Lee. Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I didn't see anything about the Canucks condemning the taunting, but then again, I haven't read many reports. My impression was that both teams had 'moved on' from the incident, with Julien particularly disgusted by fingers in general. I guess things change in a hurry.

Brass Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I didn't see anything about the Canucks condemning the taunting, but then again, I haven't read many reports. My impression was that both teams had 'moved on' from the incident, with Julien particularly disgusted by fingers in general. I guess things change in a hurry.I highly doubt that Claude Julien told his players "hey, go out there and shove your fingers in their faces." He probably spoke to the team after game two and said enough with the finger crap. The team agreed (because what else are they supposed to do?) and focused on game three. Then, the scrums after the whistle started. If you want to get under somebody's skin, you're going to do something that hits close to home like Burrows and the bite. You're going to do it without thinking and not stop and go "oh, wait, Coach told us not to do that." Believing that Claude Julien controls every little aspect of his team on the ice is ridiculous.

Sodboy13 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Enough of this quibbling; let's focus on some Real Canadian Heroes, those brave few Canucks fans with thousands of dollars in disposable income who would dare set foot in the fetid hell of Boston. True courage ignites the soul of a nation.http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=565021Honestly, WWE writers would reject this heel turn as being "too aggressive".

NEW.ERA Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 According to Dreger or McKenzie whoever.. Rome sent a text to Horton saying sorry and he never meant for it to go down like that. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 [Yes, but if this ends in 5, does he have to serve the rest of the games next year?I read it on either Twitter or Boston.com, Rome has to serve the 4 games. If the series ends early, the suspension carries over to the 2011-12 regular season. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Then have Rome out of the rest of the series, too. Have the punishment match the crime.This is bad policy. This just opens itself up to crappy gamesmanship when you can knock a divisional rival's top player out for the year by LTIRing (how do we say this? littering?) Gord Callup with a season-ending injury. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Not butthurt at all. But when the disciplinary committee calls Brian Burke, among others, to determine what kind if suspension should be handed down, you start wondering what's going on. I'm not saying that Rome should have gotten away cleanly. I just keep wondering where the consistency is. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Don't worry, everything is magically going to get better when Brendan Shanahan takes over discipline, just like how Steve Yzerman magically transformed the Tampa Bay Lightning.
