Kesler, Burrows... can't really blame the refs that much they build that reputation themselves.

What does there reputation have to do with the rest of the calls?

Making reputation calls and not calling the rule book consistency both ways is a problem. We've seen it for far too long.

Go tell that to the NHL, in any case that is what their doing. Their calling games with the Canucks reputation in mind not just Burrows and Kesler, there are other guys too.

But yea I agree with you the refs are a joke this series and I am pissed too.

Don't know if it's only me, but don't you wish our coach showed more fire with some of those calls?

Unfortunately, until the Canucks get rid of Kesler, Burrows and Lapierre that kind of stuff is going to happen.

I don't even know if the officials are doing it consciously, but the Canucks have earned a reputation, and I think there's only one way to fix it.

The team needs to make some significant changes to it's culture - starting with the coach, and then replacing the players mentioned above.

We can complain about the officials all we want, but it's pretty clear what's happening.

He would have just gotten another bench minor, only Quenville is allowed to call out the officials and upstage them by ranting and raving on his bench.

I could care less if we were going to lose anyways...I'd just give it to them.

In fact, AV should have done what Roger did....maybe we'll actually have a chance at coming back from 3-0 deficit with AV suspended. :sarcasm:

There's just no logical explanation for these calls. Yesterday's game was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen, it was like the teams had literally different set of rules. That Lapierre "crosscheck" that was more of a shove than anything gets a minor and Kesler gets drilled with legitimate crosscheck and SJ gets nothing? Hamhuis gets minor from slashing and Hannan has identical play except after the whistle against Kesler and nothing? Not to even mention the scrums or those closing hand on the puck non-calls that cost the Canucks a penalty shot and a 5 on 3 in addition to one penalty in previous game against Hank when he didn't even touch the puck with his hand.

Nothing but a disgrace, but at least they are consistent with it. From Shanahan to the on ice officials, one big joke.

Definitely do not have refs on our side, but have to agree that a lot of it is self-inflicted. I just can't another explanation.

Canucks don't dive or whine anymore than any other team. I have not seen Kesler or Burrows engage in any more antics over the course of their career than the Sharks players have in the two recent series we've played them.

I'm not going to make the argument that the officials are why we are down 3-0, but this has been the most poorly officiated series of all the ones I've been watching. Remember when officials actually had a feel for the game?

16-6 is the PP advantage for the Sharks this series. If the Sharks were dominating possession and carrying the play 5 on 5 that would make sense. However, everyone mostly agrees that with the exception of the 3rd period of game 3, the teams are pretty even 5 on 5. So what gives? It makes it that much harder when a team is given an advantage like that.

What annoys me are the butter soft roughing penalties. A hook? A hold? No problem, but it's the playoffs and we have refs giving penalties to Garrison, Kassian and Weise for next to nothing.

Anyways, it's too late now for the reffing to balance out, damage has been done.

Sorry but that's just an excuse --these officials are supposed to be pro's but they are just hacks & it is ruining a good sport.

Refs have been inconsistent, which generally means awful. Some of the calls, then the non-calls that follow on similar plays, are an embarrassment to the sport.

The whole attitude that the Canucks have brought this on themselves is a joke.
The refs are supposed to be unbiased pro's who administer the rules consistently. That has not been the case in this series much to the detriment of the sport itself.

both teams are getting away with stuff, and both teams are getting called on stuff that their fan-bases think is cheap. whining about the refs is lazy, but not surprising since it seems to occur every year when the playoffs come around

The one consistent in that video was Couture. Flopping ****ing everywhere.

If there's one player the Canucks need to actually finish their checks on, it's him. That Bieksa penalty was just awful. If Couture is gonna react like that anyways, might as well crush him in the process rather than a light bump.

I almost wish this could somehow get sent to league office to look at, around here its just more whiney canuck fans even when the proof is in the video.

And to me I dont think is an excuse video, I do believe sharks have been the better team and have outplayed us and this is not a sob story, but a story about reffing that has been inexcusably awful, and its likely going to end up costing other teams to.

This is BS- the officiating is bad--it undermines the integrity of the game. That's the problem.

Are they inconsistent? Yes. Is it by accident? Absolutely not.

It's playoff hockey and everyone says how officials are going to put away the whistle.What they didn't tell you is that the whistle only disappears for one team.

There is no way to accept that the refs are doing their job properly. This isn't just one call being unfair. The entire mindset from the refs are unfair and this is proof of it. The officials are purposefully taking every chance to put the Canucks in the box. That is until you've given 8-10 penalties or if the Sharks are winning by a large margin. Until then, you can't having a small scrum without a penalty that somehow leads to only one team going to the box and yes, it would be the Canucks. Why are they doing this? you tell me.
