Brain Burke was born in Rhode Island and raised in Minnesota. He's not from Boston. Go ahead and make up some more facts, the sky is purple, oranges eat cars, Brain Burke is secretly trying to sabotage teams he's employed by and running a secret U.S. development program.

Then he made his feelings known when the Canucks also fired his pal Nonis. Add to that getting his knuckles rapped about tampering when his coach at the time Ron Wilson blurted out on air that the Canucks were shopping Burrows and Bieksa. Then there's his hatred for Vancouver Sports media coughprattcough Why would Burke blame Boston for the Kessel trade? He signed it. 2. http://www.nhl.com/ice/m_news.htm?id=565132 Q. The suspension was for the lateness of the hit.MIKE MURPHY: Yes. The lateness combined with the injury. Q. Without speculating too much, had that hit occurred quicker, a split second after he released it, would that hit have been deemed legal under Rule 48?MIKE MURPHY: This has nothing to do with Rule 48. This is just an interference penalty, an interference hit. If it was immediate after he released the puck, it would be a legal hit. We have them all the time. 3. And Duncan Keith was suspended 5 games, at the end of the season. He was all rested up and available for the whole playoffs. How would this apply to any SCF??? And I'm not suggesting any conspiracy, your the one that brought that up. Funny though, that Keith would get 5 games in the regular season for a deliberate vicious elbow to the head, that also resulted in concussion injury and Rome would get the longest in SCF history, 4 games for a legal slightly late hit. Some say in the playoffs that would be the equivalent to 8 and in the SCF equivalent to 16 regular season games. Next? I didn't say the suspension was because of Rule 48, just that rule 48 existed...something you claimed was untrue. You were wrong. Mike Milbury states the reason for the suspension is because of lateness and injury...thus a tit for tat suspension. No injury, no suspension. Watch replays, there wasn't even a penalty called until it was obvious Horton was hurt, no whistle or arm up on the play, and even when they call the penalty they sent Rome to the box...not until it was clear Horton wouldn't return did Rome get the game. Tit for tat. Burke has been fired by multiple teams, is he upset at everybody? They lost in '04, Burke has been around long enough to know that losing gets you fired. He's a big boy. You don't say the word conspiracy, but you hint about at secret agendas between Burke and Milbury, toss in some coughcough comment about Burke's hatred of Van media maybe influencing his decision, Burke holding a grudge against the Canucks etc. etc. No you don't say conspiracy, but that's what you're alluding to when you make those comments. Keith delivers that hit in a SCF that takes out a star player and he's done. Heck, Keith got a 1 game suspension in the playoffs when he slashed Carter in '13 & Carter returned to that game and the rest of the playoffs. So yes, again facts. They help, instead of just making assumptions and accusations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They help, instead of just making assumptions and accusations. Yes you're right, it existed, what I had meant was not in its present form. They took out "where the head is targeted" and added "where the head was the main point of contact and such contact to the head was avoidable." in 2013. I'm sure that was put in in part because of how they ruled on Rome.( ie. retroactively covered their butts. ) But further to the point, Murphy admitted the suspension had nothing to do with that rule anyways. So even if Horton was taken off in a stretcher, IF Rome had hit him a half second sooner, it would all just be an unfortunate event with no penalty. So because of .5 seconds, the NHL jumped from nothing to the longest suspension in SCF history. And you don't see this as unfair in any way? I still do not know what you are going on about Keith for. You throw out a hypothetical about Keith behaving badly in some SCF. Just who is "making assumptions and accusations" again? IMO if you add up the suspensions for and against the Canucks over the last decade it looks mighty unfair. But I'll leave others to call it a conspiracy.

alt kilgore Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/dennis-wideman-suspension-nhl-linesman-don-henderson-calgary-flames-miikka-salomaki-hearing-brian-burke/ The message has sounded loud and clear: Do not hit an official. Calgary Flames defenceman Dennis Wideman was suspended 20 games by the National Hockey League Wednesday for colliding with Don Henderson and cross-checking the linesman to the ice in last week’s game against the Nashville Predators. I still can't believe these commentators in the video. "..there's the collision..he doesn't even see the linesman" "Wideman was clearly woozy" "Absolutely yes he was" EDIT: Didn't see the other thread.

Jaimito Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 too short. Should be rest of the season. You cannot deliberately cross check a ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think Gary does the appeal. That should be fun. "Between Two Unions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Bettman handling the appeal is a mickey mouse joke. They should be seeking an independent, third party, not someone whose interests are highly tied in. It is what it is though - the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
