The Florida Panthers Have Raised Serious Allegations of Collusion Against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the League After Last Night's Loss

Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs won in a shootout against the Florida Panthers in one of the most unique sequences of events in the NHL.

During the shootout last night, the Florida Panthers thought they had secured a victory after Evan Rodrigues appeared to have slid one past Joseph Woll's pad and into the net. Both teams assumed that the game was over, and many immediately headed to the dressing room.

The goal, however, was later reviewed and determined to be touched after it hig Woll's pad by Rodrigues before being put into the net. The goal was overturned, and players, including Woll, had to quickly return to the ice.

Of course, after Noah Gregor immediately roofed the next shootout attempt and Dyland Couzins missed, the Panthers players and coaches were audibly upset with the turn of events. They could be heard levelling some accusations against Toronto and the war room.

Head Coach Paul Maurice led the charge in the bashing of the Officials, as you can see in this clip after Gregor Scored and Couzins missed. The bashing continued after the game during Maurice's interview.

While this was obviously the right call, as seen in the slow-motion replay, it is clear that the Panthers are upset with how everything went down, and they believe the refs should have had it right from the jump instead of thinking it was a goal right away.
