'I'll Probably Get Fined': Tyler Bertuzzi Calls Out Referees For Controversial No-Goal Call
During their matchup with the Canucks on Friday, Tyler Bertuzzi scored the go ahead goal, but after it was waved off, he called out the officials in a big way.
The Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks were playing a tightly contested game on Friday night, and with the scores locked at 2-2, veteran forward Tyler Bertuzzi seemingly put his team ahead.
However, that turned out to not be the case, as the officials made the call of no goal on the ice before reviewing the call, with the no goal decision standing as a result of goaltender interference.
Tyler Bertuzzi Calls Out Officials
Fans on social media were clearly confused and shocked at the call, and after the game, Bertuzzi was asked about the decision, and he wasn't shy in making his disappointment with the officials known.
I won't comment because I'll probably get fined. I think it was not that great of a call.
Already this season, we've seen goals where a player pushes the goaltenders pads into the net be allowed, so it's easy to see now why players like Bertuzzi are frustrated when their goals result in a different call.
The Canucks would go on to win this game in a shootout 3-2, meaning that Bertuzzi's goal likely would have been the difference in one or two points for Chicago, and while the season is still young, this is the type of call that can change the course of the year for a team.
Ultimately, all the players and the fans want is consistency on these calls, but as of right now, they're simply not getting it, and after Bertuzzi called it out, we'll wait to see if the league has any response over his comments.
