That is your measuring stick right there. It is such a dirty play that your rarely if ever see it. That to me screams more games than less.

[SuperMatt18]

Should be 20 games

[theinfinitejar]

Already got offered an in-person?

Pretty sure they're going to hammer him.

Ground and pound. If you want fighting in the game, why should it just be stand up?

Yeah but is it 8, 10, 20? I knew the moment I saw the replay a suspension was coming but there's just not a precedent to this to put your finger on how many games he's going to get.

What did Pronger get for the skate blade stomp?

That is the first thing that comes to mind as a comparable for me.

What a great hit he throws on Burrows initially.

I love that after how the media pestered Hall during the Oilers playoff run last season, the role is completely reversed this season.

If I ever see Alex Burrows on the street, I'm going to be extremely tempted to pull his hair, bite his finger, and then knee him in the back of the head. If he asks why I did it I'll say, "What? I thought it'd be fun to have a quick pick up game of street hockey...Burrows style."

Its not a body check gone wrong that ends up hitting the head, its not an accidental high stick. Etc..

There is no precedence because no one has been this stupid to try and smash a guys head into the ice while he is pinned.

This will be a very heavy penalty. 10 games or better is my guess.

trying not to let my feelings about the player get in the way, but I would give him 12 games.
I wouldn't be sad if he got more.

Clean and well delivered hit by Hall. Burrows can't take a hit so he resorts to cheap #### tactics.

Hoping theres a suspension.

[Toonage]

Perfect timing to set an example. Not like the Sens are going anywhere and Burrows is scum, so 10 games.

[erikk3]

Waived his right to an in-person hearing according to TheScore. Coward

Protect yourself at all times.

Parents thinking their children can do no wrong is how people like Burrows are created.

Completely overblown, much like everything Burrows does. Reminds me of the uproar over Tkachuk's antics.

Pronger probably should have got 25+ games, but he stomped Kesler, so it was only 8 games.

Classic Burrows
