*Buzzsaw* Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The Toronto Sports Network took a break from cheering the lame Maple Laffs to jump on the biased refereeing circus bandwagon and take shots at Burrows... calling him making a hit on the puck carrying McDonagh a 'late hit'. How is it a late hit when the puck is sitting at McDonagh's feet and he is attempting to play it? When Burrows is clearly attempting to take control of the puck by supporting Kassian to outman the Ranger player? I have seen a dozen more justifiable penalties than this, but of course, the Jackals which are the NHL Refereeing Corps will have their revenge... yes they will do what they can to get Burrows suspended and make him pay for the temerity to point out the facts. This league is about as one sided and rigged as any professional sports league I have seen. Just about finished putting any more money into what is clearly a fixed league. No Canadian team will win the Stanley Cup until the current Board of Governors are given the boot and the Disciplinary body is completely renovated.

riffraff Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 more charging, blindside and predatory than late. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You think that's bad? There are Rangers fans on HFBoards hoping that he dies and someone murders his family. Yeah. I thought CDC was bad. HFBoards: a place where everyone thinks they're right and nobody has the right to tell them otherwise. Death threats acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I joined early last year and was banned after 5 posts because I called someone out for saying Burrows deserves to die place was/is a total joke.

Disaronno Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ya Burrows is being ripped on twitter. There is no sense trying to talk hockey with American's, the IQ just is not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 No it wasn't late, but Burrows had no intent on going for the puck. Instead he runs straight into McDonagh with his glove. looked clean on the tsn feed, but the rangers feed showed it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments like that are totally uncalled for but fans can overreact in situations like that. Some posts on this board weren't that far off when Keith elbowed Sedin.

Or showed the angle that best emphasized the point they were trying to make? .. camera angles are like 'facts' .. easily manipulated to make a point .. what does it matter? .. give all of em the summer off ..

Brad Marchand Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Comments like that are totally uncalled for but fans can overreact in situations like that. Some posts on this board weren't that far all when Keith elbowed Sedin. It's funny isn't it? We all care about the game, but that's what it is, just a game. Not worth making death threats over. The hit wasn't that dirty, anyway. Only part of his body that contacts McDonagh's head is his hand. McDonagh's arm gets pinned against the boards, he clearly holds his arm in pain and some people are calling it a headshot. Great logic there.

LeanBeef Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not and elbow, shoulder to the head, late hit etc.... More of a cheapshot. Kass did similar to Couture during last year's playoffs and only got a two min penalty, this just resulted in an injury. His stick and arms were up looking for contact rather than going for the puck.

5Fivehole0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If Niederreiter didn't get suspended for the hit on Burrows and Burrows gets suspended for that hit I am officially going to stop watching hockey... That would all but prove the NHL's bias against the Vancouver Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/ijay Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Definitely not a late hit, but a bit dirty regardless. The hit Burrows' head in the Minnesota game was far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I could maybe see an argument for charging... But even that would be a reach. It wasn't from behind..it wasn't late.. It wasn't to the head...it wasn't interference.... I saw someone say he got his "hands up" and made head contact.. Well, on the msg feed I saw Mcdonagh put his head down to look for the puck.. So if that's "head contact", but the hit burrows took against Minny wasn't, well I don't even know what to say about that. Clearly the impact was focused on his shoulder... Hence the fact that he went down clutching his shoulder. I've always prided myself on not being bias against our players.. If any of our players make a dirty play, I'll call them out for it and have done on multiple occasions. This was not dirty, not worthy of a penalty, let alone a 5 minute major or a game misconduct... And if Burrows gets a suspension for this I will literally be at a loss for words. It would be undeniably proof that someone in the upper echelons of the nhl seriously has it out for us.

tribaljohn Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's a Canuck likely get 10 games, no where as bad as the headshot Borrows got recently - saw a hit where a player got an elbow to the chest TSN guys are saying that one well be 4 - 10 games which is pretty funny. Fans making threats to players and their families is just sickness they are the worst kind of fans possible the exact type that should go into anger management programs.

Jägermeister Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not a good hit at all. Wasn't overly malicious, but I think a game or two would be fair, or a fine at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
