BOTH A REF & PLAYER DEAL WITH INTEGRITY ISSUES

INTEGRITY ISSUES FRONT & CENTER!! Darren Pang
A ref and a player… Alex Burrows embellishes a hit in game against Nashville. The referee, Stephane Auger puts up his arm and calls a penalty on the Nashville player. After further review following the game by the ref, he views it as just that, an embellishment that obviously embarrassed the ref. Now moving ahead to further action… In Vancouver against the Predator’s, Burrows reportedly ( by Burrows) gets an earful from Auger prior to puck drop. He is told that he will “get him back” for the previous game. Oh boy. When you’re out really late at night..and into the wee hours of the morning, ..and you go outside…and the birds are chirping…nothing but bad happens. You know what I mean? |
