A chippy opener to the Stanley Cup final turned bizarre Monday when Vancouver's Alex Burrows appeared to bite the finger of a Boston Bruins player during a scrum at the end of the first period.

    Burrows must have a Hell of a set of choppers to have been able to bite through Bergeron's glove, either that or the gloves don't have any padding whatsoever.

    Bergeron was the one trying to cram his fingers into Burrows mouth, it's not like Burrows was actively seeking a little foreplay. Not to trivialize rape, but there are likely a lot of victims of that brutal crime, who which they had teeth in the orfice(besides the mouth) that someone was trying to force their way into.

    This is the most bothersome aspect of NHL hockey for an amature referee. I just don't understand why the NHL allows scrums after the whistle. It seems to happen after EVERY whistle around the crease and half the whistles elsewhere on the ice. If the officials would enforce the Roughing After the Whistle rule or start handing out misconducts for the bullshit after the whistle, this nonesense would disappear. What's worse is that kids watch NHL hockey and carry that shit over to their minor games. Then, when I send them to the box they whine that "I was just protecting my goalie" 'cause they see that on TV. "Protecting your goalie from what?", I always ask them on the way to the penalty box.

    What did Bergeron expect? Stick you finger into someone's mouth during a facewash and you're going to get bit.

    No suspension for Canuck Alex Burrows for alleged biting incident

    VANCOUVER — The National Hockey League announced today that Vancouver Canuck forward Alex Burrows will not be suspended for allegedly biting the finger of Boston Bruin counterpart Patrice Bergeron in Wednesday night's Stanley Cup final opener.

    The incident happened at the conclusion of the first period. Burrows received a double minor for roughing while Bergeron received just two minutes, also for roughing. Bergeron displayed his finger to the officials before skating off the ice for the first-period intermission.

    Mike Murphy, the NHL senior vice-president of hockey operations, issued the following statement on the matter: "After reviewing the incident, including speaking with the on-ice officials, I can find no conclusive evidence that Alex Burrows intentionally bit the finger of Patrice Bergeron."

    Game 2 in the Stanley Cup final goes Saturday, 5 p.m. at Rogers Arena (CBC, Team 1040). The Canucks lead the series 1-0 after winning Game 1 by a 1-0 count.



    As expected. Fact is that if Bergeron didn't want his fingers chomped, he shouldn't have made them so delicious.

    This just in: Cherry was in a foul mood at the end of last night's game. Nothing like Sour Grapes. ha ha ha.
