dave-O Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Only one side of the story so far, but the video evidence is pretty damning. Recap And Auger has been consider one of the worst refs in the league long before this incident with Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) See if you can see Auger mouth "you back" or something similar. Edited January 12, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bob Mack's take, personally I find it (just desserts for a diver) a bit hard to swallow. Refs have to be impartial, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I kind of agree with Mack's POV. "In theory, a referee should be above evening the score or settling personal vendettas, but hockey is anything but a theoretical exercise."Methinks this kind of stuff goes on all the time (Anyone see the YouTube I posted a while back with the ump calling a guy out and then telling him it was for chirping at him the game before?)and the unwritten code is that you don't talk about it and it get's policed by the players and the ref's(umps) themselves. I also think that, as wrong or unethical as it is, Burrows did indeed open a "can of worms," by going directly to the media with it, rather than keeping it in-house. Now the NHL, the Refs and Nucks have to play the PR game that Im sure they would rather avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 That's how the cookie crumbles.Burrows now has a bullseye on his chest from all other refs in the league. A 50-50 wil go against Burrows. Its the same thing in basketball. Michael Jordan got away with murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Tim Donaghy disagrees with the title of this thread. As do many soccer refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
