Not really a surprise because it's the NHL, as Canucks forward Alex Burrows will not be suspended for Game 2 after biting the finger of Patrice Bergeron at the end of the first period of Game 1 last night.
So as long as you don't look like you're intentionally biting someone it's ok to do. So now if any players get face washed or whatever just bite away. You won't get suspended or fined. Congrats NHL for another fine job with not disciplining players that cross the line. Just pathetic.
"After reviewing the incident, including speaking with the on-ice officials, I can find no conclusive evidence that Alex Burrows intentionally bit the finger of Patrice Bergeron," said NHL vice president Mike Murphy.
