The display from Ottawa Senators forward Alex Burrows was disgusting. Let’s just get that out of the way. What he did to New Jersey Devils star forward Taylor Hall has no place in today’s game.
In case you missed it, here it is:
After a completely legal, and necessary, hit to keep the puck in the zone, a scrum started in front of the net. It started with some pushing and shoving, which is fine. Then Hall skated away from the scrum. That should have been the end of it. It wasn’t.
Burrows went after Hall as he was skating away.
