Leafs fans weren't too happy about Wes McCauley officiating the first game of their first round playoff series matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Leafs fans have suspected bias from referee Wes McCauley when he referees their games and it's all because of coach Sheldon Keefe.
Keefe testified against McCauley's brother-in-law David Frost in alleged abuse trial in 2008.
After many complaints about McCauley officiating, the NHL has announced new referees for Game 2, but it certainly puts the Leafs at a disadvantage.
Inserting referee Eric Furlatt doesn't make Leafs fans any happier, as there is also suspected bias against the Leafs.
Furlatt made a controversial call when he called Justin Holl for a penalty, waiving off John Tavares' game 7 goal against the Lightning in last year's playoffs.
Game 2 of the series begin at 7:00 PM tonight.
