Edmonton Oilers insider Bob Stauffer criticized referee Kelly Sutherland's reaction during Darnell Nurse's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Monday night. The incident happened at 15:44 of the first period during the Oilers' 6-5 loss to the Florida Panthers. Nurse was first called for tripping Sam Reinhart in the neutral zone. After protesting the call, he received an extra two-minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
On "Oilers Now," Stauffer said Sutherland's reaction to Darnell Nurse's incident was "incredibly demonstrative" and unnecessary.
"It's a loser's lament to whine and b*tch about officiating," Stauffer said. "I did not like the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and the reaction of (referee) Kelly Sutherland on that play. He was incredibly demonstrative, making the (referee's action) for unsportsmanlike (conduct)."
