Guys on Sportsnet were saying that Burrows has never been suspended.

which they were shocked about

saying he has been on the line before

I was wondering that. It's actually true.

Good question!

It used to be that they could call major penalties, or at least inform the refs that the infraction occurred so they could call it. But that may have stopped when they added the second ref. Clearly, the linesman in this replay is looking right at the hit as it happened.

Good answer!

Honestly, it the linesmen were also making calls, there would be a PP or PK all game long for one side or the other.

Not sure I'd like that.

So he's never been suspended. No reason to suspend him then...

Worst logic ever.

Only been fined.

Even if it was a major infraction that was missed, like this one?

They should be able to call certain penalties. Those which you can't call from the other side of the rink.

High sticks comes to mind.
Also, they shouldn't call judgement calls. Just the ones they see 100%. Such as this hit to the head.

What if Emelin was tripped and the Canucks scored?

It's a penalty regardless. Not sure where or how they could draw the line.

Can't they suggest to the refs to review the play after the next whistle? During commercial break or something and reverse calls.

Like that Detroit goalie interference call

or???

Didn't see the game...and don't even have a hot clue what you are talking about.

But....this is not really a very conclusive angle. Just sayin'

Nope. They couldn't call that.

For (frank)s sakes.

FINE!!!! Adios (frank)er.

well after reading the TSN comments i've changed my mind. the hit was clearly shoulder to shoulder and not a head shot, and it was also not late, and if anything should have been called, it's Emelin for diving because his head snapped back when it wasn't touched.

This may be the most ridiculous thing you've ever posted. And I think we all know how stiff the competition for this title is.

you really can't tell that the hit is late and that he's going for the head from that angle?
