No suspension for Burrows

[ELYEAH82]

What a load of crap

2011 Stanley Cup playoffs: Source: Vancouver Canucks' Alex Burrows not suspended for biting Patrice Bergeron - ESPN

That is crap, give the little bitch a game. Bitting in any sport is rediculous.*



*Unless you consider competitive eating a sport.

"After reviewing the incident, including speaking with the on-ice officials, I can find no conclusive evidence that Alex Burrows intentionally bit the finger of Patrice Bergeron," Murphy said in a statement.

WOW!!! Business as usual.

 

[ELYEAH82]

If that wasnt conclusive evidence, then how in the hell can they suspend anyone. I just dont get the explaination. It seemed obvious.

they seemed to have conclusive evidence of Nathan Horton squirting water at a fan and chose not to suspend him ... when a suspension precedent existed

Not only that ELY, the player was obviously showing the ref something on his hand and I'm damn sure it wasn't his finger nail. Jarkko Ruutu was gone two games for an incident that was almost identical to this.

Peters showed the ref the bite mark to in the Ruutu case

That's why I said "Business as usual".

Squirting water is now complarable to biting? Seriously? I know you are a Nucks fan but seriously...

I guess I am unaware of the squirting precendece, but to claim it is as severe as a grown ass man biting someone seems like a stretch even for the biggest of homers.

where did i say the acts were comparable in terms of severity

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I wouldn't call jstew a "homer" but I disagree with him on this subject.

When you found it to be relevant to the topic.

Not directly calling him a homer, but this line of reasoning is making it hard not to.

i see

bergeron puts his fingers in Burrows mouth and you put words in mine

Then explain why you added it to the thread if you dont think it is relevant.

Clearly a solid reason to bite someone...

if someone puts their fingers in my mouth in hockey and doesnt move them I think I would clamp down as well. if you choose to sit there and suck on his glove sweat I guess thats your thing
