DucksNPucks Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 If you haven't been watching the finals or missed game 1, then look at the video below and let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formyhunny Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 No because Bergeron did not suffer seriously injury unlike what could have happened to Kevin Bieksa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 You don't bite people..c'mon. Wisniewski gets 2 for showing Avery how to brush his teeth, Ference(?) shows he is number 1 in Montreal and receives a game, how does Burrows not get anything?

All Bergeron got was a little baby cut and the media complains all about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 So, what you're saying is that I could come and bite you on the arm but if I don't break the skin, it's no big deal? Come on now. The replays CLEARLY showed him bite down on his finger. How they can justify him NOT getting games for that is just stunning. The league has been extremely hypocritical with this crap. Avery and Wisniewski get suspended for being tools but Horton practically assualts a fan and Burrows tries to eat a guy and they get NOTHING? HA! Right.

This is the final, the most important time of the year. Biting through a glove (after Bergeron put his finger in Burrow's mouth) isn't worth any amount of games in the finals. I think there should have been a fine, but there wasn't one for Chara's incident with the stanchion either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 You're right....it's the Stanley Cup Finals. THE STANLEY CUP FINALS. Cameras everywhere. All media outlets focused on everything you do. Every little play being analyzed and over-analyzed and analyzed again. WHY WHY WHY would you put yourself in a position to be suspended and handicap your team by such a dumbass move??? Honestly, if the team itself had any balls at all, they would have suspended Burrows themselves for being a moron. Same thing with Horton. But nooooooo...gotta win that Cup at all costs, right? Regardless of integrity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formyhunny Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I wonder what's going to be in store for game 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucksNPucks Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 IMO it's all about intent, not how injured a player is. Bobby Ryan was suspended for kicking Jonathan Blum for 2 games. Blum was not injured, but the league ruled that Ryan intended to kick (stomp) on his foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if we are talking a borderline hit, then fine, let them play the game. But when you bite someone, how can you not suspend them? They are not 3 years old! Also, Chara's hit was due to the fact he is a giant...clean hit. You can't suspend a guy for being 7 feet tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseymikea Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm amazed that the league didn't try to suspend the TV announcers for making the NHL look like a joke.... On a related note, how does the league suspend players for a "blow to the head" and not eliminate fighting all together? Doesn't fighting involve trying to punch your opposition in the face and head? Kind of crazy if you really think about it. I really DO like the fist'a cuffs but not the stupid end of game brawls like the Flyers Ottawa years back. That was just dumb. I think Burrows should have been suspended. Biting? Come on...thats an elementary school thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows didn't get suspended, instead he got to play on his home ice and watch the cup slip out of his hands! Haha that's a good punishment!
