It would only be interesting if the stat showed the calls he made. I looked into this a few years ago because people were claiming refs from BC were favoring the Canucks and what I found was it wasn't true. Sutherland was the ref that "favored" them the most but not by much. That could have changed (maybe he was mad they blew a 2-0 lead in the SFC) but I doubt it means much in the big picture.
I don't really care enough to look it up but the true test would how many penalties he called, not how many were called in a game because there is another guy on the ice making calls.
