Hockey Refs

Isn't it unfortunate that no matter how bad the refereeing is in a sporting event, whether it's hockey or football or baseball (not that anybody watches that). The players and coaches are not allowed to say anything or they get fined.

But this whole Burrows-Auger situation has nothing to do with the bad refereeing. That will happen. Calls are made for the home team, calls are made against the home team. Calls are missed and maybe even they didn't see exactly what happened. My problem (and I don't know why they don't concentrate more on this) is this whole "vendetta" thing. Did the referee go up to Burrows and say "I'm gonna get you" at the beginning of the game? Why is this being swept under the rug? I'm not defending Burrows, he's always been known as a diver and nuisance. But if the referee did say what is alleged, then he has every right to have said what he said in defence.

That being said, who's looking forward to the next time Auger refs at GM Place?
