Burrows risks suspension by accusing a ref of having a personal agenda against him.
Alex Burrows - "It was personal. It started in warmup, before the anthem, (Augers) came over to me and he said I made him look bad in Nashville on the (Jerred) Smithson hit and he said he was going to get me back tonight."
Normally I'd say blaming refs is a pretty cowardly thing to do after losing a game, the Canucks aren't the first team to suffer a loss as a result of questionable calls. But if the ref did indeed make those comments then he there should be some action from the league, but I can see the league just punishing Burrows and not doing anything to the ref, even if the investigation does turn something up.
And finally, the videos. The second call (in second youtube video) was completely bogus IMO.

This shit is a disgrace to the sport and an insult to the world of hockey.
