People put far too much emphasis on the biting yes. The same people who cheered for Horton's ECF game 7 winner were the first to cry foul that Burrows was playing. I don't care about the biting anymore. I think the way Vancouver was dicking around about it was stupid but that was game 2.
I actually don't know why you brought it up. Maybe Bergeron overreacted but it was a legitimate occurrence as opposed to Sedin pretending to get hit in the face to draw a penalty which you equated it to. I don't think they're at all comparable.

Are you trying to say Boston has never over exaggerated a particular play?
It's called embellishing.
I don;t necessarily agree with it, but it is what it is is. It is a part of hockey. It goes both ways, and if a player does it it too often, they get branded....you know what happened to the boy who cried wolf too often.
However this is the finals. Players will do whatever they can...WHATEVER they can, in order to gain an edge. It's not just Sedin, Its not just the Nucks. It's both teams. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.
Again, I am not condoning it, I merely stating the facts.
The finals is not just about skill...it is about comprehension.
Whoever wins this series played the game better. Simple as that
