RIP PAT

 

[Maurice Boscorelli]

A tough as nails player who became a great coach and GM. He made his mark on the sport he loved. I trust Leaf Nation will give him the send off he deserves.

He was one hold no prisoners type of guy.

Respect comes my way.

I hate to admit this but Tikhonov changed the game drastically with his systems approach. A real genius with unlimited resources at the time.

Tough to answer these threads after a few have mention RIP. Whatever happened to the all RIP thread where you can view and send your sentiments privately?.

Is it being kept a secret what he died of? I know he had tacker problems awhile back.
