I'm not going to spend a bunch of time getting dragged into an argument about Alex Burrows of all people - enormous waste of time - but it's fairly crazy to suggest he's the "dirtiest player in the league". I get that you hate him, I even get why, but suggesting he comes anywhere close to someone like Neal, or Torres. |
You're still using a long winded and round about way of justifying the fact that you most likely have cheered for him as a Canuck fan by pointing out there are other dirty players in the league.
Who cares.
The handful of cheap-shot artists in the NHL don't alleviate the disgusting acts / comments Burrows has perpetrated. You suggesting their are some kind of hypothetical and universally accepted tiers of shamefulness is just a lame attempt at deflecting / excusing he and his actions
