Alex Burrows has kicked off 2010's first lame attempt at playoff gamesmanship.

Wow. Good to see him go out with a bang in what could be his last home game. I have to admit that I teared up a bit watching this as well, as I would think most people will. Great player, and a heck of an ambassador for the game.

Phoenix owns Calgary's pick.

Aha. That was the missing piece. Thanks.

I thought only non-playoff teams were entered into the lottery.

It's not like the NBA lottery where you can win it and automatically get #1 pick. There's some protection so that a team that just barely missed the playoffs can't get #1.

Essentially, it's goofy.

"The Phoenix Coyotes have won the lottery and will draft eleventh overall."

Boston fans, if you want to have actual fun, that meaning you don't have to watch your frustrating, boring-as-***** team - try out the NHL Draft Lottery Simulator to see how many times you get to chuckle at the Leafs.

The latest on Pat Burns:

Former NHL coach Pat Burns has been released from a Florida hospital, his family confirmed Thursday.

Burns, who has terminal lung cancer, was hospitalized outside Tampa, Fla., on Sunday — his 58th birthday — suffering from pneumonia.

His cousin Robin Burns confirmed Thursday afternoon that the former Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs coach is doing better.

"He had a little set-back — not like the stories that had his demise that I've been hearing today," said Burns, a former NHL player.

"He was in the hospital for some treatments, and he had a touch of pneumonia. He's on antibiotics, and then [they] sent him home today. He's recovering at home."

Burns said his cousin is in good spirits.

"He's great — a good Irishman. You're always in great spirits."
