Pat Quinn On The Hour: Full Interview

[@7373rosie]

RIP Pat Quinn from all hockey fans here in Ireland. True Irish legend! "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

[@richm.3388]

Pat Quinn....Canadian Hockey God....We Love You In Vancouver Pat...RIP ❤

[@kturner87]

I was blessed to be able to meet, shake the hand of and have a conversation with Pat Quinn today. Wow what a legend. My heart fluttered.

[@vickc4422]

You're the best Pat! Thank you for the memories and being such a class act.

[@FinallyIhavecomeback]

I miss the guy already. He was a players coach and deserved a cup. R.I.p Quinn. I'll always remember you.

[@leafyutube]

Great interview! Glad George asked Pat about the hit on Bobby Orr. One thing that wasn't mentioned in this show is that Quinn's 1980 Flyers still hold the NHL record with a 35-game unbeaten streak. That record will probably never be broken.

[@MarcusCyganiak]

This interview with Pat Quinn on CBC's The Hour in 2009 really shows you his character. A real class act. He will be missed.

[@RyanLestage]

Man that was great. Seeing this, and then seeing him last March at the ring of Honour ceremony... Sure was tough seeing him ill and looking so fragile. :(

[@lostcanuck]

epic interview! quinn is such an iconic figure in canadian hockey. i always love hearing stories from these guys with so much experience and history in the game.

[@ClutchClips]

Great interview! Pat your the best, come back to Toronto. At least you kept us in the playoffs when you were around.

[@datriaxsondor590]

You don't need a cup or a ring, to be a champion. Quinn was one of the absolute greats. RIP, Mr. Quinn.

[@Ssahi80]

RIP Mr. Pat Quinn you were always my favourite head coach of the Vancouver Canucks

[@Nick-sm5nb]

Yup

[@Nick-sm5nb]

Screw Buffalo they suck. Go Toronto. And I hope Buffalo floods lol.

[@scrambie]

Nicholas King There's no need for that.

[@stephaneouellette7943]

He sure was a great coach.

[@andersvisa]

One of the all time classiest people in hockey of all time. RIP.

[@domi2197887]

R.I.P PAT QUINN THANKYOU FOR BEING THE LEAFS COACH THRU OUT MY CHILDHOOD WONT FORGET YOU

[@yeltsin6817]

I loved Pat Quinn. Leafs made a huge error letting him go. He was a mans man and was respected by all.

[@NintendoGam3r]

Greatest hockey coach of all time, I miss him in Toronto.

[@Kevin-gf6eu]

Great coach and one of the greatest of all times

[@jamesanderson849]

Great stuff

[@crushingalldeceivers]

RIP Pat, you were and still are the identity of what it is to be a Canuck.

[@ErickNation19]

AMEN TO THAT

[@vi3thunny]

One of the best faces of the Canucks organization and got us to the unforgettable '94 Stanley cup finals. I hated how after the Griffiths family gave up the ownership, the new owner had immediately fired Pat and gave away all of our players after the change. Even though he didn't get to have Lord Stanley, at least he gave us the Olympic Gold Medal in 2002.

[@kalex888]

Pat Quinn. My favourite hockey coach. #Leafs #TeamCanada

[@andrewlowe9969]

What a well spoken and amazing human being Pat Quinn was. The hockey world was surely a better place with Pat in it. You are truly missed by the fans and all the players who had you as their coach. You made the Leafs a better team winning more games in your 7 years as coach than they had won in 10 years before you came that says a lot, 2nd all time winning coach in Leafs history with only Punch Imlach ahead of you. I'll never forgive the front office of the Leafs for firing you! Rest Easy Big Irishman

[@JimB667]

PAT QUINN RUUUULLLLEESS

[@peterruss6415]

That big Irishman saved the Canucks from relocating in the 1980's, god bless him

[@SwobyJ]

I don't agree with you about the Hour and hockey related interviews, but you *do* have my sympathies, from a Canadian who dislikes hockey a LOT. Food and circus...

