Stanley Cup Finals - (1) Vancouver Canucks vs (3) Boston Bruins

no suspension for Burrows as per Pierre Lebrun

Right move. Thought he'd get a fine, tho.

same. fine was what I thought as well. I mean its not clear he bites down as it goes out of camera but you can see the movement towards it.

And in the motherland of France, it ain't a finger.

Looks like his ankle there, but who knows. According to AV it's a "mid-body" injury.

lol

speculation is its a high ankle sprain ... if so ... see you next year Hammer

I dont like this precident. Some are suspended for biting but not others and it depends on how far in to the playoffs a team is. This is a joke.

round 1 always the toughest to get through and Im glad that when we went in it was against chicago. we needed a real challenge and that proved it. a 4 game sweep might have really hurt us actually like it did against St Louis.

Yup. Sometimes when you have a strong first round showing, you get overconfident and fold in the second. Sigh.....

It is often noted that twins share a bond where they are able to feel the pain or happiness of the other. While it appeared Henrik was taking a dive, it was actually that Daniel had just overheard Dan Hamhuis would probably not play in game 2.

Agree. It either is a suspension or it is not. I don't know how Horton and Burrows have both escaped what should have been automatic 1 gamers.

like spraying water on a fan. Precedent had been set many times, but not for game 7 of the ECF.
to borrow from bertuzzi, "It is what it is."

Murphy covered himself on the decision anyways, saying there wasn't "conclusive evidence that Burrrows intentionally bit". :confused2:

 

[jstewismybastardson]

twitter rumour is Malhotra had emergency eye surgery (grain of salt: people on twitter said Mannys eye exploded the day after he took the puck in the eye)

av was asked and all he responded with was "mannys day to day"

I think the reason Murphy gave is what makes it a joke. If there was some mitigating circumstance they concluded or if they explained that these incidents are not always followed by a suspension, I'd understand.

But I don't get it. They have slo-mo HD footage from multiple angles and a hand that can/has been examined by NHL officials/refs. No conclusive evidence is an unacceptable response.

Maybe Campbell wasn't the problem.

And for the record, I'm rather neutral in the series with a slight lean for the Canucks if anything. I just want to see the NHL do the right thing in the fine/suspension department. Lack of CONSISTENCY is the problem.

i believe this will be looked at as well this summer. seemed to be the message from bettman in collie stepping down.

also can you imagine we are complaining about refs and its only 1 game

The Canucks Depth is about to be tested again. Whos next on the depth chart? I like Ballard, then Alberts... Lets see if Ballard can show he is worth the $4.2 he has collected already...

 

[mooger_35]

It'll be Ballard or Tanev
