Thats tremendous f'n logic.
Actually when the  Duck won the Cup Pronger got suspended for a game against Ottawa for a hit.

Looking at this incident in isolation it stands as the most trivial case of biting ever.  To suggest the NHL is in disrepute because of how they handled this matter is beyond laughable.  
You don't see the Bruins whining about this.....they play the game like men.  They have moved on but I guess some here will suggest this cup is tainted because of the infamous nibble.

even last night the slash on bieksa by kelly was far more vicious. moreso, the refs didn't even call a penalty and while bieksa was crumpled on all 4's it led to an open chance for kelly to score!
that was pathetic, but kevin is good and no goal scored. even if he did i would not be rushing to start a new thread about the mishap like the original cry baby of this thread did

Well said............a victim of a malicious slash and no call - and the Nucks, they just played on and beat the Bruins where it counts.

u are the biggest effin crybaby on here
and yes i remember u from the olys - you're a real 'debbie downer'
all u posted was how brodeur did not get his starts in goal. u completely whined about that taking away alot of the joy we canadians had on this site.
u r so anti nuck it makes me
u complain about the 'offside' on kesler which it wasnt'
u complain about burrows and no one has seen an actual biting video.
now u that he was instrumental.
u see the bruins dressing room. at least they have class.
they accept that he wasn't suspended and they move on
just like u should.
when bieksa nearly had his head taken off by bickell did any of us start a thread on that like u would?
no!
if u don't like what is going on with the league. save ur typing to send them a letter instead of a forum like this.

If they said he did bite and there would be no suspension then shit would of hit the fan for the other biters that were suspended.  So let's just say we didn't say anything and we cover our asses.

So yeah, what wiggins said, just more verbose.

I have great respect for you NJ Devils..........but no way, no how does this incident call for suspension.  I've read over the rules etc and to suggest this warranted suspension is simply crazy.

1st thanks
2nd . He bit him. He didnt deserve 10 games but 1 game or you know what  I will give everyone this. How about you just fine him? Come out and say we really dont want this in our game and fine him a few thousand dollars. So you sort of punish him and it looks like you dont want guys to bite each other and then you move on.

    By doing nothing, by completely lying and saying there was no video evidence of a bite, which no one except Burley believes, it looks foolish and I think it is an embarrassment to the league especially when this guy scores the winner the next game.

A fine would be reasonable to denounce biting in the game....agreed.  I don't think the bite was vicious or was there an intent to injure so I struggle with the suspension aspect.  That said, to deter other incidents and have the league acknowledge/demonstrate it was wrong, a fine was proper for sure.

Hey I didn't know Colin Campbell is now a member of the Covers Forums. Congratulations in stepping down, how's retirement going?

NHL's management is a joke!

They are as consistent as Scott Gomez's ability to score goals.
