looked like he jumped in the air and did a 180- how is that not a charging?

i dont give a **** about either team so dont pull that with me.

Flying Elbow.

did he leave his feet....duh yeah i think so. this is a dirty hit. i don't mind when players respond with a fight after a dirty hit. infact i like it. good on arnot even though he gave burrows no chance. but he didn't really deserve one. needless to say if you throw a dirty hit (or any hit at all this season) you better be ready to drop em.

Alexandre the Not-Quite-So-Great cleverly figured out that the refs weren't calling anything, and took advantage.

Jason Freaking Arnott of all people pounded him once he realized the refs weren't going to throw the little blighter out. Then he wanted to take O'Brien out as well, for getting in the way.

Looks suspiciously like a case of trying to injure the opposing team's leading scorer to me...I would not be surprised by a suspension, and it's quite outrageous that nothing was called on Burrows, and VAN ended up with a 7 minute PP.

I cant believe they let burrows play

I'm not sure exactly what some of you guys are seeing here. Burrows did leave his feet, which should have been called ( but when has it ever been called? ) but he kept the elbow down and his arm was tucked in when delivering the hit. Other than that, it's a good hit. The replay showing Burrows starting from his own goal line shows the possibility of a charge, but again, how often does that get called anymore? Arnott gets the win here in a crap fight, because Burrows does his typical candy ass cover up as punches fly his way.

this is the kind of fighting that hockey doesn't need. ok i see that burrows took a cheap shot, but he got attacked from behind by arnott. if you attack anyone from behind, they will get owned, and as much as the hit by burrows is bad, an assault is even worse.

not really a fight, but justice was served

What was that?

Arnott had to step up since the refs are freakin blind. A guy cheap shots Dumont by leaving his feet with his elbow up. Burrows turtles like a wuss. Burrows will get what's coming to him when they play again.

no fight, just a deserved mugging, that hit was dirty, he jumped about 2 feet in the air and elbowed his head,
Posted by CairnsIsGod33 on Dec 10, 2008 at 2:53 AM agree disagree
You would expect Arnott to have a little more control rather than jumping a guy but imo it was the right thing to do. Burrows never had a chance. I would have liked to see the Obi Vs Arni fight though.

BURROWS IS A FREAKING P*SSY!!!
Posted by burns08 on Dec 10, 2008 at 1:40 AM agree disagree
Burrows again shows that he's the biggest pansy in the NHL. He likes to start crap but cowers when he has to fight. Burrows is a joke. Arnott wins, and I only wish he would've had more time to pummel Burrows.

stephenandrobyn...you think leaving your feet and bringing elbows to the face is a clean hit? Are you kidding me? And no offense, but if fighting in hockey wasn't made for situations like this than what's the point of it. The fact that you think Arnott is an idiot for doing what he did shows that you either have blue balls for Burrows or you simply haven't a clue about hockey.
