It's Burrows, everyone hates him, and he returned to the play, so there won't be any supplemental discipline. I'm reading that his comment was that he needed to be more aware of his surroundings which also helped the NHL out. But if it was Teemu Selanne or some other beloved player on the other end and he stayed out for precautionary reasons people would be calling for Nino's head on a stake.

There's no debate that his head wound up getting hit, but that doesn't make it a dirty play at all.
Didn't leave his feet, didn't target the head, stuff happens when big people collide at high speed.
