Canucks Fans Infuriated with Referees After They Refuse to Protect Defenseman Tyler Myers

As the Vancouver Canucks are fighting of their playoff lives in search of the final wildcard spot in the western Conference, the remaining handful of games have never been more important, which resonated clearly in their shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

Heading into the third period, the Canucks looked to sailing smooth to another win that were to keep their slim chances of making the playoffs alive.

But, in Canucks fashion they crumbled in the third period, allowing 5 goals and eventually losing 7-6 in the shoutout.

Cleary a lot of things went wrong for Vancouver if you are to give up a 4-0 lead, but fans have taken to social media to blame the referees for some awful calls and the lack of the accountability.

First and foremost, they are enraged with a dirty play by the Blue Jackets who committed a clear illegit hit from behind on Tyler Myers that was gone uncalled,

The second play led to the game tying goal where goalie Kevin Lankinen was clearly interfered with right Infront of the official and it was also not called.

There is an epidemic in the NHL with the lack of accountability by the refs and it needs to change, just like how players and coaches are held for their actions.
