What a Situation.

So after last nights frustrating loss to the Nashville Predetors which saw 2 horrible penalty calls against Burrows. Burrows then said in his post game interveiw that one of the Referees "Stephane Auger" told Burrows before the game that he was going to get Burrows back for making him look bad in a game earlyar this year. In that game on Dec.8 Burrows got charger and he went down and looked injured so the referee gave a 5 minute major to the player to charged Burrows. Then Burrows came out and played later in the power play. So in the 3rd period with under 5 minutes left the ref gave Burrows a diving call which was a little questionable but coul have been a holding the stick penelty to Burrows But then a few minutes later Burrows was handed a Phantom Goaltender interferance penalty which never appeared to happen. So if the ref was truley looking to get back at Burrows he definatly did so and in the mean time he managed to screw over the whole Canucks team, management and then the Vancouver Canucks fans. If this turns out to be true that the ref threatened and then carried out his threat, then he will most likely find himself out of work. The NHL has launched an investigation on this issue and in the mean time they fined 2,500 dollars for publically critizizing a referee. Lets hope the fine gets taken back when the referee is found guilty. Roberto Luongo also said in his post game interview that he has, "never seen anything like that in his career" regarding the referees. This really makes you wonder that if this is the first time this has come out publically how many other times this has happened when the refs havent threatened players and if referees acctually hold grudges against players. Anyways we will see how this ends up working out. Lets hope the NHL deals with this properly so that issues wont come up anymore. In my opinion if this happened in say Toronto then the NHL would have dealt with this alot quicker and would have probably suspended the referee until the investigation is over instead of just fineing the player.
