PCK Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I thought it was acceptable considering Reilly got away with a late hit on Hansen. What I thought was unacceptable was the lack of hits on Leafs players after Hansen and Daniel got nailed. IMO, Gudbranson, Sbisa and Tryamkin were useless near the end of the game when it got rough.

Where's Wellwood Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 46 minutes ago, Mathew Barzal said: What are the rules? It looked to be about 1-2 seconds after the puck left Hansen. This is all I could find... Possession of the Puck: The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession. The amount of bias in the video title and in the vid description by Sportsnet is absolutely disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope no Canuck fans watch this video. Promoting a head shot as if it's a good thing? They keep sinking to new lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 As Grapes has said many times, the instigator rule makes plays like this more common. Take that rule out and let the players police each other with honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownky Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The right outcome is: A suspension for repeat offender Kadri for the headshot on Daniel. He's done it many times before, he's a tool. Maximum fine for Burrows for the spear and following fight instigation (circumstances, etc). Burr isn't a 'clean' player, he never has been, but I have no problem with him taking liberties on teams who have guys that take liberties on ours. Knowing that there will be retribution is 80% deterrance on 'the next time'. If teams think they can get away with crap, they will keep doing it, as we've seen. Tonight the 'Line must be drawn here, here and no further' line was crossed. Reilly got his comeuppance anyway, it was a hair late but at full speed, he didn't charge, it was 'almost' clean. I have no problem letting that hit go given the retaliation. Personally I hope we find our scoring touch and smash the leafs like 7-0 on that game with no need for shenanigans. That would make me so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Definitely not acceptable and I dislike the dive too. Not a fan of that play. I can respect that the Reilly hit on Hansen was a blindside hit and therefore should have been punished (not particularly late or dangerous otherwise though), but that still doesn't justify Burrows pulling dumb moves like that.

87Crosby Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Reilly's hit was dirty. But so was the spear. I'm not gonna bother with which ones worse, but both don't have a place in the game today. Both should be suspended, and both should face the consequences for they're actions. And who cares if the effing spear was warranted? Does that make it any better? If burrows wanted to make Reilly pay do it legally or do it on the score sheet no need for any more drama considering he's making 4M to play as a 4th line checker.

rizzuto&hatoum Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I say he slipped and oops it happened to strike Rielly accidentally on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 It would have been preferable to set him up for a hard hit than to give a cheap shot or even a fight. But I prefer a cheap shot to no response. They need to know that we won't tolerate anything that is even borderline late. The fact that Burrows had to give a spear was not good to see. But the guys are angry about the current situation and Burr probably didn't want that late hit to slip by. And it didn't end up causing any injury to Toronto's player. Considering that Martin is cheap enough to go after Stetcher, I think someone on our team should have done the similar thing and jump Nylander, Marner, or Matthews as a payback or even to land a predatory hit at them like the one the Daniel got or a slightly late hit like the one that Hansen got. That would have been more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Dirty? Yes very. Warranted? Yes. If you compare it to the things the Leafs pulled, it's warranted and not even close to being the dirtiest play on the night. If it was a one off thing in a game I'd be calling Burr out because it would be unnecessary but in this case it was retaliation for a late hit that was very close to being a headshot. Sutter tried to get Rielly to answer the call but he refused and Burr being Burr went after him in a way he knew he could. Would have been better if the linesmen let them get up and actually go after each other after they went down to the ice during their "fight". If you review all the plays on the night, Burrows incident isn't that significant in comparison, unless you are a Leafs fan desperately trying to justify your teams cowardly plays. I've seen "the code" mentioned. Even Toronto lover Don Cherry was allover the Leafs for their uncalled for actions in a 5-2 game. That's a big part of "the code". It's a young team they have over there and it's quite a bit of a junior mentality going on. No respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucklehead91 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The "spear" is blown out of proportion. Burrows tried to slap him with the stick on his backhand and he lost an edge and the toe got Reilly. Not being biased but that spear was not a forward projection of the stick, it was lateral. He was trying to get under his skin and get Reilly to get caught up in it. A spear is what Marchand did or what Steve Ott did to Chara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lafayettecrossbar Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The spear wasn't as bad as other things in that game. The two late hits come to mind... I love Burrows and that spear doesn't change a damn thing for me. Should be a good game on the 3rd. But really, Babcock needs to calm his young team down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I loves Burrows spear, I'm just sorry he did not do more damage. After when Reilly did to Hansen and Kadri did to Daniel, it was absolutely warranted. I loved everything the Canucks did, they stuck up for themselves which they haven't really done in the past. Burrows may have had a history but so has Kadri. For anyone who thinks Burrows went to far, I don't think Burrows went far enough. The refs should have just let them fight it out. How did Burrows go too far when you consider everything the Leafs did including going after a rookie in Stecher who didn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burr was most likely trying to get Reilly to fight, and Reilly kept saying no. The so called spear was a clumsy attempt at a poke to get a fight started. Reilly knew exactly what was coming, but didn't want to fight, so he skated away, making the spear worse. Reilly will be forced to square off in the December game. He will have to bop. If he doesn't, and just wrestles, then he will continue to get speared, slashed, and stuff like that. He has to bop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that boy wants to cheapshot like he did Hansen, and not answer the bell then he deserves everything he gets. Burrows did not go to far, he's just showing the other team not to mess with his team.

That had no reason for happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
