Why is Pat Burns not in the HOF?

Why is he not in the HOF?..He won 3 Jack Adams awards as coach of the year in his first season with 3 different teams (Mon, Tor, Bos). In his first year with the Devils he won the cup. The NHL HOF has to be the most messed up HOF committee. They had a chance for a rare "Hollywood Moment" in 2010 and put Pat in when he was dying.

Im trying to find 1 significant reason he is not in..Now that he is gone (RIP Pat) the HOF committee has no real pressure to put him in.

    I have no idea why either. He definitely should have been voted in but I guess the committee thought Fred Shero deserved it more?! Also, Ed Snider has supposedly been campaigning on his behalf to get him in....he did pass away in 1990 so maybe that's why?.

    That would have been something....before he died and then getting a nomination into the HOF?

    Even Chelios and Niedermayer both agree that he should be voted in and it'll just be a matter of time before he gets in.

    A appropriate drillmaster yes - but probably not recommended a numerous one & tennis is abounding of impacted experiences, Pat's is not exclusive.
