Many are calling Monday night's Rangers versus Flames matchup the game of the season.
It had everything from multiple comebacks, massive hits, fights, and of course, a controversial goal review.
Fans are now accusing the NHL of being ''rigged" as yet another questionable review by the Situation Room and referees.
It happened in the third period when New York was holding a 3-2 lead.
Andrew Mangiapane appeared to tie the game, but the Rangers immediately waived down officials for a kicking motion.
You be the judge:Here's another closer angle:
As you can imagine, fans at Madison Square Garden were more than furious with this call, as it tied the game late. (Calgary would also take a 4-3 lead shortly after).
Whether the league is rigged or not, it just starting to seem like nobody has definitive rules when it comes to kicking motions, or goaltender interference.
Below are just some of the reactions on social media:
