Borrows Victimized?
Discuss
-
I'm siding with Burrows 'til Auger comes out and says something to the contrary - those calls were disgusting and clearly there's something there from their previous encounters. Unfortunately Buttman's not got the balls to anything about it anyway.
-
As a Burrows owner, less yapping, more scoring. It`s entertaining, and Im sure there`s some truth to what he said, but still... hockey is a game of codes, and this crossed the line a wee bit. It doesnt bode well for getting calls in the future either...

Yes...and as a Burrows owner, I appreciate his 16 PIM in addition to his 2G and 1 PPP last game. As long as he doesn't get suspended, or let this affect his play, I say keep taking calls (from a purely fantasy perspective. Obviously penalties hurt the team...but not me ;-)

The ref was wrong he wasnt consistant with his calls the annoncer for the game made the comment about it verger should be bent over and the sedin twins should back pass his ass

It seems pretty obvious that the ref had something against Burrows or Vancouver as a whole unfortunately there is not enough evidence at this time to anything other than suspend Burrows for his comments (NHL policy I think you should be allowed to bash a ref's calls to all hell)
Let's first get rid of Gary Battman and revamp the NHL before it collapses or goes into another lockout under this moron.- 2 Replies to Magik

Regardless of what the ref actually said to Burrows before the game, it was unprofessional at best to put himself in the position to be accused of saying ANYTHING to Burrows.
What if an odd call had gone the other way, someone from Nashville would be accusing Auger of saying "Hey buddy, you owe me a steak dinner after the game." -
**Bettman :P

If the ref said what Burrows said he did, about "payback" and making the ref look bad, then the ref is a piece of you know what, and he should be severely reprimanded and or fired.
Does anyone remember what happend to the NBA ref? I know its a bit different, but the bottom line is, as a ref you are supposed to be invisible and most of all unbiased. we are all only human and can tolerate so much yapping etc. but that ref made more than 2 bad calls on Burrows. Or have we seen worse/better calls, at worse/better times in a game?
They also showed footage of the ref skating with Burrows before the game, just like Burrows mentioned. What was that all about?
Burrows has a right to call out the ref, IF the ref said that BS.
If not, burrows got what he deserved. -
yeah meanwhile everyone that owns luongo gets burned in gaa for the goal he let in on the ensuing powerplay.

referee should get fired
