Jordin Tootoo and Alexandre Burrows are two of the NHL's most impa sioned agitators. Buta seemingly harmle sencounter between the two during Sunday's Devils-Canucksgame left Tootoofeeling wronged enough that he vented to reporters afterward, callingBurrows "cla sle s" for supposed personal slurs made during a penalty box exchange. MORE: | "Everyone fights Phil Russell Jersey a fight no one knows about and when you dive into personal i sues, it's just cla sle s," Tootoo said, ."To me, that's cowardly.I have no respect for that guy. Nor should the league. They shouldn't tolerate stuff like that." WithTootoohaving alreadyservedthe majority of aminor penaltyin the first period,Burrows was sent to the opposite penalty box and settled in. That's when Tootoosaid Burrows began a verbal a sault that he felt went beyond acceptable agitatorparlance. Here's the exchange with Burrows that made Tootoo call him "cla sle s" after the game: thanksgiving pun (@Pat_Iversen) The penalty box guys even rolled their eyes like,'Is this guy really saying this (expletive)?'" Tootoo said."I don't have any respect for him. I don't need an apology for him or nothing. It's just cla sle s." Tootoo declined to elaborate on what was said.

It wasn't clear what initiated the back and forth. Tootoo said he later challenged Burrows to a fight but was rebuffed, which angered him further. "If you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk," Tootoo said. "To make the remarks he did about my personal life and family is cla sle s and unacceptable in this day and age.That's why I went after him." Burrows didn't speak to reporters after the game.
