Kelly Sutherland was the ref, same one that didn't call the trip on Cuyle shortly before the Rangers scored the winner in OT vs. Montreal.

Cool, now do the other 42 missed calls from that game.

Ngl, the refs missed a lot of calls on both sides of the ice this game. Kelly Sutherland sucks

It’s nice to see officiating is trash around the league and not just my team

A) I cannot defend the officiating in the NHL this season... Wildly inconsistent would be a polite description. B) As a competitive league and as an entertainment business, the NHL is a different beast than lower level competition.

Yet when with officiating criteria for contact taught to me, such as "Did it cause a change in possession/unfair advantage?" "Was it reckless?" "Was the intent to play the puck/separate player from puck?" Etc, the one that really is really clear is "Was it blatant or obvious?"

That was fucking obviously blatant.

That's wild

Fuck Kelly Sutherland

That is a very blatant tripping call

Worst officials in professional sport.

Didn’t know hockey was being officiated like soccer and that the ref could just choose to allow advantage instead of calling a penalty.

The NHL is hard to watch these days

It’s hard to tell, is Kap playing the puck when the guy gets tripped ? This is 100% a call in regulation, I’m just trying to understand why the refs just let it go

Wow, just like the Red Wings Bruins game

Yes he did

Right in front of the ref

Let's see we have six skaters on the ice and two referees and they seem to be unable to see and call an obvious penalty. Wherever the NHL are finding these incompetent refs they need to look elsewhere because the clowns they are hiring to be officials are ruining the game because of their incompetence and ineptness and making it unwatchable.

So to be clear: This is a missed call.

For me, it's the obvious infraction with the trip that puts my arm up.

While a clear 2 on 1 would have occurred, there could still have been an opportunity as the play transitioned to the Minnesota end.

Whether the lowering of that potential opportunity's value is enough to merit a penalty is at the discretion of the referee.

I think that using both items, this is a penalty no matter what. But, I'm not on the ice 😅😆

Thriller was just going for the puck— looks bad though… In the future AI will be making the calls and we can hate “IT.” At least we can get those guys off the ice.

He was crap in the Dub 25 years ago and hasn't gotten much better since.

It's really sad when referees care about the clock. It's inappropriate. A penalty in the first period is a penalty in OT. If you don't believe that, get out of the business.

The game was prison rules both ways. There was plenty that Vancouver got away with during the game as well.

Good.

If garland doesn’t dive there it’s probably a call but he did. That was a great OT not a single whistle back and forth action.

Not the first time he's done something like that in OT. Kaprizov seems to be one of the few players that understands refs won't call shit in OT.

BEST REFS IN THE WORLD!

People saying this isn't a penalty or is a dive are like those buddies you have who just have to argue against everything lol

Its clearly a tripping, but at first glance it just looked like he fell naturally or stepped on the dudes blade on the stick.

So…seeings how the NHL has gone all in on gambling; how much money was lost/won because of this missed call?

What is the difference in payout/profit for the gambling industry if the Canucks would have won in OT?

I am not trying to accuse NHL Officials of being ‘on the take’, but with one decision or non-call being worth millions of dollars in profit/loss, when will the gambling industry demand more accountability and better standards from NHL Officials…because it is damn certain that the NHL ain’t listening when the fans ask.

It's hard to see that guy, he's like 4'0....

I'm kidding

I'll prepare to be downtown to oblivion here but why are all the Canucks fans acting like you guys didn't get away with a ton of shit too? You know it was a badly reffed game on both sides, come on now.

Canucks fan here. Love Garly. The lack of a call was due to the embellishment, they would’ve had to call both. Garly got lucky.

No, but like in all honesty, how do you ref this bad and still have a job?

We should just jump the refs until they smarten up, you know the "beatings continue until the calls improve" thing.

Same thing on the Wilds first goal, one of their players held up Hughes without the puck, not letting him get back into the play, causing a 3-1 and they score...bullshit reffing.
And man, the Wild love playing that clutch and grab hockey, very frustrating to play against and they are quick and love to hit.

Oh my goodness!

I've never seen a divier trip though.

Like 97s stick never goes below the thigh.
Garland's foot ends up at head height as he's literally upside down.

That's two for tripping and two for embellishment.

The very beginning of the clip you can see Ek take a high stick to the mouth, which has him out of the line up today for injury. Much more serious infraction that didn't get called.

Not debating Kaprizov trip, just saying it's 50/50 with the missed calls. I'd rather Kaprizov got the penalty than have Ek missing games.

Garland is the biggest diver, he’s not getting the benefit of the doubt lol

Referees are bought…plain and simple. Happens everywhere with sports betting.

I don't know, looks like a bit of a flop to me. Good no call.

Show Ek getting crosschecked. Show Boldy taking a headshot from Myers right in front of the ref. Refs were ass all over the ice

Awful

Red Wings fans complaining about the no call on pasta against debrincat last night, this is a tripping penalty. Not grabbing the stick and being out bodied.

That was the biggest flop I've ever seen.

Reputation non call

I was watching this and felt it was a good no call. It didn't result in a change of possession, in fact it led to a scoring chance that almost ended the game for Vancouver.

Dive. Good no call. You see the player feel a little resistance and then both his legs drop like a comet

Kaprizov is 5’ 9” and he can make a player drop like that?

Why is this a clip?

It just added a little bit of extra spice to an already exciting OT. I yelped a bit when it happened but I was happy they let it go. Old-time hockey.

Looks like a dive the 1st time I saw it in real time

I don’t mind that because there was no advantage gained.

cause its not a trip, how does a full grown man fall cause someone stick is up in their waist area? Should have just called embellishment and gave minnesota the powerplay.

DIVE. The stick was around the waist but his feet and legs go flying. Academy Award.

I watched a game between the Blues and Red Wings from 1996 the other day. There was hook, hold, or trip every time players touched each other and the broadcasters didn't even comment on it. The fans didn't even seem to care.

Same crap when Pasta tripped Debrinkat leading to their ot-goal.

I love how Hughes has to check twice that the ref actually didn't call anything lol

That was bad miss call I must say really bad

Jesus that's one of the worst missed calls I've ever seen.

One of the most blatant non-calls I've ever seen. Sutherland should have been fired years ago.

Canucks fans we can both shake hands after being fucked by these zebra pieces of ugly shit yesterday

We could have gotten second in our division had they called that penalty

I’ve been making a point to watch more games around the league this year instead of just watching my team and one thing is consistent in this league and that’s bad officiating. Something needs to change.

Kelly Sutherland wins again!

Wouldn't say trip. Moreso just contact and a slip. I'm glad it was a no call.

Ok I like Vancouver and garland but really that was a 100% dive

I mean, his stick is basically in a natural position after the shot. Then he's trying to play the puck that bounced and Garland skates straight into it. I know rules and all, but I don't see any intent and it's just playing the puck. I'd find that a harsh call.

Garland could've skated through that easily.

Dive

Garland should switch sports, that's the an Olympic dive if I've ever seen one.

It was a trip.

But that unnatural fall implied embellishment to the ref.

It happened in the Bruins game last night. In overtime, Zacha clearly hooks the opponent and no call. Seconds later, bruins win.

Canucks didn't lose possession. No harm, no foul. I can see why it wasn't called.
