4. “Bite Me” With Alex Burrows In The 2011 Stanley Cup Finals
The 2011 Stanley Cup Finals was as full of hits, goals, and controversy. One of the many memorable moments from the Stanley Cup Finals came from game one when Alexander Burrows took it upon himself to bite Patrice Bergeron‘s finger. The move was classless, but didn’t result in a suspension; a decision that set the tone for controversy throughout the entire seven game series.
During game three of the series, Milan Lucic took it upon himself to respond to some of the instigators on Vancouver in Maxime Lapierre and Alex Burrows himself. Lucic pointed his fingers in the face of both of the previously mentioned players, taunting them to bite him.
“I was wrong,” Lucic said. “We are a classier team than that.”
The end result of the series was a Boston Bruins Stanley Cup win, but the series will always be shadowed by some of the controversy that took place during the series.
