a pretty good translation, your french isn't that bad ;)

Kick its ass, Burnsie.

I'm really concerned about him - colon cancer that has metastasized to the liver and now the lung is pretty serious. If I recall correctly, lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer deaths in the US (not sure if there's a difference between primary and secondary). It's a very tough kind of cancer to treat :(

Can anyone translate French?

I could translate the whole thing no problem but I'm at work!

I'll give the translation of the quotes a shot...

«Je vous connais, vous autres, à Montréal. Vous êtes capables de tout dramatiser, quand vous voulez. La vérité est simple: le cancer est revenu. Mais ne partez pas en peur. Je suis bien vivant. Je ne suis pas en grosse shape, mais je me réveille tous les matins, je joue au golf, je fais de la moto et je travaille malgré la maladie», a raconté Burns, hier, lors d'un entretien avec La Presse.

I know you guys in Montreal. You are able to dramatize everything when you want. The truth is simple, the cancer has returned. Don't leave scared, I am living well. I am not in great shape, but I wake up every morning, play golf, drive a motorcycle and I am working even with the sickness.

«J'ai appris la nouvelle à mon retour du Championnat du monde de hockey. Tout allait bien jusque-là et si ce n'était de la maladie, je serais de retour dans la Ligue nationale cette année. Je voulais revenir. J'avais des entrevues prévues et j'avais obtenu l'autorisation des Devils d'étudier les offres qu'on voulait me faire. Mais à cause du cancer, j'ai dû mettre tout ça de côté»

I heard the news when I returned from the World Championship of Hockey. Everything was going well till then, and if it wasn't for the sickness I would have returned to the NHL this year. I wanted to come back. I had interviews scheduled and I had received authorization from the Devils to study the offers that were offered. However, because of the cancer I was forced to put these things aside.

«J'ai vécu deux années de chimio. C'est assez. Les médecins me soignent encore très bien et je suis suivi régulièrement. Mais ces traitements que je reçois périodiquement sont moins durs»

I lived through 2 years of chemo, that was enough. The doctors are still treating me well and I have regular appointments. However, these treatments I am receiving periodically are less intense.

«Je n'ai pas abandonné. Je me bats, comme avant. Mais d'une autre façon. Et c'est bien évident que j'espère que le temps permettra de trouver un remède»

I haven't given up. I will fight, like before but in another way. It's obvious I am hoping that time will allow a cure.

«Je ne veux pas énerver tout le monde avec ça. Ma famille, les gens de hockey savent que la maladie est revenue et ils savent que je continue de me battre.»

I don't want to bother everyone with this. My family and the people involved in hockey know that this sickness has returned and they know I will continue to fight.

«Il faut que je travaille. Il faut que j'aie quelque chose à faire quand je me lève le matin. Ça prend ça. Je dois énormément à Lou Lamoriello - directeur général des Devils - et à cette organisation, qui s'occupent de moi au point de vue de la santé et qui me donnent un travail. Je suis les matchs à Tampa et en Floride pour les Devils, à qui j'envoie des rapports. Je fais mon émission de radio à tous les matins à CKAC et j'adore ça. Ça me garde en contact avec le hockey, avec le monde. Il faut que je sois occupé. Je ne pourrais pas rester à la maison à ne rien faire.»

I need to keep working. I need to have something to do when I wake up in the morning. I need this. I owe a lot to Lou Lamoriello - the GM of the Devils - and to this organization, that take care of me in terms of my health and give me a job. I attend games in Tampa and Florida for the Devils, to who I send reports. I do my radio job every morning with CKAC and I love it. It keeps me in touch with hockey, and with the people. I need to be busy. I couldn't stay home and do nothing.

«Je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé voyager et je ne peux pas trop me déplacer non plus en ce moment. Je suis allé à Montréal pour le retrait du chandail de Patrick Roy. On me l'a demandé et je tenais à accepter cette invitation. Mais j'aime mieux faire mes petites affaires ici. Je ne suis pas cancer free, mais j'ai des choses à faire.»

I never really loved traveling and I can't really travel a whole lot at this point. I went to Montreal for the retirement of Patrick Roy's jersey. They asked me and I wanted to accept that invitation. However, I enjoy doing my little things here. I am not cancer free, but I have things to do.

I could translate the whole thing no problem but I'm at work!

Yeah, I'm at work too... I just spent a few minutes of work time translating the quotes though. It was more rewarding that the accounting stuff I should be doing. :)

I'm supposed to be working on a couple of reports...

