As I said in the other thread, it's not at all surprising that Burrows resorts to dirty tactics that basically nobody else in the history of the game would ever do.

Pulling hair, biting, kneeing someone in the back of the head... just a gutless embarrassment of a player.

Dangerous play. He's lucky he didn't seriously hurt Hall. I wonder how many games he will get for this as he has a history.

Still the undisputed dirtbag of the league. Can't believe the Sens traded for and extended this guy while giving up a top prospect to do so.

This is a tough one because you simply just don't see this type of infraction often so there's not really a measuring stick. No idea where the wheel will stop for this one.

IF he doesn't get seriously reprimanded this will be exhibit one in the class action concussion lawsuit against the NHL

That guy Greene needs to step up for his teammate there IMO. You can't let a guy like Burrows go after Hall.

Burrows is a dirty, dangerous player. Nothing new from him

One can only hope. Only hope, because he'll get a slap on the wrist if anything.

I think its fairly easy for the league on this kind of thing.

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.
