which means to me that if any of the 4 stripes had done his job Burrows would have got a penalty then and the goal wouldn't have counted.

Yep. It was obvious to everyone but the refs.

This.

However I did not expect a three-game suspension.

 

[Tyson]

Yet no penalty was called and a goal was scored. NHL officiating has become known as the worst of any sport.

 

[Hackett]

I don't even know what to say anymore. I don't know what equates to a suspension. I thought the fact the emelin came back would let burrows escape Scott free ( not that I agree with that philosophy).

Maybe the fact that burrows did not get any penalty at all actually hurt him from a suspension point of view.

Man oh man, the main boards

People are saying he didn't even hit him in the head, I kid you not. One guy is saying becasue he grazed his shoulder first it shouldn't be defined as head contact.

You can't make this stuff up

 

[poetryinmotion]

Can we have our extra point back too?

Not surprised, the usual haters are out in full force. A Hab could get his hand chopped off & the haters would deny it ever happened.

 

[HabsandSmokies]

A Hab can have his neck broken and fans of some teams would say it doesn't deserve a suspension....

There is a lot of woah is me going on in there but I wouldn't really say there is much of that going on. Just denial that the hit was even a head hit.

I was toying with an idea today..

What if, for every instance of suspension, a player's team lost 1 point to the general standings?

 

[S Bah]

The bigger concern here is how the public in general understand the repercussions, of a person that enjoys hero stature in Boston can be accused of wife brutality, pitchforks players on national TV, then comes on TV to apologize and has a **** eating grin on his face while doing the apology! What message does that send out to people watching this farcical show of disgraceful behavior? Is this how Canadians want to be perceived by people the world around? As a society that says one thing while they mean something completely different?(Liars comes to mind) This is disgraceful behavior that needs to have censorship or a properly educated person at the helm, not someone with no regard for what's best for everyone, but the guy that drives the ship aground and leaves the people while going to safety. Wake up the helmsman before it's too late is my advice!

Good, now if this league could find a way to employ competent referees, maybe those kind of hits would not be so frequent.

Vancouver is wayyyyyyy more hated then the habs, so any 'hate' on the main boards has nothing to do with hating the habs.

Hell, 99% of -YOU- cheered for your historic, hated rivals the bruins v. Vancouver in the finals.

Instant classic

Ok, back to your own board with "woah is me, everyone is against the Canucks."

Not only that fact, but said hero was born in Vancouver, which is distasteful in itself for this Canadian.

They'd even call it a dive.

Don't kid yourself, stranger.

I doubt that even a tenth of Habs fans on this board cheered for the Neckbreaker Chara in 2011

You're kinda in your own little world, aren't you?

 

[Price My Man Crush]

Wtf the other guy with his cheering for the Bruins back in 2011...you smoked some good **** brotha.

I'd revisit the threads from back then if I were you.

 

[HabsandSmokies]

as long as the NHL is employing the likes of Chris Lee they are not serious about quality refereeing.

 

[bentheprop]

I agree. I'm pretty sure that most in here would cheer for Hitler before the Bruins.
