Canucks are 0/9 in playoff games when Kelly Sutherland is reffing and I don’t rly like blaming the refs but 10 missed calls is just ridiculous that type of bs can’t be happening

I've watched your videos for a majority of the season. As an Oilers fan that watches mostly all our regular season games, it was cool to see the ins and outs of another team and I love the way you break it down. I was worried my opinion on this channel would flip during this series based on takes. Just want to say you've done a great job with the way you talk about controversy and miscalls/misplays that honestly had great impact on the final score. Looking forward to the rest of the series and your continued coverage, thank you NuckHead!

It's just Kelly Sutherland, guy's been a problem for decades. It's like knowing Angel Hernandez is going to call the game in baseball.

There needs to be a campaign to change NHL reffing. Get a third one in a booth. I refuse to let missed calls like this go un-punished in any match of the NHL.

My complaint is not with the missed calls, its the fact that the calls against Edmonton that were missed were dangerous plays. The slew foot on hughes and the boarding on Pettersson in particular

My issue with your breakdown of the penalties is that the missed calls aren't the same in magnitude. The double minor would have been on Mcdavid, that means 4 minutes without Mcdavid on the ice, which is big considering he played 28 minutes. Also Bieksa made the interesting point that before the final goal mcdavid sat for a few shifts so he was fresh, which allowed him to have tons of speed up the ice and compressed our D, allowing Bouchard to get his shot through. Assuming Mcdavid is going to get his TOI pretty much regardless of what happens, those 4 minutes means that he needs to play more shifts after the penalty to make up for sitting that long. Furthermore, spearing where contact is made is a major. A major penalty almost certainly changes the complexity of the game, especially considering our PP looked pretty good and skinner has looked very shaky. And while the oilers (Mcdavid) are dangerous SH it also probably means that for 5 minutes, they don't really get to attack. The refs missed tons of calls on both sides, but the opportunity cost of our missed calls was much greater than theirs. I generally think you need to just play according to how the refs are calling it, but the lack of accountability is really frustrating. It's perplexing that the NHL refuses to have a 5th ref watching the game in real time and communicating with the on ice refs to make sure egregious calls aren't missed. Anyway, my takeaways from that game are generally positive. Silovs was good, peter scored, and they only looked dangerous when Mcd and Drai were on the ice. We were never going to sweep them and so far we are 2-3 at home and 3-0 on the road, so I don't feel bad about losing home ice. Coconuts glow

Thanks for getting this out so quickly!

I think it's the types of penalties that should have been paid but weren't. Some of those 50/50 ones, fine, but a whack and cut to the face and slewfoot to not be called is just like "wtf". That said we looked lethargic after the 2nd and got dominated. Oilers deserved the win.

Win in 5. We got this! Coconuts glow

my biggest frustration from the game was Kane’s slewfoot. Not because the canucks would’ve gotten a PP, but because mcdavid scored less than 2 minutes after it happened. If the oilers were on the PK i doubt mcdavid would’ve gotten a breakaway like that. also the act of the slewfoot is the scumiest thing a player can do. there is no tactical advantage, you can’t mistakenly do it, you do it to try hurt people and that’s bullshit.

Unfortunately, Ian Cole is literally on the hook for 3 goals against in 2 games against the oilers, where a bad penalty, a bad giveaway, and a terrible deflection all resulted in goals

I’m an oilers fan love how unbiased you are bro

the second i saw the spear from derek ryan i knew u were gonna mention the spear to the hog😭

2:42 I LOVE how happy Lindy was for Petey

McDavid put that stick in Hues face on purpose. you can see the , look, the flex of the stick and the smile afterwards. Retribution should be swift and ten fold for McDick. Intent to injure! The only one who is to blame here is McDick.

Nuckhead is life I’ve been waiting all day for this video😅(oh ya and BTW happy mothers DAY TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE)

I think one thing that wasn't mentioned was the fact that the refs could have called it after the fact - when the refs noticed that hughes was bleeding. Instead of reviewing the play, they kicked one of our best players off the ice. Also funny that the betting odds for the game changed after the refs for the game were announced. Unlucky tbh

One thing you missed is that a couple missed calls could arguably be 5 - spearing is automatically 5, boarding could have been 5 and probably should be, that was an extremely dangerous play with petey going head first into the boards, slew foot could have been 5 but probably shouldn't be

Not thrilled that Soucy is getting a hearing for his cross check on McDavid (and Zadorov fined), but McDavid doesn’t even get fined for what looks like an intentional slash to the face on Hughes. Spicy wasn’t intentionally going for the face, McDavid was

"If ya ain't bitchin' 'bout the officiating, you ain't a real fan"

Quality vid as always. I was at the game and omg the building exploded on that zadorav goal. Unreal game, series is getting heated. Love it

First playoff game I’ve been to, probably some of the most fun I’ve ever had. Going to be such an awesome series

i'm so happy you included that clip from the Bono cover LOL. Canucks don't suck... No, the canucks fuckin rule!

