Some story here - if the Devils had advanced, Burns would have had to step aside - he wouldn't have been able to continue coaching. Let's hope he didn't endanger his health too much by sticking it out as long as he did. While it sucks to get bounced from the playoffs, that's all secondary right now. I understand colon cancer is one of the more beatable cancers if promptly treated - get well soon Pat.
