[The Darkest Canuck]

I'm glad that Stoll hit Burrows after the empty netter. It's an unwritten hockey rule that you never over-celebrate an empty netter in the regular season.
It's about time that somebody stands up for those unwritten rules, and if he gets suspended/fined for it, it means the big wigs upstairs don't understand the game.

I think in the context of that particular game, the celebration was warranted..it was one of those hard-fought battles that don't come around that often anymore in the "new" Nhl. Edmonton are just shitty losers

no, i think tth fan is definately right, Burrows' didn't need to celebrate an empty-netter, not to mention as Don Cherry would tell you, there's no real need to celebrate any goal that extensively (for surely not in the regular season)...act like you've done it before, and you're gonna do it again, show some class! it was an ampty netter! and in a chippy game like that you're just asking for trouble...

if it would've happend vice versa, you would probably change your tune, so don't blame it on the non-sense like the Oilers being sore losers, or the "new" NHL...that's B.S.
