from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said Wednesday the uproar over the escalating number of suspensions and untoward acts in the first round of the NHL playoffs is misplaced.
He believes the storyline is the NHL enjoying the most compelling postseason start in many years, with highly competitive series and exceptional drama.
“This is like people complaining about the rain at Woodstock,” Burke said. “Yes, there was lots of mud, but it was the greatest music gathering in history.”

How many brain injuries was the rain responsible for?

It would be more apt to complain about the brown acid @ Woodstock. It was a harmful thing that marred an otherwise wonderful event - like the goonery that puts blood over skill.

Yes, if there is anyone that knows what’s good for playoff hockey it’s Brian Burke.
