King Heffy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 14 minutes ago, HKSR said: For the folks that don't remember or are new to the game, Kelly Sutherland is the referee that watched Marchand punch Sedin in the face multiple times during the 2011 finals that resulted in no penalty assessed against Boston. Enough said. My hopes and expectations for tonight's game just sank. It's pretty terrible that we can pretty much figure out what will happen tonight based on a ref's assignment to the game. Says a LOT about the state of reffing in the NHL. And then called a penalty on Sedin. Also only gave Keith a minor for his elbow to Daniel and was a big part of rigging the series against San Jose. There's no excuse for this piece of shit to be employed by any league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason10009 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I would love to see Zadorov carry the puck more often. And when someone attempts to forecheck him, to simply bowl over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever does - look out - because we all saw what he could do back in the first half of the season. But something tells me his injury he got around All-Star time has not gotten any better. On a brighter note, he did throw 1-1/2 hits last game. Not sure that indicates anything or not. He does seem like he is battling something, like you mentioned from around the allstar break. I suspect he tweeked his lower back during that weekend. Even the slightest pulled muscle can take a long time to heal. But the last game he has looked a lot better than the past 2 months. It seems like he might be finally turning the corner from whatever is ailing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just his time with us, he's become a much better hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm guessing fans will be chanting about Sutherland tonight, which won't help the situation, but the fans won't be wrong. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Tocchet should come out and bring it up to the forefront so all eyes will be on it. "Yeah, I know, I've heard about the history that the Canucks fans have had with Sutherland, but I don't believe any of the refs are biased in any fashion. Kelly has had many, many years of experience under his belt. I'm sure he will do a great job as one of the refs tonight. They are doing the best job they can, and we just need to play our game." BOOM. Into the media, to the forefront. Sutherland does a shit job and it becomes front and centre. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rychicken Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 All this worry about a referee??? Deb is going to the game - she will deliver a few cowbell shots to his temple as soon as he makes one bad call against the Canucks (it will be more than a few shots if the call is against JTM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