The reffing was terrible but it wasnt why we lost the game

Your analysis is spot on. Fair and balanced not echo chamber bias. KEEP IT UP!

Canucks fans 🤝 Oilers fans “What were the refs looking at?”

When someone who likes to scream ’Niiils biiiiiiiiig hoooooog hooooglander’ is saying not to blame the refs, then you know people are grasping.

NUKCHEAD WILL WIN BEST KZfaqR OF THE YEAR!!

Another banger of a video! LOVE IT!! 👍❤️

Shit happens in hockey. If refs were able to make every single call of every incident on the ice, the 2008 playoffs would just about be ready to commence round three. Admittedly, I was pissed at the high stick to Hughes and thought it deserving of a five minute major or even a game misconduct as it did draw blood, but I got over it, Hughes got over it, and we came back and won game three. The scrum at the end of game three, however, was also a much smaller issue than it has turned out to be. Soucy and McDavid spoke immediately after and they were both cool, Connor accepted his apology, and both understand that shit happens. I chirp about missed calls, too, everybody does, but at the end of the day we all have to realize that every team, and every player are all equally guilty of cheap shots, and that very single game is riddled with cheap shots. In closing: I'm psyched that at least one Canadian team will make it to round three. Go Canucks Go, and Go Canada Go!

Respect for the honest breakdown of both sides. Refreshing to have someone who analyzes a team unbiasedly. As a flames fan that can’t stand the oilers and wants the canucks to win. It was annoying hearing all about the mcdavid high stick. I think the point u made with the off ice refs watching would be brilliant. Keep up the great vids

The issue I have is not with the quantity of the calls missed, but with the severity of the missed call. Out of those 5 missed calls, 3 of them were worth more than 2 minutes. One was a guaranteed 4 minutes, one was a boarding call which I think was probably only 2 minutes but had the potential of being 5, and one was a guaranteed slew foot worth 5 minutes. The Canucks missed out on 15 minutes of pp time to the oilers 10.

That Oilers Hitman List. 🤣🤣🤣

Great vid as always 👍

Anytime you see a player get cut on player to player contact and the close ref is not sure or did not see the high stick, all four officials will confab. Did not happen with Hughs and you have to ask why??????

I’m not gonna blame the refs for us losing, but I am gonna blame the refs for making the game worse overall. It’s so frustrating watching how many missed calls there are every game knowing full well that the outcome of the game would be completely different if the refs just did their jobs properly. I know the Oilers are insanely deadly on their pp and they would have most definitely beat us even worse if all the penalties were called, but honestly I care more about the integrity of the game than us winning.

Great analysis.

Great video. Respect.

As much as I hate the missed calls it is a PLAYOFF game. That is just how the playoffs roll and if your team just crumbles and falls like we did game 2 then it was never meant to be. I learned that back in 2011 against the Bruins when they just beat us down to just take the cup away. I was complaining about the calls more to protect our boys out there but in the end the Oilers played a hard consistent game that overpowered us as the game progressed. Game 3 baby lets go!

"It Takes a Team of Officials: The crew size varies from 18 to 20 Off-Ice Officials in each NHL city. This crew keeps track of all of the Stats; from Time on Ice (TOI), to how many shifts a particular skater is on the ice, and everything in between." "The average Crew consists of: 2 Goal Judges, 1 Game Time-Keeper, 1 Penalty Time-Keeper, 2 Penalty Box Attendants, 1 Commercial (T.V./Radio) Coordinator, 1 Official Scorer, 5 Scoring Staffers, 1 Video Replay Judge, and 1 Spotter. The crew in Columbus' Nationwide Arena numbers 19 total, with 13 working on any given night."

I love you Nuckhead for this positivity ❤ we win twice on the road ! 1-3 tonight

My biggest problem with the missed calls is the severity, Canucks are getting beat up all game and the oilers are missing out on some pretty minor stuff that happens often. I’m not thinking about the game but the series, our boys aren’t gonna be able to play without injury it seems

Ian Cole to the oilers confirmed

It’s gonna be a great series regardless of officiating. Canucks fan but I love both teams and am just pleased to see the boys in the playoffs getting that experience.

Thank you so much for covering this as a logical, unbiased hockey fan 👍👍 The main issue I have is that double minor high stick penalties are reviewable, and with Hughes gushing blood from his face, the refs did nothing. That irks me.

Normally I agree with you, but I think you've got this one wrong. Sure the potential penalties are 5-5, but the severity of calls don't add up. McDavid, being who he is, knows exactly where his stick is. Motive, means, opportunity. Intent to injure. The spearing on Hoglander. Straight up a classless, dirty move, no matter who you play for. Slewfoot on Hughes, as he's going into the boards. Again, a dirty and classless move. Finally, boarding on Petterson. That's a call all day long, head first into the boards, which has been the cause of some serious injuries. Followed up by the elbow. Yes, there were missed calls both ways, but the types of calls, or non-calls to be awarded clearly shows a nervous Oilers team resorting to dirty, antagonizing, and classless plays to win their game.

BIG W TONIGHT LETS GOOOO

Nobody is blaming the referees everyone is just agreeing they are all horrendous at their job collectively.

Dude I NEED to know what the song is that you use for your videos. Want it when I go to sleep, when I wake up, shower, go for a run, laugh, cry, everything. Amazing video as always!

it wasnt our greatest game but the nucks can bounce back easily. THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD!!!!!!! also LFG nuckhead uploaded

The call that they missed when Hughes got high sticked and he was bleeding

like i said before in some other comments, we need at LEAST one more Ref on the ice if not two. the game is just too fast these days for three refs alone

Tough game but we will get it back. LETS GO CANUCKS!!!

i love you keep making videos please!!!!!!!!

I was sad about the loss but felt better knowing a nuckhead video was on the way!

I think that a new rule or policy should be that if a player is bleeding and they claim it’s a high stick, that should be reviewable. I don’t think it should be any time players think there was a penalty (because yah, that would slow the game down a TON), but when someone is bleeding, it’s obvious something happened and that should be allowed to be reviewed. Wouldn’t take long either.

As a leafs fan, I'm hoping the Nucks go to the finals and potentially win the Cup! Go Canucks Go and Go Leafs Go!

Can’t wait for your next video…no I mean I really can’t wait, so here goes; Ok, so Carson Sousy gets a game misconduct for cross checking McDavid, but McDavid gets nothing for drawing blood. Hmmmm.

As long as Sutherland doesn't officiate im fine. Sutherland can magically 100% make sure the #Canucks come out on the short end.

The playoffs are a great time of year. There are always three games going on at the same time. The one the home fans watch: the one the visitors fans watch: the one that hockey fans watch.

There are refs monitoring the game off ice. The only reason Quinn’s wasn’t called even though the ref did see it was it was McSatan who did it

Dude..!!! This series going to be a WAR..!!! Ha-ha-ha...!! I'm a a Loyal Kings fan...but I love hockey in general...so YOU BET ,..I have been watching this series & the others, too. Oh,..one more thing......I HATE THE OILERS..!!!!

Even if we lose, the Canucks are still GOOD

THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD THEY WILL WIN TODAY❤❤

There’s no rigging happening, but there’s definitely some real bad luck for the Canucks this game. Also consider that the delayed penalty on which Petey’s stick broke was only blown dead because Edmonton’s sixth man took possession meaning that should’ve become a 5on3. The slewfoot should’ve been 5 and a game for sure; he lifted his skate off the ice in a deliberate kick. Definitely not claiming the refs were against us, but I don’t think it’s crazy to say that we were less lucky than the Oilers in that game

The issue ive got with the mcdavid high stick is he knew what he was doing, he intentionally high sticks Hughes with intent to high stick, yet theres no punitive action against mcdingleberry from DPOS

Any blood or significant injury should be automatically reviewed.

The only one i really have a problem with is the one high stick since they didnt even talk to eachother. I dont even care if they make the call but to not even check is crazy and makes me think they just didnt want to make the call in the first place.

Nurse Darnell 💀

I was waiting the whole day after the game, I checked my notifications every 15 minutes, just waiting for the video

Bad Daddy Zaddy is the post season MVP so far

I'm not blaming them. I'm just calling them inconsistent. They certainly do not seem to follow the rulebook.

Out of curiosity, what are you planning on doing content wise in the offseason?

So far, this year’s playoffs have had the worst refereeing that I can remember. There have been controversies in the past but the inconsistency is inexcusable. Call it, don’t call it, whatever … just be consistent.

If the Referee's called the intent to injure penalties against the Oilers. It would be a safer league to play in.

I don't blame refs for wins and losses, but I do blame them for making the game hard to watch and more frustrating. What really gets me upset is that they will call very little thing that impedes offense but not not every dangerous play that could cause injury. This isn't specific to a single ref, its league wide and they really need to find a better way.

I love you man.

MCDAVID SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A 4 MIN MAJOR HIGH STICK PENALTY

Banana kuzmenko won’t save us

THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD BUT… Cole has made 4 mistakes in 2 games that have lead to goals

You missed that Soucy's stick was held after his hit. So when McDevid took possession, play should've been stopped. Both teams scored on missed calls (but the rule 74 (too many men on the ice) says "may be assessed" and the rule 54 (holding) says "shall be accessed" so too many men on the ice might not be missed but judged not to be a penalty because it was during a clear by the other team) :)

I love your content but I'm an oilers fan. Keep up the great work 🛢 Ian Cole player of the Game. May the better team win! 🔥

Team nuckhead 👇

Refs just decided to put there whistles away for 90% of the game lol

If we are trading no calls for no calls, it’s actually in our favour, since their power play is far better then ours. We actually want refs that don’t call stuff even if we lose out on more power plays than the oilers do. Edit: I wrote this comment after watching 2 minutes and you came to the same conclusion lol.

Not blaming the refs for the Canucks not winning the game but I do criticize them for not doing their job, a big part of that is player protection and penalizing those who take liberties. If they can't do that then just make it like Rollerball-no penalties no time limit. Go Canucks Go!

Yaa you cant blame Mcdavid for Hughes skating into his stick and then too start bleeding on top

That Kane sloooey on Hughes hurts to watch, the way his skate hits the boards makes me cringe

AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THE RANGERS PENELTY AT THE END? Only reason they lost.

Questionable ‘science’

We will win tonight 💪 💯

It wasn't smoke that rolled into Edmonton last Saturday... It was SHADE FROM BIG Z!

6:42 shouldn’t have it been a call for both players, embellishment and crosscheck?

Canucks had some calls that should have went their way but when zadorov scored we had 6 on ice, and Edmonton outplayed us

You know how when a new Marvel movie, or really any franchise type of movie comes out, everyone thinks they know the plot, how the story will play out, but when it doesn't turn out exactly the way they envisioned it they get angry, "This movie sucks!", they start acting paranoid thinking there's a conspiracy out to ruin their lives and blame everyone but themselves for the movie not being what they expected? It's the same thing with sports, particularly with fanbases that only follow their home teams and don't care about the league or sport as a whole, the team is an extension of their ego or self image, "We won", "We played hard", they attach themselves to a team and envision them being unbeatable, when they lose they go through the same "Why is everyone against ME!?" paranoid, finger pointing, conspiracies etc., they take whatever happens to their team personally, they can't handle failure or rejection very well, it's always someone else's fault. If anyone in the league, players, coaches, GMs etc. thought that a referee was biased they file a grievance with the head office and investigate the claims, a committee is formed and they do a full review of every game that particular ref has called. You know why no refs are being called out and fired as biased by the league? Because it's not happening, the only people seeing it are the people who's teams lost, and the occasional, "We won even though the refs were trying to stop us" Always with the "we", there is no "we", fans are JAFOs.

Playoff Zadorov nah more like Wayne Gretzky, but seriously, how does this guy become so good in the playoffs?

I know there were several missed calls all game, but to me by far the high stick by McDavid would’ve changed the game the most I believe, that’s why I say refs changed the game in my opinion

Canucks getting the W

The oilers drive and get away with it way to much.

​​@nuckingaround you should tell everyone about zadorov he got fined 5,000 for cross checking Mc David the baby after game 3 it was Mc David's fault he slapped one of vancovers players at the end of the game just because he lost so Zadorov had the right to cross check him
