Alex Burrows-Patrice Bergeron Bite Video: 2011 Stanley Cup Finals
Did Alex Burrows Bite Patrice Bergeron During Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals? Here is the Alex Burrows-Patrice Bergeron Bite Video
The Stanley Cup Finals 2011 are underway and we already have our first bit of controversy. During Game 1 of the series between the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins, Alex Burrows appeared to bite the finger of Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron.
The Alex Burrows bite on Patrice Bergeron occurred at the end of the first period. Bergeron and Burrows went at it and Burrows appeared to bite Bergeron's gloved finger. As they left to the dressing room, Bergeron took his glove off and showed his finger to officials, arguing that he was bitten.
If NHL officials conclude that Alex Burrows did in fact bite Patrice Bergeron, he might face a suspension. Two years ago, Ottawa's Jarkko Ruutu was suspended after biting Buffalo's Andrew Peters.

I don't know WTH Milbury was watching but that was no bite. When the ref's arm is obstructing the view, and there was no clear open mouth, you can't rule that a bite. What that is is a clear attempt on Bergeron to frame Burrows into a suspension. Great acting job. Burrows head goes down? Bergeron's glove was jammed in Burrows' face. He was bringing his arm up to remove Bergeron's glove from his mouth where Bergeron was trying to shove it. This is no bite, but just a blatant attempt by the Boston Bruins to CHEAT their way into an advantage by taking out a forward who has some potential offense for one crucial game. The Bruins know that their attempt to shut down the offense failed miserably tonight, so why not throw a little mudslinging. Don't make me gag. If the NHL rules this a suspension on a non-call Academy Award attempt to gain the upper hand, then believe me, the NHL head office needs a whole restructuring from Bettman down.

wow you are a sad individual. You must be blind not to see that Burrows bites his finger. Or just stupid one or the other. I wonder how much the Canucks had to pay the NHL not to suspend that stupid scumbag. Too bad Vancouver can't try and win the stanley cup the real way. hahahaha We can't get over how big of pussy's they are hahaha.
