Paul Maurice Absolutely Loses it Over Controversial Playoff Call
There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the officiating since the playoffs started.
Yesterday, during Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Golden Knights and the Panthers, a clip of Paul Maurice, Florida's head coach, went viral after an outburst following one of the worst calls of the playoffs.
Bad Call by the Refs
With only 11 seconds left to the third period, after Matthew Tkachuk tied the game, Gustav Forsling got a tripping penalty after Chandler Stephenson fell on Forsling's skate.

Paul Maurice Loses It
When the period ended, Maurice got up on his bench and screamed at the referees:

Let's hope the refs will do better for the rest of the Finals.
