Bruins stomp on Canucks' throat after cheap hit



The Stanley Cup Finals were assumed by most to be a less hostile environment since the two teams had only met once during the regular season. This series has gone in the complete opposite direction from that. Alex Burrow of the Canucks bit B's center Patrice Beregeron in Game 1(1-0 Vancouver win). He was then not suspended by the NHL because there was no "conclusive" evidence even though it is clear on camera what happened. The series continued to escalate in Game 2 when the Vancouver media and Vancouver forward Maxim LaPierre mocked Beregeron. We all know if Lucic took a chomp out of one of their guys, an investigation would be opened by the Vancouver police because that is what happens in Canada. They sit on their asses, eat bacon and make up their own rules for the NHL playoffs. Of course, Burrows scored two goals including the game-winner in OT to give the Canucks a 2-0 series lead heading back to Boston Monday.

Game 3 is what the Canucks had coming to them. The game started with late, blind side hit on Bruins forward Nathan Horton by Vancouver defenseman Aaron Rome. Horton suffered a concussion and left the ice on a stretcher. Rome was given a five minute intereference penalty and a game misconduct. The game was chippy from then on out with both Mark Recchi and Milan Lucic taunting Burrows and LaPierre throughout the game. The Bruins then embarrassed Vancouver winning 8-1 with all eight goals coming goalie Roberto Luongo. That can't be good for confidence heading into Game 4. Horton will now be out for the remainder of the series so both Tyler Seguin and Shawn Thorton will dress for the Bruins. This put's the B's back in the series and makes Game 4 a very very important game. You gotta tie it up and send it back to that fucking city of Vancouver. Maybe that fat fuck will actually sing the whole anthem for once in Game 5. He is no Rene Rancourt that is for sure. Go B's!
