I get that it's his job to get under his opponents' skin but I kinda wish someone had broken his jaw afterwards.
Yea, I think Alex is going to have to come clean and apologize this time. When it was Tootoo complaining about him mocking his dead brother we gave Burrow's a pass as we didn't trust Tootoo, now with Sullivan speaking up it lends credibility to Tootoo. I know Sullivan said that first comment was in the AHL, not sure about the timing of the second comment in the NHL.
With what Burrows saw of Ryan Rypien and what the organization and team mates did to support Ryan before and after his death you'd think he would be a lot more aware and sensitive regarding suicide and what he said to Tootoo. As a 24 year old I can give Burrows a bit of a pass with Sullivan, young and doing whatever he could to make it to the NHL. A 34 year old mocking suicide is too far over the line.
