TORONTO - A few months ago, Line Burns was driving to see a friend and just happened to stop in Gilmanton, N.H., where she used to live with her husband Pat. She was gassing up her car and getting something to eat when her phone rang. On the other end were Pat Quinn and John Davidson from the Hockey Hall of Fame telling her that Pat Burns would finally be enshrined four years after his death. It was meant to be, Line Burns said. He was probably laughing up there. With her husbands Hall of Fame ring in her grasp, Line talked Friday about how they used to laugh so much at home. She couldnt help but laugh that night when a video montage of Burnss best and angriest coaching moments were shown on the video screens at Air Canada Centre. Those included him winning the Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils, yelling at referees and going after Barry Melrose. Im sure it wasnt fun at that time, Line said, but it was hilarious. The emotional range of the Burns family and hockey community is vast as Burns posthumously went into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday along with Dominik Hasek, Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano, Rob Blake and referee Bill McCreary. Burns son, Jason, had specific instructions from his father on how to deliver the speech. Pat Burns told his son to thank Charlie Henry, Wayne Gretzky and the organizations he coached for and their fans. Pat Burns didnt dwell on not making it even as he was dying of cancer. I remember him saying, Cheer Up Jason, Ill get in there someday probably. You better have a good speech ready because youre the one going up there for me, Jason Burns said Monday night. Here I am with big shoes to fill. Theres some quiet anger that the selection committee didnt get it done before Burns lost his battle with cancer on Nov. 19, 2010. Line Burns in honouring her husband on stage Monday night said that, at his first Hall of Fame induction opportunity, a lot of people were outraged he didnt make it in. A lot of people but him. At this point, amid some frustration that it took so long — Mats Sundin saying this didnt come a day too late — theres relief and joy that the three-time Jack Adams Award-winning coach is getting his due reward. In addition to being a great coach, he was widely respected throughout the hockey world for being a terrific person, commissioner Gary Bettman said earlier Monday. Its nice to see somebody like Pat recognized and having his legacy preserved. Davidson has been on the committee for many years but was serving as chairman for the first time. He said the process is different every year. You have different people that vote for different reasons, Davidson said. I dont want to go and think about the past and what happened or didnt happen. Hes in, he deserves to be in and his wife and his family are ecstatic and thats just the way it should be. Cliff Fletcher, a former member of that committee, told ESPN.com that he was sickened by the travesty of Burns not getting in while he was alive. Fletcher said people held grudges that kept Burns out. Perhaps what makes it so difficult to comprehend is that Burns has a resume that was going to earn him induction at some point. After 17 years as a police officer in Gatineau, Que., he led the Hull Olympiques to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League title and coached in the American Hockey League before making his way to the NHL. There, in 14 seasons he won the Jack Adams as coach of the year three times with three different teams: the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. Pat Burns was the best coach I had during my career in the National Hockey League, said Sundin, a Hall of Fame centre. He meant everything for me as I came to the Maple Leafs and also became the captain, too. He really taught me everything. Burns made the Cup final with the Canadiens and got the Leafs to Game 7 of the Campbell Conference final in 1993, where they lost to the Los Angeles Kings. He had a career winning percentage of .573, but finally reached the pinnacle of the sport with New Jersey in 2003. Line Burns believed her husband was proudest of winning the Cup because it was a big dream of his. It meant so much to win it that they slept with the trophy that June 9 night. The whole night, she said. How many times are you going to have the Stanley Cup in the house? Having a trophy in the house was a rarity, Line said. Her husband liked to keep them in a barn behind the house and preferred to fill their home with pictures of hockey — Bobby Orr leaping through the air — family, and players, such as Ray Bourque and Martin Brodeur. When she brought a trophy into the house once, Pat told her not to bring it inside. I said, Well its kind of nice. Its a nice piece, Line recalled. The next day it was back in the barn. Burns treated his Stanley Cup ring with care. Its now in the possession of his son Jason. He was alive when he gave it to him, Line said, so he was happy to give it to him. With the box holding his Hall of Fame ring in her hands, Line smiled and said, This ones mine. This was a weekend for her to soak up the admiration many in the hockey community have for Pat. I was just really glad I was part of his coaching career, goaltender Martin Brodeur said. Line got a hearty ovation from the crowd at Friday nights Hall of Fame game between the Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins and responded with a smile and a thumbs up. With Hasek, Forsberg, Blake and McCreary flanking her, she dropped the puck for the ceremonial faceoff between captains Dion Phaneuf and Sidney Crosby. Asked how her husband would have felt if he were alive for this, Line said: He wouldve been so honoured. He wouldve been very humbled — probably speechless for the first time in his life. Burns was never considered the silent type. Blake got a kick out of seeing highlights of him hollering at officials, and Hasek described the emotional coach as having the kind of emotion you like. Pat was very emotional, but he always made his players accountable, McCreary said. He never passed that on to the officials. He made them accountable for their actions. Pat and I had some go-rounds, but he was very professional. He never held a grudge. Modano almost played for Burns in Hull, but the Olympiques chose to take another player instead. Over his NHL career, the longtime Minnesota and Dallas centre said he talked to plenty of teammates who enjoyed playing for Burns. Pat was phenomenally respected around the league, one of those coaches that players I heard loved playing for, Modano said. Mutually respected between coaches and teammates and thats all you could always ask for. Hes up-front, honest, told you where you stood, what was your role. Those are usually the best guys. Burns was respected by those outside the game, too. During Saturdays question-and-answer session, a Bruins fan told Line that he had a jersey with 182 signatures of players past and present — Burns is the only coach whose autograph is on it. Line Burns described her husband as unpredictable and noticed just how different he was at work and at home. She called him her little teddy bear. I knew the two different Pats, she said. One was at work, so focused, so disciplined, he was so focused. I never saw a guy focused like that. At home, my God, he was a pure joy. He was so funny. Pat had an extraordinary sense of humour, and I miss that. I miss that because when he was home he was so much there, so intense, but intense in a good way because he could be intense in a bad way, especially on the hockey side. Line said Pat never brought hockey home. But it wasnt the separation of work and life that made her happy but how her husband didnt let engrossing himself in hockey affect his personality. I think what Im the most proud of him, I think its the fact that he never changed, Line said. The guy never changed, he stayed himself. Im proud of that because he came from nothing and he appreciated everything. In the video montage celebrating his legacy, Pat Burns was shown late in his life: You dont cry because its over, youre happy because it happened. In her Hall of Fame speech, Line Burns paid tribute to her husbands career and his life away from hockey. Pat had two goals: winning and making a difference, she said. This honour tonight is our way to show him how much he meant to us. Healthy Pat, he taught (players) how to win. ... Unhealthy Pat taught me, our family, our friends, how to live and how to survive. Whitey Herzog Jersey . The rest of the team was already on the field stretching before batting practice while Puig was getting dressed in the clubhouse.

