I voted 6-10 because it is "what" you think they will give him, not what he should get.

This is almost like the McSorley's attack on Brashear. It's not hockey.
Fighting....hard hits against the boards...even elbowing are part of the game.

Kneeing someone in the back of the head is not.....what if he put him in a choke hold?
If Hall were to be injured, its the sort of thing the police should be involved with...not just the league.

10 games is a good start. Should have been McSorley'd and dropped from the league. This is beyond garbage, even tho it's 100% what you would expect from Burrows.

Seems really excessive. No injury and barely made contact. I think 1 or 2 games would have sufficed.

Seems about right. I would think he would have gotten a ton more extra games if there was serious injury as a result.

It's a shame that Ottawa won't even play 10 more games of meaningful hockey this year. Not even a real punishment, more like a holiday. Had this been to a player on a team that is fighting for the playoffs.. 10 games is huge.
