NHL being accused of rigging the finals in favour of the Florida Panthers
The NHL is currently taking a tongue-lashing from hockey faithful everywhere, as they have noticed a coincidence during the Stanley Cup Finals.
In the last 14 games the Panthers have played in the playoffs, they've had the same referee officiating, Dan O'Rourke.
In the last 14 games, they are 13-0-1 while O'Rourke is officiating, while the Oilers are 0-4 when he is on ice.
REF RECORDS: The Florida Panthers have gone 13-0-1 in their last 14 games under referee Dan O'Rourke, including playoffs. The Oilers are 0-4 this postseason when O'Rourke is working; the Panthers are 4-0
This could be coincidental, but the Panthers have a good team this season. They play hockey with intensity that not many teams including the New York Rangers couldn't hold steady against.
Fans of course, find this situation sketchy, as the Panthers are part of the US vanguard, Bettman has been pushing to grow hockey in the US, as Hockey Culture is normal in Canada.
