I would have been shocked if either Horton or Burrows was suspended. It would take something much more serious to be suspended from a Game 7 or the Stanley Cup Finals. Both teams should be hoping to face the best that the other has to offer and win the series on the ice. It will take a real mugging for any player to get suspended at this point.
sorry folks but Tampa fans were complaining about Horton .
Quote. "How can you take these league officials serious anymore? LOL
Horton has to be suspended or they look like complete hypocrites of their own rule and most importantly, morons."
Quote. "Yes I absolutely would. You can doubt it all you want but I have always said athletes need to be professionals. He was 3 feet from being in the tunnel and being done with it. He acted like an idiot and crossed the line. Period.
All you do is disagree with anything I say and put words in my mouth. Youre view on the situation is completely wrong. Who cares what YOU think is ok or not in this situation. Its what the league thinks. Which is what myself and some people were "whining" about. Apparently stating rules or precedents set by the league is whining now. Good to know."
Quote. "I don't know, maybe. By the past statements and suspensions the NHL has handed out you'd figure this would be a clear as day suspension here for Horton, but with these ****ing whackos in the league office, everything is just an adventure. There is no defined rule(s) anymore. Its all a matter of someone's ****ing opinion. Which is stupid."
Quote. "Not need to be embarrassed, but deserved to be. The evidence is there, it's clear as day that it's Horton but the good ole' boys at the league office will just sweep this one under the rug and hope no one noticed in time."
sorry folk. They were pissed and whining like us.
Yeah
but did boston fans think he should have been suspended?
Savard is a repeat biter. Once with Atlanta and once with the Bruins:
"The Flyers' Daniel Carcillo accused Savard of biting his finger during a scrum in the second period of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night at TD Garden. Savard denied biting Carcillo, saying the Flyers' forward stuck his fingers in his mouth. Savard had slashed at goalie Brian Boucher's glove, drawing a penalty and the ire of several Flyers who descended upon him, including Carcillo.
After Bruins practice Tuesday morning at Ristuccia Arena, Savard said he didn't think there would be any repercussions from the league or the Flyers in Game 3. "
I knew where it was going the second he said "Go Sox Go!" (that's about as Canadian as saying Chara's 1st name starts with a Zed) but it was well done and highlarious nonetheless.
There's also precedent for not suspending him, see Savard v. Carcillo which you guys still can't seem to see how hypocritical you're being about the entire situation.
Maybe you should call 911 about it?
There was no clear evidence about it, and Carcillo is well-known as a faker. That one was basically he said/she said. In the current case, the video CLEARLY showed Burrows biting Bergeron's finger, including his head moving towards Bergeron's gloved hand in order to bite it. You guys still can't seem to see how different this situation is, and how the HHL went against a precedent by not suspending him.

Why in the blue moon would somebody lie about being bitten. Carcillo got bit, just like bergeron got bit.
It's that simple.
Now lets drop the topic, who gives a **** anymore.

You do realize the NHL went against precedent in your favour by not suspending Horton, right?

Why in the blue moon would anyone grab his face when he got hit in the stomach with a stick? Because it's Carcillo man. You'll never convince me that Carcillo got bit. I truly believe he'd be untruthful about that.
But I'm fine with dropping it. There are games to be played, hopefully without all the BS.
