Evidence emerges of Bettman rigging game 7 between Bruins and Leafs
In a move that sparked outrage among Toronto Maple Leafs fans, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the league opted to assign referee Kelly Sutherland to last night's crucial game against the Boston Bruins, despite his history of bias against the Maple Leafs.
Did you know? The Bruins have emerged victorious over the Maple Leafs in Game 7s in both 2018 (7-4) and 2019 (5-1), with refs Wes McCauley and Kelly Sutherland officiating both games.
Let's just say, the comments are not too appropriate to publicly post..
Sutherland's presence in last night's Game 7 only added fuel to the fire for frustrated Maple Leafs fans, they are livid about this decision as their team lost was eliminated from the playoffs amidst controversial calls made by the referees.
The choice to assign Sutherland to such a critical game has left many questioning if the higher-ups in the NHL (Bettman and others) pick favorites.
