New Evidence Released in Goal Controversy in Toronto
The Maple Leafs made many mistakes in the first playoff matchup against Tampa Bay.
It's not an excuse, but even the referees didn't give them many chances.
During the five-minute penalty of Michael Bunting for his dangerous hit on Erik Cernak, the Bolts scored a questionable goal.
When the refs reviewed the play, no camera angle truly showed the puck crossing the line. But the goal was allowed nonetheless.
