Alex Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks was caught biting the Bruins’ Patrice Bergeron at the end of the 1st period of last night’s game during a skirmish. Bergeron plead his case to the officials after the incident, showing them his scraped and bloody finger but no penalty was assessed. What should the NHL do about it?

Burrows was quick to deny Bergeron’s claims, saying “He had his finger in my mouth but I don’t think I bit him.

Despite Burrows’ arguments, this video shows he clearly clamped down on Bergeron’s finger:
