For those of us who have played competitive sports (Jon I know u have) we all understand what it's like to get caught up in the moment and make an ill-advised play which has an outcome we never hoped for. No excuses for what happened, but Hockey is a brutal sport and filled with emotion, that usually is a recipe for a disaster or two.

All that being said, I feel the Bite was 100x worse and the fact that their was no suspension will bite the NHL in the arse.
I agree with everything you say in the first part, but what do you mean there was no suspension?

The dude who bite in game 1 received no penalty or suspension from the league... NHL said evidence was inconclusive.

They removed the suspension from his Escalade so he had to drive home in with his back hurting. Standard punishment for biting in ice hockey.

I agree with you Craigger, I'm just stubborn and mad after watching the hit again. Getting caught up in the moment can make a person do very regrettable things. I think the bite was BS and they should have suspended him for that.

A bit off-topic but, is it just me or are the national anthem singers getting worse every game? Guy sounded like he was being strangled while singing last night. Brutal loss for the Canucks too.

Oh yeah and I forgot to say this last night; I was very happy to see Manny Malhotra back on the ice. Glad to see his injury wasn't career ending.

If you don't feel joy seeing manny back on the ice, you have no soul.

Glad Rome got four games, although it's a trade I'm sure most Canuck fans would take any day (sadly).