[@kenziemcneil7179]

Forever a leafs legend. What wisdom could be passed on to the existing leafs leadership. Rest peacefully sir.

[@ClassicRockMitch]

LOVE HIM

[@mochopz]

We need Quinn back in toronto

[@tarek3702]

only time leafs passed the 1st round and went conference finals was with pat Quinn not once but 5x

[@gvbaker55]

Watched Quinn as an Atlanta Flame. He could throw 'em.

[@Maxie1111]

Just come back and coach on any team, you're a genius anywhere!

[@comfortecono]

QUINN AND BURNS THE 2 GREATEST COACHES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewlowe9969]

I wish we could bring the two Pats back, Quinn as GM and Burns as Coach of the Leafs. A Stanley Cup would be in Toronto again guaranteed.

[@Nick-sm5nb]

RIP PAT QUINN

[@whetcollective]

Pat Quinn is my great uncle! - Pierce

[@alexschmidt4901]

He won't ask for a job that someone has. Except in 1987 when he accepted a contract from the Canucks while still with the Kings. There's a reason he was not allowed to coach the team for three years.

[@chris63798]

Big fella!!!

[@name9756]

I like Pat Quinn favorite NHL coach i like Paul Maurice to so young coach with carolina

[@tobinbryan]

Patt Quinn back To Toronto please

[@rpim291]

He looked like Kurt Russel in his early coaching years

[@rafakasb]

Pat Quinn is the new oilers coach!! oilers to win the cup in 2010

[@BloggerMusicMan]

Thank you! Or any sport for that matter. I hate how seriously the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics are taken.

[@svperstar]

see you behind the Pitts bench soon.

[@register1430]

Was there any statement released on the cause?

[@LoewenRanger]

I think you've got the wrong Pat Quinn.

[@TAG037]

no denying that

[@rafakasb]

@markisnew it was just delayed by a year :P

[@kcowneduall]

great guy, really bad toronto team killed his career.

[@xxllbb55]

All comments respected UNLESS you had to play against him as a kid. yikes..

[@vadimzdonutube]

your team is probably nor a destructive machine like the philadelphia flyers in the 1970s

[@Zxceelxuz]

A couple of hockey related interviews the past few shows and all of a sudden it's too much?

[@davefreckleton7962]

Who didnt like or respect the big irishman

[@CrackTownPooner]

Bobby Orr never kept his head up

[@markisnew9588]

@rafakasb how embarrassed are you about that prediction right now, haha

[@Sorcoral]

Coming from a country that follows College sports to the extent that America does I find your comment very laughable

[@theicnerd1]

@kturner87 i got his autograph, hes great !

[@dukenukem8692]

Pat Quin I have been trying to get your help for some time now. Can you please help the innocent people that have been waiting for justice in your Dupage Court system. Last time I checked Dupage County is in the state you are currently representing. How can you let injustice still run rampant and still seem like a bad dream for the people of Illinois ? I don't blame you for your mistakes, I just ask that you do your best to fix them. Please + Thank you :)

[@BlastinHash709]

This feller isn't a politician bud he was a great hockey coach

[@SuLLy2GoD]

uuhh no hes not.

[@crazygothvixen]

it does kinda sound like Greg...but it could just be a weird mumbled George.

[@HabsCanada1]

:)

[@BlastinHash709]

yeah really tho

[@trevorcory887]

i hate strombo glad he is not around anymore and miles away from HNIC

[@zahrauzman]

LMAO LEAFS HAVE MORE OF A CHANCE!

[@jbrown1169]

Whenever your country feels joy/depression over a junior hockey championship, unless your are a parent of a kid on the team, it means your country has failed at life.

[@tobinbryan]

not all players can be coaches gretzkey is an example sum are better coaches then players quinn

[@0000ll]

If you don't like hockey please get out of Canada k thanks.

[@Conada1002]

Imagine saying please come back as the guy is halfway through a great story. What a gay production this dhowcwas

[@gordhildreth4630]

What stupid chairs to sit on!!

[@iron60bitch62]

He is a below average NHL coach
