The captain of the Montreal Canadiens, Nick Suzuki, just experienced a rather special moment in his first period at the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Everything seemed set for a moment of offensive magic between Nick Suzuki and Nathan MacKinnon.<\/p>\n

Number 10 had orchestrated a superb play to set up the Avalanche star, who scored a tremendous goal\u2026<\/p>\n

But the officials\u2019 whistle cut the euphoria short. Instead of a first goal for his team, Suzuki was sent off for tripping.<\/p>\n

Nick Suzuki didn\u2019t move and it was the opponent who tripped over his stick<\/p>\n

Did the referees misjudge the play?<\/p>\n

The video replay added fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n

A new camera angle shows without a shadow of a doubt that the contact was completely accidental.<\/p>\n

There was no intent from Suzuki, who was simply trying to create offense.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, seeing a penalty called on such an innocent play is extremely frustrating, especially in a tournament of this magnitude.<\/p>\n

The controversy erupted instantly on social media.<\/p>\n

Several observers believe the referees should have let play continue, considering the accidental nature of the contact.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a painful decision, as it takes away an important goal for Canada.<\/p>\n

Nick Suzuki is learning the hard way that international officiating lets nothing slide, no matter how minor it may seem.<\/p>\n
