The video doesn't lie:

Everyone knows that when one watches a hockey game finger food is one of the treats served at bars and homes everywhere.

He may get a fine, but I don't see him getting suspended for it(due to it being the Cup finals). It was bushleague on his part, but it's not like it hasn't happened before(didn't someone nibble on Savard's fingers a couple of years ago?). I can see (perhaps) biting if someone is trying to stick their fingers down your throat, but it looked like Burrows moved his head to perform his bite. Not cool.

As to the game, it was a very good game(from what I saw online as I was working). I think that Vancouver carried the play the back half of the third period and Boston was on their heels a little, but Tim Thomas was being Tim Thomas. He will deservedly win the Vezina this year. Even though it was a low scoring game, it was still full of excitement.

The damned refs better not try to dictate the flow of the game like they did in game #1. That was ridiculous!
