NHL fans were livid at refs over what seemed like obvious no-call that burned the Bruins

The Boston Bruins lost Game 5, 2-1, of their first-round playoff series to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night and now must head back to Canada for Game 6 down 3-2 in the series.

Everyone watching the game – NHL goalies, analysts, fans with no rooting interest, and Bruins fans weren’t happy about a crucial no-call that didn’t go Boston’s way on the Leafs’ first goal of the game.

Toronto’s Zach Hyman appeared to bump into Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, who was in the crease, and then Auston Matthews was able to score a goal. Looked like textbook goalie interference.

The goal was reviewed and announcers on the broadcast all agreed that it should be goalie interference and believed that the call would be reversed.

Not a good night for the refs, though the Leafs did outplay the Bruins for most of the night.
