Oilers Fans Convinced Their Game Against the Leafs Was Fixed by the Referees
In a wild 7-4 game between the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs, the main point of contention was a confusing goal call.
Fixed Game?
The Leafs ultimately prevailed 7-4 against the Oilers, and some Oilers fans are directly blaming the refereeing. After a shot appeared to roll well past the goal line before popping back out five hole, it was ruled not a goal.
It's pretty easy to see the puck pass the goal line, but the officials have different angles that could rule otherwise.
This would have made it a 6-5 game with two minutes left in the third, which definitely would have been in reach for the offensively strong Oilers.
Fans can't help but think maybe there was some ref interference, as such a key goal was turned back.