ATLANTA -- Billy Horschel showed why he might be the hottest player in golf at the moment with another 4-under 66 on Friday in the Tour Championship. It was his 10th straight round in the 60s. He already has a victory and a runner-up finish in the FedEx Cup playoffs. And now he gets to take on the best player in golf. Rory McIlroy rode three big putts and one bizarre break -- a tee shot landed in a spectators pocket -- on his way to a 65 that left him two shots behind and put him in the final group at East Lake going into the homestretch of the FedEx Cup. At stake for both of them -- along with Chris Kirk -- is a shot at the $10 million bonus. "Im a guy that when I feel good about my game, Ive got some confidence that Im going to figure out some way to play well and post a number," Horschel said. That he has done. Horschel is 35 under par in his last 10 rounds. He was runner-up at the Deutsche Bank Championship two weeks ago, when he squandered a shot to at least get into a playoff by chunking a 6-iron into a hazard. And he followed that with a victory in the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills. And now he has a pair of 66s, putting him at 8-under 132 at East Lake. McIlroy made his only bogey with a buried lie at the face of a bunker on No. 4, causing him to blast out sideways. He bounced back with birdies, and poured it on at the end of his round with a 12-foot par save, a 20-foot birdie and a 25-foot birdie. And then there was his par on the 14th, which looked ordinary only on paper. His tee shot drifted right into the pine trees, clattered around and dropped straight down. No one knew where it went until a fan realized it had fallen into the front pocket of his shorts. PGA Tour rules official Robby Ware made sure the fan had not moved, and McIlroy was given a free drop under Rule 19-1-a. Retrieving the ball? McIlroy wasnt going there. "I know how sweaty my pockets are. Im not going into anyone elses," McIlroy said. "I need to stop hitting it off line. Things happen there." McIlroy was joined by Jason Day, who made bogey on his last hole for a 67; and Kirk, who made two bogeys on the back nine that offset a run of four straight birdies around the turn for a 68. Kirk, Horschel and McIlroy are among the top five seedss in the FedEx Cup, meaning a victory would guarantee the $10 million bonus.dddddddddddd McIlroy seized the No. 1 ranking by winning the British Open, a World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship in successive starts. He was the top seed going into the FedEx Cup, though because the points are reset for East Lake, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland always knew it would come down to the Tour Championship. As much as he wants to end a great year on a high note, McIlroy appears to be playing with no concerns. "Before coming into these FedEx Cup playoffs ... it was going to be a great season, anyway," he said. "I wanted to cap it off in style, and Ive given myself a chance to do that over the next two days. Im going into this week with nothing to lose. Im the one thats got the two majors this year. Im the one thats had the great season. Those are the guys that are trying to cap off a great season for themselves. "No matter what happens over the weekend, its going to be OK," he said. "But I still want to win this thing." McIlroy and Horschel first mixed it up seven years ago when they were amateurs at the Walker Cup. Horschel beat him in singles on the 18th hole, and the next morning teamed with Rickie Fowler in a foursomes win over McIlroy and Jonny Caldwell. Horschel was shouting and pumping fists, as he always does, and it rubbed McIlroy the wrong way. In the final singles session, McIlroy beat him 4 and 2. That was a long time ago. Neither harbours a grudge. McIlroy has gone on to win four majors at age 25 -- only Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones have done that -- while Horschel picked up his second career win last week. They last played together as pros at the Honda Classic this year, where McIlroy had rounds of 66-63 and Horschel missed the cut. "Hes a good buddy," Horschel said. "If I happen to come out on top and were battling out these next two rounds, that means a lot. The guy won three straight events in a row, and two of them happened to be majors. I think thats pretty impressive. Hes at that stage where when youre able to go toe to toe with one of the best players and the No. 1 ranked player in the world and youre able to come out on top, that gives me a lot of confidence."
