Twitter reaction: Hockey pays respects to Quinn

We pay tribute and honour the passing of NHL legend Pat Quinn, who will be remembered for his years in Vancouver and Toronto, for his great success with Hockey Canada, and of course for his huge hit on Bobby Orr.

The hockey world was in a state of mourning Monday after it was announced Pat Quinn died Sunday night at Vancouver General Hospital.

Once the news broke, the Twitterverse paid their respects to one of the most prominent coaches in NHL history:
