NHL officials are costing the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid

1. The holding never was called a penalty according to the penalty summary of the game. Garland only received a 2 minute roughing penalty the same as the other players who did nothing.

2. The low skill Canucks have to cheat to win.🎉

3. The back referee at centre ice should have seen what was going on for sure lol

4. Its so frustrating because I feel like the Oilers are being punished because of their proficiency on the power play. If the refs call all the penalties that should be called, they fear they're deciding the game but they're seemingly oblivious to the fact that by not calling anything they're deciding the game.

   I also really hope that this doesn't become a thing where teams just go over to him and outright tackle him. I hope/expect someone to beat the hell out of Garland to remind him that though there may not have been a penalty on the play, he can't get away with that. If the Oilers don't have him pay for that, other teams will do the same tactic.

5. Get use to it … Refs don't call anything during Playoff Time .. That happens on every game and Team ,,,

6. But Wes has a lot of games that get out of control, I personally think he enjoys it! Everyone on the ice gets a penalty, yup I thought that was lazy as well!

7. Pay $200 to go to a game and the NHL uses beer league officials. It's like going to rock concert and the light show isn't working. Getting ripped off paying that much for games and even the cost of watching games on TV is going up.

8. What are the consequences to the referees? NHL is a joke

9. oilers fans are delusional blaming everything on the refs

10. There should be a fine for ref's for not watching the game or some kind of disciplinary action. I agree with you guys this time. I know i never do but you guys are good about this . Keep up the good work.

11. As well, at 1:03 Garland cross checks McDavid as McDavid cross checks McDavid. Both heads are forced backwards, and both men then fall to the ice. It is clear, when slowed down. And the close up views show it better. Both should get the same suspension.

12. Garland better stay home Thursday!

13. European youth coach here: Embellishment in European Soccer is horrible, one of the reasons is why I prefer watching NHL.

    Connor and Myers both getting 3 game suspension each is a joke. Garland even goes without suspension?
    – Connor got held for 13sec straight, facing possible injury to his shoulder/elbow and is cross checked as well.
    – Meyers, provoking with a late hit, a harder slash, cross checks Bouch right across the teeth without warning AFTER Bouch puts out is mouth protection.
    – Garland is holding, pushing, drawing….McDavid for 13 sec straight, is alomst dislocating his shoulder (watch Mo Salahs shoulder in soccer), cross checks, but goes without hearing and without suspension?

    Suspension should be:
    longest period for Myers, then Garland, then McDavid
    Like: 5 games, 3 games, 1-2 games

14. Anyone who sports bets on hockey is an absolute fool, you might as well be betting on WWE! Refs must have had money on the line through proxies, the odds with legalized gambling are just WAY TOO tantalizing. It's completely destroyed NHL and any accountability.

15. Oilers need to have a Semenko or McSorley type player to make sure their star players don’t get pushed around like they are right now. Need more toughness

16. 3 game suspension. Don’t protect the stars, and suspend them multiple games too. Great look NHL…… total f’ng garbage league.

17. The Reffing is a fing joke the past 2 season, the refs should have have the same type of herring and fines and suspension layed out , DOP is shit dumb assess in charge and same with the video judges in TO

18. Ray Charles has been inducted to the NHL Referees Hall of Fame! We know these NHL refs will join him someday!

19. He needs to get a few games suspension not the only time he has done that lately

20. They gave Davo 3 games wow

21. This is how league handed Florida the SC last season

22. Jake Debrusk will be traded tomorrow by Vancouver 🙂

23. Little Garls held down Big Connor with the strength of 3 full grown men

24. Haha how did I know there would be so much bias coming from an Oilers YouTube channel. McDavid being babied by the refs is a joke. If you don’t think the refs let McDavid get away with a lot while also calling penalties against the other team then you’re nothing but homers with blinders on. He also chicken winged Johansson with an intentional elbow and put him on IR.

25. Holding down Mcdavid this long with no call????..Wes should not be allowed to officiate in the future.ridiculous.
