Am I blind? All I can see is one guy hitting another guy in the head with his shoulder. And the guy getting hit didn't look like he saw the other guy coming.
IMHO, trying to figure out intent is a fools game. You can't read peoples minds. If you ask them what their intent was, and they think they are guilty, they are going to lie.
Whether Burrows has a reputation or not is irrelevant. Whether Burrows is injured or not is irrelevant. Whether Nido has a reputation or not is irrelevant (except in terms of how long he should be suspended). 1st offence 3 games, 2nd offense 5 games, 3rd offense 10 games etc.
Where the league fails is trying to determine intent. Who cares what he tried to do, he nailed Burrows in the head! It's just like high sticking (guilt wise). One player might try to lift another's stick and hit him in the face. It's still high sticking even if it's an accident. Everybody accepts this. They should try to be objective, dispassionate and consistent.....this will lead to credibility.
In the mean time, the league looks like fools and the refs look like they are making up the rules.
