I just do not get the argument really. Horton squirted someone with water. Burrows bit a guys hand with enough force to draw blood.

In any case Game on.
The point is, both infractions have been set as precedent as automatic suspensions. Apparently not deep in the playoffs, however.

I guess you could but I have a hard time relating the 2 incidents in the same light.

we went through this in the Burrows thread.
the only comparable is, both actions had recently been suspendable offenses, and then were not.


Alberts was very good in that period, as was Oreskovich.
On the oter side, Recchi has show up to play

The argument is simple - BOTH situations are typically auto suspensions.

The NHL has a STRICT policy on ANY physical interaction with fans.

Teh stanchion could have touched that one to make it more obvious that it touched glass...

Not like there's any chance in hell Boston will convert on a PP but still...

It's been a long time since I've seen Boston score a goal. Do they like raise their sticks in the air when they score like most teams do?

I gotta say, Vancouver looks a little complacent right now. Kinda lacking any urgency when they have the puck. Way too early to just play defense.
