Burrows Accuses Referee Stephane Auger of Being ‘Out to Get Him’

**Jan 12th – Updating the latest on the story as I hear it**

Jan12th – 7:20 PM: Burrows has received a $2500 fine, but no suspension.

Jan 12th – 6:42 PM: Burrows hearing with Colin Campbell underway.

With 5 minutes left in the Nashville game, the Canucks were on a powerplay with the game tied 2-2. Seconds into the powerplay, Alex Burrows is called on a very odd interference penalty that takes the Canucks off the powerplay. Seconds after that, the Canucks get called again. Nashville  scores on the ensuing 4-on-3 powerplay and goes on to win the game.

I was mad after the game, because when the outcome changes because of weak calls, it’s always a poor way to end the game. However, having refereed sports before, I know how difficult it can be to make the right call most of the time,  so I tend to often give the refs the benefit of the doubt. So, while I was mad, I wasn’t completely outraged.

That changed after hearing what Burrows had to say after the game.