I will add this - according to the article, Burns had colon cancer, then liver cancer and now has lung cancer.

The current illness forced him to pass on offers (presumably for head coaching positions) from several NHL teams, which the Devils authorized him to pursue.

He will not be in Montreal to take part in the Centennial ceremonies because of the illness.

Yeah I believe you're correct.

At least not all us Habs fans are bad, eh? :)

Poor Burns.. :( I wish him the best of luck

Good luck, Burns. One of my favorite coaches of all time. True warrior.

Godspeed.

This is very sad. I wish him the best of luck.

Here's an article in English from TSN (doesn't say anything we don't already know).

what a nightmare.

Wow that sucks again. Get well Burns.

get well get well soon

we hope you will get well

Cancer sucks. Beat it Burnsie.

Burns was a good guy too, and a very good coach for us. I wish him all the best.

my thoughts and prayers are with Pat and his family

:shakehead my mom had cancer, got through it, but it was rough. Good luck Burnsy.

:( Poor Burnsy.

This is horrible news. I just hope he can get through it

Get better Burns

FU*K!!!

If there is someone who can beat cancer, it's Pat Burns.

Good luck Burns, and kick that cancer's ass.

That's correct on both counts. The brutal truth is, if he has lung cancer, survival rates beyond diagnosis are pretty slim beyond a few years, and survival past 4 or 5 years I cant recall from memory but I think are only about 20% tops. Lung cancer is a pharmaceutical graveyard (meaning that nothing works). And not for lack of trying. Because of the fact that it's the #1 killer, it also means that it's potentially the #1 market in terms of revenue, (we're talking a successful drug could likely command >$75,000 or $100,000 per patient) which means just about EVERYONE has tried to find a successful drug. This is very sad news.

That's so depressing, BG :(

Sad for Burns. I hope he can pull through. And good on Lou for having him stay on as a special assignment coach.

godspeed:(

At least its not pancreatic cancer...

At least its not pancreatic cancer...
Yes. Or gallbladder cancer.

Get well Burnsie!!

One of my favorite coaches of all time

good luck Pat.

There are so many bad people out there who deserve to get cancer and then a good guy, as far as I know, gets cancer for the third f-ing time!!!

It sucks!!!! Life sucks!!!!!!!!!! There is no God. It is all B.S. :rant:

Doesn't sound good :cry:

"Right now, I'm just enjoying the time left. That's what I'm trying to do," Burns said. "The crying and everything, that's all finished. That's over. I told my family, that's it. We've done all that. Let's just enjoy what we have here."

that just made me very very sad. :(

Doesn't sound good :cry:

Jesus thats a terrible quote. My thoughts and prayers are for Burns.

Get well Pat!

Doesn't sound good :cry:

That is really sad. I hate the fact that there is nothing you can really do about it. That helpless feeling I think is the worst feeling to have. I hope he can pull through.

What is there to say? I hope he gets well... but from that last quote... I hope he goes out doing what he loves and makes him happy.

"I'm not going to stop," Burns said. "You've got to get up with a purpose in life."
Think of this quote when something stupid and meaningless gets you down in life.

Get well Pat. He'll beat it.

Great quote. :yo: I have faith in him to get through this.

What is there to say? I hope he gets well... but from that last quote... I hope he goes out doing what he loves and makes him happy.

I cant imagine how hard it must be to accept this, which he clearly has. As you said, hopefully he'll enjoy his family and friends and enjoy life as much as he can to the very end.

The first emotion that comes about is that how come this **** only seem to happen to the better ones among us. It makes my blood arise to think all this, when I to go to work or to the University and see all those "winners" to keep on rocking in the parks, buses and stations.

However, Pat Burns is one of those people that from whom you can learn just by watching and listening to him. Even now, when he´s going trough another battle and the odds aren´t favouring him, he is talking about how he and his family should focus on the bright side.

It is easy to agree to his quotes and say: that´s the way you should be thinking of life. But it takes a lot of character to be true to your words even when the weather isn´t fair.

You are highly respected, mr. Burns. You have already won your battle, because you haven´t stopped living.

Hats off, everyone.

If there's anybody that can do the impossible and beat it, it's Burnsie. He's my favorite Devils coach of all time. I'll never forget how happy he was after game 7 in Ottawa and pointing to our Eastern Conference Champions hat behind an interview going on for ESPN. I'll also never forget how proud he was of all of us that were there for game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals that year. I'm so happy he finally got that Stanley Cup.
