21 fights in 7 seasons is an average of 3 per year. That’s more than a lot of the ‘agitators’ out there.

You left out the part where Burrows is a member of the first line with the Sedin twins, has broken the 30 goal barrier twice, and would have done it again this year had it not been for his shoulder surgery in the off season.

And as your photo shows, with the linesman helping to pin Burrows to the glass, he really had no other way out but to do something drastic. Funny how the linesmen is helping the aggressor here…

You’re serious? Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but it seems that you’re attempting to justify a cowardly act of a punk, by saying that a) He’s a perennial 30-goal scorer, and better yet .. b) The linesman put him in a position where he had no other way out?

Where exactly does one go to purchase the medication you’re taking, because I’d love to be this delusional.

Go pick up your green lycra body suit from the cleaners, and leave the hockey comments to those who know what they’re talking about.

I am pretty sure Bergeron was not the agitator on this play. For one, Burrows had a grip of Patrice’s visor and was not letting go which lead to the extension of the tussle. Secondly, we see plays like this all the time and yet almost never does anyone bite the other guys finger. This was a punk move, done in the heat of battle, Bruins got the extra two minute penalty last night and it was deserved. As every other player who has done this in the past has been suspended, I would think it would be NHL precedent to hand out a suspension for this (only 1 game), however the NHL office is consistently inconsistent, you have to really wait and see what is going to happen. My gut feeling is the NHL lets this slide.

Free Willy, you cannot go out and say things like without the shoulder offseason surgery ex player would have done x thing. The world doesn’t work that way. Here let me try your fantasy land game, without needing major hip surgery last season Tim Thomas would be up for his third consecutive Vezina this year. If Savard was not injured the Bruins power play would have scored two goals last night and won the game. If we did not nuke Japan, they would have invaded Canada and all you Canucks would be eating city sushi and be watching the Sumo Wrestling finals. You can really go anywhere when you use what ifs and fantasy to make your argument.

They already received their penalties for their scuffle- there should be no after game suspensions- You stuck your hand in the kid’s mouth and now your mad you got bit?? Herpaderp.

I guess you missed the point.

Burrows is not the 2nd coming of Matt Cooke as the ‘unbiased’ article seems to imply. He’s not always in trouble with the league. He’s a good hockey player and has been for a while.

As for the bite – look at the picture and tell me the lineseman is not pinning his arm back and that Bergeron is not sticking his glove into Burrows mouth.

A picture says a 1000 words.

Sure thing lamie leigh…next time you’re in a fender bender and the other guy takes a hammer to your head, we’ll be sure that his punishment equals yours.
Conveniently you forget that elsewhere in your whiney-assed country, the fans actually tried to get your mounties to arrest a Bruins player for a hit they didn’t like. Guess that means we get to shoot burrows on site. Herpaderp…thanks for your brilliant contributions to the lexicon…eh, hoser? Have a fun humpin moose until next hockey season, since you can’t muster a team with any nads in the 3 real sports.

Yeah, Wee Willy; and a moving picture (latest thing down here in civilization, brain-giant) is worth a 1000 stills. Watch the clips and tell me that somehow Burrows had no choice but to bite. And I’m sure that Burrows would love to have you on his legal team with your brilliant insights, but for your sake I hope some half-wit like you isn’t on the jury when one of your family members is violated in some way because they were “asking for it”. Guess that poor guy burrows should seek medical attention for his uncontrollable spastic jaw. Although…does make a great precedent for the unfortunate guy who suffers a bout of spastic foot tremors when Burrow’s head just happens to be in the way. Or yours…come on over to the Garden and catch the game on the 6th, wearing your wee-willy shirt.

Good comparison McNab, Burrows biting a gross sweaty finger thats been jammed in his mouth is just like your family member being violated…smrt. If someone stuffed a filthy gloved finger in your mouth during a hockey scrum I’m sure you’d just suck it tough guy.

Gotcha: you’re saying that if you can’t stop some dude from putting his stinky leather gloves in your mouth that you’ll gladly take them…in your mouth…when you can’t get at him and give him a smack.

Take your in-line skating knowledge of hockey and quit chirping…hockey is an ugly game, and you can friggin bet that Bobby Clarke or Mark Messier would have chewed a finger or broken an ankle if it got between them and the cup. It’s a sport of muggers and every team has one.

Burrows is a fine player that lets his emotions get the better of him sometimes. Yes, biting is a dick move and I would not have been upset if he were suspended for the bite given the precedent set already. That said, what evidence is there that his finger was cut, and through his glove? Come on! Did you see his school nurse’s note?

The penalty was appropriate, and thankfully squandered by Boston yet again.

If Bergeron is so pissed let him challenge Burrows later in the series.

BTW, we Canucks do all eat city sushi, we have ~236 sushi restaurants in Vancouver (according to dinehere.ca). We have a diverse Asian culture in Vancouver, being on the Pacific Rim, and we treasure our diverse community.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!

What do you know about the guy that sunk the Bruins battle ship in game 1?

“When Raffi Torres signed a free agent contract with the Canucks last August, we were unsure about what the Canucks would be getting.”

that was a sissy move by a sissy player end of story. as usual the league refuses to penalize a player for a canadian team.

SoopahCanuck, clearly you have never been to Boston and have never even met anyone from Boston. Boston fans have a loyalty unlike any other. I would rather take a bullet than put on a Yankees jersey. That is the worst imitation of a Boston accent I have ever heard. Putting on a Boston jersey and saying “Go Sox go” does not make someone a Boston fan. I wouldn’t even put on a Vancouver jersey, nevermind take the time to make a pathetic video. Clearly that guy has a Canadian accent, not a Boston accent. Then again, you have the time to scout out Boston sites to try to defend your team, so it’s not just him. Find a hobby bro. Win or lose, at least we don’t play dirty and cowardly. I’d rather get swept by the nucks than stoop to their level of play.

If you pined agaisnt the boards and someone puts there glove/finger in ur mouth what are u supoes to say?… Can u please get ur glive out of my mouth?…… I don’t think soo! If some one can and shoved there finger in ur mouth on a regular day ur gunna bit them! Be realistic! Like honestley thos anoucers on this game are clearley boston fans if they think that was a suspention! Give ur heads a shake and watch it in slow motion if u need to u old fat asses!

Oh, and why would we give a rat’s ass about Raffi Torres and his history? For some reason I decided to take a look at that link. Your newspapers are world class. Did your reporters graduate from the University of Phoenix? He has his tongue out in nearly half of those photos and yet he hasn’t licked any of the Bruins yet, but in just 2 periods, Burrows manages to bite someone.

i just watched that video and i have to agree with shayna that boy is as much boston as i am canadian. because i can say take off ehh i guess i am a canadian. as for miss burrows he has as much heart as a mouse.

Be realistic! Like honestley thos anoucers on this game are clearley boston fans if they think that was a suspention! Give ur heads a shake and watch it in slow motion if u need to u old fat asses!

maybe u need to give ur fat head a shake i remember dan rutu getting a 1 game suspension for doing the same thing. like i said before the nhl refuses to penalize a canadian team. why don’t you go pour yourself 1 of those nasty skunky beers you drink and whine some more.

Vansfav, if I could understand what you were saying, I might respond. Speak English and we’ll respond.
