Before I even read about that, I was hoping someone would bring a banner to game 5 taunting Keenan for being such a whiny bitch the entire series (not necessarily in those terms, though). Now it definitely needs to happen.

I can’t explain in any other way how Mike Queenan got sand in his vagina.

If a stick was broken on someone’s face, the amount of blood issued from said face would be impossible to ignore, since it would be all over everybody and everything near that face.

I said it before, and I will say it again: anyone complaining about cheap shots that works for the Calgary organization is a rapist who complains about violence against women.

Calgary may not have a beach, but it certainly has a bitch. Shut up Keenan, you’re still fired.

… but I watched that video four times now and never saw a cross check to the face. It was clearly right on the top part of Bourque’s chest (that’s what she said). I’m not even sure how his stick broke on that play.

While Burish defintely cross checked Renee, look who had 3! Yes 3! SLASHING penalties in the game. They got what they deserved. I won’t even mention the high stick to Brouwers face righ in front of the ref that was not called. Why is Keenan crying? Aren’t his big bad Flames tough enough to defend themselves?

…but given the precedent set by the Lucic suspension, I think Burish should be sitting the next game. The whole thing was clearly premeditated. No, he didn’t even come close to Borque’s face, but he still broke his stick on dude with a running crosscheck. Then, instead of getting off the ice when he made to the bench, he waited for Borque to come over and take a swing him.

I’m not saying the Flames came out of the game smelling like roses because they’re M.O. is clearly to hit first and worry about penalties later, but most of the slashes and high sticks the Flames handed out could be construed as happening in the course of play and Burish clearly took a run Borque with the intent to cross check him high. For all we know, if Burish were more than 5 feet tall that check may have been in Borque’s face.

NOTE: My opinion on this may be influenced by that fact that I just don’t like Adam Burish all that much.

I have heard great stories of what a psycho he was during the 91-92 season, also I read about how he acted the year after the Rangers won the Cup. Did he always whine, its not even bitching, he is whining this is playoff hockey, stuff isnt gonna get called. Was Burish cross-check dirty, Hell yes, lets not forget Cammalari’s punch to Havlats nose or Rene Borque’s 3 slashes.
