That would be great if that was the quote you put up when trying to correct someone with your response, but...it wasnt. It was this

Commentors, not commentators.

Annnnnd....they are still called...sports "commentators", not commenters

That was the mistake that BUREV was making. The post I quoted was not referring to sports commentators. Rather he was referring to the regular folks who type in "comments" at the bottom of the article itself.

There were no sports commentators saying, or writing boorish things about Burrows after the injury.

Saw the replay on TSN, I just hope Alex is ok, and hope he's back playing soon. "Go Canada Go". Still I wonder how Alex feels sitting in the team Canada's dressing room with Duncan Keith, after all it was his hit that put a much quicker ending to the 1st round.

This is the only thing I could see on Hockey Canada's website; nothing about him coming back later in the tourney. :(

Forward Alex Burrows suffered an apparent concussion just before the midway point of Friday's game, leaving his availability for the rest of the tournament up in the air. He was expected to be re-evaluated by team doctors on Saturday and was listed as questionable for a game later that night against the U.S.

Otherwise, head coach Sutter liked most of what he saw from a Canadian team that will need to find itself during the round robin after having little time to prepare as a group.

“For our first game of the tournament, it was certainly a really strong effort,” he said.

Canada controlled much of the play against Slovakia and sustained a balanced offensive attack. The goals came from Jamie Benn, Jordan Eberle and Andrew Ladd _ players that were slotted on different forward lines.

Sutter was forced to do some juggling after losing Burrows and chose to insert Evander Kane in his place on a unit with Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

The Vancouver Canucks winger was injured during his first ever game with the national team. He accidentally collided with Marcel Hascak in the offensive zone and appeared to hit his head on the ice. General manager Kevin Lowe called the injury “real high” upper body and one teammate said privately he thought it was a concussion.

“He was doing OK,” Lowe said of Burrows. “He was doing fine in the dressing room.”
