Emelin should just give him a Kieth , you know the Chicago way

Which Kieth method are you referring to?? A slash to the face, or a superman flying elbow?

Det sure move that puck nicely. Bang bang goal

reminds me of these two guys that - correct me if I'm wrong - play on a team that's not Detroit? I can't recall the names but I do remember it's something that rhymes with machine

Not even close . There was no cycle on that PP goal it was movement all 5 guys and in.

Sedins are playing good so far but 10 games is not a year. Let's hope they keep improving. It is early but all lines seem to be building chemistry . The D is a big question mark.

Damn those NHL Disciplinary officials know god damn nothing about a hopckey check.

2 points.
How many did Montreal get in their last three games against bottom feeding western teams?

OMG, these Habs fans here are stupid.

If Burrows intended a direct hit to the head, he would have had to come from a different angle. Instead we have the wussy turn his body up and towards Burrows at the last second,,, first contact is not the head either.... but final contact.

Its just a Cliche that Habs fans know their hockey. These bunch keeps proving it.

Well said. PPC was shoulder to shoulder and then partial contact with the head after. Nothing mentioned of the embellishment from Emelin from the League. Like Vantel said it's nice to know that we have been solidified with two sets of rules. If anything a fine or one game would have sufficed.

The ref didn't blow it down because all it really looked like at first was a dive which most of it was. It must have looked like there was barely any contact to the ref at first then the big splash page from Emelin.

That being said MTL does have a pretty good club but the past three MTL games vs EDM/CAL/VAN show the Habs fans how tough it can be to win out here in the west. Sure the Habs are a good team right now but they are spoon fed ALOT of their wins in the east cause it is so massively wide open. Sorry Eastern guys but Tampa/Boston/Pittsburgh and MTL does not a conference make...

Try your hand at LA/ANA/SJ/STL/CHI/MIN/DAL/NASH/COL for a full season out here in the west...would love to see how big the mouths are on Habs fans then. They were damn lucky to escape with three pts vs EDM/CAL/VAN.

Damn lucky.

Corrado with a goal, the AHL boys working on a comeback after being down 3-0.

Edit. Tommeres ties it up! Wicked game

I have no problem with Burr getting suspended but three games is absolute bullpoop. The NHL's punitive system is (frank)ing bush league

There will be a lot of marginal type hits like that in the coming weeks. Let's see how The Philadelphia NHL Discipline Office handles those.

I have no problem with Burrows getting suspended either but one game would have been fine considering the inconclusive nature of the hit. Yes Burrows did get a bit of the head but it was partial and after shoulder contact had been made. Add to that Emelin was already falling sideways/backwards which to me looked like quite the dive. I say inconclusive because there was absolutely no way the league could have said Burrows had the head as the PPC or in mind when he made the check considering Emelin's balance. Emelin's balance and the fact that he was already sprawling backwards I guess had nothing to do with it. I just watched the NHL explanation on the hit...the NHL said that not only was the hit interference and way too late they said said Burrows lunged (upwards) right at his head? Wow they must have some pretty great footage and angles for that. Like I said the refs made no call as it it was too inconclusive to make one. Because from both sides of the ice one looked like it was a dive and the other looked like accidental contact from the shoulder because of Emelin's balance. Yes the hit was a tad late I will give them that...but that's it.

Burrows has been fined four times so I did expect one game just because...but three is a joke.

Inconclusive? What? How can it be more clear it was directly to the head ?



Also, count how much time it was after Emelin passed the puck. It's sure as hell Interference.

It's in slow motion of course it's going to be more seconds then real time.

Huge canucks fan but I think it's light. Get this crapola out of hockey. Next time give him 40 games next time 1 year. It will make it all stop.

Tell that to burrows and he'll make you bald, the burrows way.

The NHL showed the top vid too. I'm not buying what you're selling. Sorry.

Bottom video clearly shows the shoulder was contacted first then Emelin's head 'snapping' back when it was brushed by Burrows off the shoulder. Again Emelin's balance was an issue here which the league didn't discuss. I acknowledged it was a bit late so it was probably worth a game or a hefty fine...but that's it.

You're a (frank)ing tool. He was head hunting and that was a clear head-hit. Get a god damned clue.
- CreepyPasta

Burrows is a dirty (frank), he's got a rap sheet as long as... as long as the Canucks Stanley Cup drought.

These are the kind of posts we will receive from people who know absolutely nothing about the game and what is going on.

For the last time...watch Emelin's right shoulder in the replay. Clearly shows first contact (compressing) then brushing with the head and when Emelin saw it coming he made sure the stick was in the air Kesler style and was staring towards the sky. Embellishment. And the league said they were gonna crack down on that. Plus the league didn't factor in Emelin's balance or motion in the results. Very one sided.

Read a book dude or would you like the Hockey for Dummies Oilers version again? Didn't you guys get one for free at the LA game when you were blown out?

Illegal checks to the head, defined as "a lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principle point of contact is not permitted," will now be subject to a five-minute major penalty and automatic game misconduct, as well as possible supplemental discipline if deemed appropriate by the League.

So why didn't the refs call it then? There were two of them on the ice looking right at it from both angles? I explained before why it wasn't called on the ice.

Thanks tho tips.

He was suspended in the ECHL and he has been fined on 3 separate occasions, I may have exaggerated but he is still a douche canoe.

Yet the NHL still felt the need to suspend him. Maybe refs make mistakes?

Of course they make mistakes...I get it.

But from my previous post:

'Like I said the refs made no call as it it was too inconclusive to make one. Because from both sides of the ice one looked like it was a dive and the other looked like accidental contact (to the thead) from the shoulder because of Emelin's balance. Yes the hit was a tad late I will give them that...but that's it.'

Be a god damned tool, like the rest of your (frank)ing posse hear. Mock someone who's opinion is different than yours. For the last time, Emelin is NOT brushed in the head, the shoulder may have been the principle point of contact, but his head was fully hit. Yes, the kid embellished, but his head was targeted. Burrows is a bit of dumbass with the game, always has been. See what you want through your Canucks glasses, it was an intentional head hit. (frank)ing sick of god damn idiots like you posting thinking you know poop.
"read a book dude" God damn moron.

Derp. Act like I'm the only one between the two of us making a for sure statement. You clearly stated it was an non-intentional hit. Yeah, I'M the official. Don't act like a saint when you're reacting like a dippoop just like me. Hypocrite.
