The Boston Bruins Are Now Trending After Awful Officiating in Last Nights Stanley Cup Finals Game
The Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights series in the NHL playoffs currently stands at 2-1 in favor of the Golden Knights.
In a thrilling overtime victory, the Panthers secured a 3-2 win. However, as is often the case in NHL games, controversial penalties were called, and unsurprisingly, they seemed to favor the Vegas Golden Knights, leading many to question the league's bias towards them as a money-making team, supposedly favored by Commissioner Gary Bettman.
One particular incident causing a stir on Twitter occurred in the third period when the game was tied with just 12 seconds remaining.
A Golden Knights player appeared to jump while attempting to cut through the middle of the ice, resulting in a questionable tripping call against the Panthers.
This penalty call has gone viral, reigniting memories of past incidents, such as the St. Louis Blues' Tyler Bozak getting away with a blatant trip on the Boston Bruins' Noel Acciari in the 2019 playoffs.
The contrasting calls highlight a lack of consistency in officiating, leaving fans and analysts frustrated by the perceived bias in crucial playoff games.
