Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Review: Big Win Over Habs, Burrows Faces Hearing The Vancouver Canucks stretched their home winning streak to three games when they defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in an entertaining game on Thursday at Rogers Arena.

That was fun - now crush some Oil

The videos I've seen of the hit are pretty inconclusive. High and late? Maybe. Hard to say.

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.

Used to be called finishing a check. NHL is full of a bunch of pansies now.

Yeah he barely hit him. Emelin was just being a p*ssy and trying to draw a penalty. Plus he contacted his shoulder first then it slid to his head. Montreal is overrated. Without Price their a below average team. Having said that I love Galchenyuk. What a player.

in real time it was 1- 1 half seconds. First contact was with the shoulder. Emelin was just in a really awkward position. I don't think it was dirty at all. Burrows was just finishing his check. There's a reason why he hasn't been suspended ever! the guy knows how to go up to the edge and not go over.

That's some deep-dish bulls**t there. I hope you did not take the time to create the pic to upload to prove a point. The only thing that shows is the eventual hit possibly went to the head. It does not:

Show any indication either way that the did not start on the shoulder and move upwards as a result of the inertia of the contact.

Desperate.

It was a clean hit, Emelin embellished it big time. Funny how Emelin was motionless and then miraculously he was back in the game. What a faker.

The Habs lost, suck it up.

Also a bit late. Looked innocent in real time but when you break it down it was bad. Was there intent? Only Burrows knows.

Keep your head in the sand, I'll bet he will still get suspended by the league whatever you might says, just wait.

A few years ago he wouldn't be in trouble, but i suspect he gets 2 games.

Not malicious, but any time you make contact with the melon, you get a wrist slap.

With the new class-action suit the league is facing regarding concussions, the crackdown will ramp up now.

When the owners start having to write cheques, Bettman & Co get busy.

Keep your head in the sand, I'll bet he will still get suspended by the league whatever you might says, just wait.

I doubt it.

From nhl.com :

Vancouver Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows will have a phone hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday.

Burrows checked Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin at 8:28 of the second period of a game Thursday at Rogers Arena. No penalty was called on the play. Emelin missed the remainder of the second period but returned for the third.

The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: interference and illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.

Burrows was late but I didn't find it dirty. I do think Emelin embellished.

Burrows has stopped scoring so he needs to be a Dave Bolland type instigator now. Glad to see him stirring poop.

Just no more hair pulling and biting.

I know English is not your first language, but do you know what the word "considered" means in the part you bolded? Emelin embellished the hit BIG time. He's such a faker. Acted like he was knocked out then comes back into the game.

Too early to judge however...

Kesler; 11GP, 7PTS, -3

Bonino; 10GP, 8PTS, +4

Sbisa; 10GP, 2PTS, -1

McCann; 9GP, 14PTS, +5

Watching that game live, it really surprised me how much the defence pinches from the point. If we ever get a legitimate 1/2 Dman with a scoring touch, watch out.

Keep your head in the sand, I'll bet he will still get suspended by the league whatever you might says, just wait.

Ok great, run along now, that's up to the NHL not us. It didn't look like he meant to make that sort of contact....I'm glad the other player is ok.

The right team won last night contrary to the whining your blogger did.

Too early to judge however...

Kesler; 11GP, 7PTS, -3

Bonino; 10GP, 8PTS, +4

Sbisa; 10GP, 2PTS, -1

Never a doubt that it would help losing Kesler. Look how many games we won when he was out of the lineup last year.

McCann 9GP 14pts..... in the OHL

Oh I know it's not decided yet, but like I said, just wait. It's not like other peoples are not saying it too :

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger

Will wait for the Safety Dept to rule, however, I don't see any way Alex Burrows isn't suspended for the hit on Emelin last night.

Thanks for being a condescending ***** with the language thing by the way.

I agree, 1 or 2 games max.
