Pat Burns cracking jokes at a public appearance in Quebec today...

STANSTEAD, Que. -- Ex-NHL coach Pat Burns is making a dramatic public appearance today -- three weeks after his death was erroneously reported.
Burns joked about the confusion as he sat down for a news conference in Stanstead, Que.: "I'm still alive," he said.

Burns, who's been battling cancer, thought he had made his last public appearance in March when the project for a new Pat Burns Arena was announced.

But he's back today for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Numerous media outlets published erroneous reports last month about Burns' death -- and were forced to swiftly backtrack when they realized the error.

As I said approximately three weeks ago, can we get Pat Burns in the Hockey Hall of Fame immediately?!?

Oh I hear ya. I was going to go the other way with it too, but then I thought it would be in real bad taste, lol.

It makes so much sense, Bettman would explode if it happened. A win-win!
