Why are Canuck fans complaining about Sutherland?
Is
Scouting The Refs website not correct?
It shows that the Canucks are actually 2W 1L this year, with him as the ref. Oilers are 2W 4L with Sutherland as the official. Sutherland and both linesmen are from BC.
Based on that, Oiler fans should have more of a beef (pardon the pun) with the official assignment.
Gave Daniel Sedin an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for being punched in the head 5 times by Marchand in the stanley cup finals while play was stopped.
Called multiple consecutive iffy penalties against the Canucks in an elimination game against San Jose (2013), culminating in a soft call on a shoulder to shoulder hit in overtime where he was on the other side of the ice after he called a soft penalty on Bieksa with 5 minutes left in the game, leading to the tying goal.
Called 5 consecutive penalties against the Canucks in game 4 against San Jose in 2011, including two five on threes.
Only gave Keith a 2 min penalty for elbowing Daniel Sedin in the head and concussing him, which he was suspended 5 games for. Sedin didn't have the puck and was in the neutral zone, Sedin was done for the year.
Sutherland is a noted Canucks hater.
