All I gotta say is did the refs even flipping show up tonight I mean I see them out there… but there is so many calls both ways they need to be making holy moly!
Sutherland is usually one of my favorite refs. It surprising to me when evaluating all the games hes reffed for the avs last few seasons, that there appears to be some bias that is skewed against the avs. Not saying its intentional but there may be something going on. A discussion is definitely merited by the nhl. Just looking at stats there is an anomaly with him officiating. I think they are 3-12 with him officiating and above average penalty minutes over last 3 or 4 years. Beech #12 is second, where all other refs are closer to average when adjusted for win% and pim. Sutherland was also the ref that assisted the infamous maple leafs goal. When you watch that clip it looks like he intentionally interferes with that puck. Have never seen anything like it. Just so many anomalies with this guy and its just odd. Its like losing a coin toss 80% of the time.

When will the NHL fire Kelly Sutherland?
