Panthers beat Bruins, NHL screws Bruins again

on

Toronto says no goal on obvious goal, on March 24, 2016. Watch the game recap video here.



Video from the NHL stating that the video review was inconclusive in determining whether the puck completely crossed the Florida goal line. Therefore the referee's call on the ice stands - no goal Boston.
You would have thought that bringing in coach's challenges, more camera angles and replays would help the NHL but there have been lots of baffling calls this season, along with tons of bad reffing (not just in Bruins games, this goes league-wide). So many bad calls that it has made fans shake their head and now it's also making players shake their heads in amazement. Just watch the videos on the left side.

I can't wait for the NHL to screw a team in the playoffs with one of these calls (and it'll probably be Boston if they even make the playoffs this year). With this loss, the Bruins have lost 5 straight games and the Flyers and Red Wings are looking to move past them in the standings.
