Senators Analyst Calls Out Major NHL Bias After Team is Fined $25,000 by the League

It was one of the more shocking scenes that fans can ever remember seeing during an NHL game, much less the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In Game 3 of their series, Montreal Canadiens forward Josh Anderson and Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson were so tied up with one another that their confrontation spilled over onto the Washington team bench as a lineman who was tangled up in the ruckus was dragged along for the ride while trying badly to separate them.

Not only that, but Wilson was soon plastered all over social media for his mock crying gesture toward the Habs.

Both teams received warnings from the NHL to knock off those type of shenanigans for yesterday's Game 4, but neither received any kind of monetary punishment.

Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins was fined $2,083.33 for an incident of 'unsportsmanlike conduct' before Game 3 of The Battle of Ontario after he shot a puck toward former teammate and current Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz during the pre-game skate.

The Senators organization was also fined $25,000.

That didn't sit right with Senators analyst Bruce Garrioch, who called out what he feels is a potential bias on the part of the NHL toward Ottawa.

The Senators avoided elimination by the Maple Leafs with their overtime win in Game 4, and will now attempt to make life even more uncomfortable for their divisional foes by winning tomorrow's Game 5 in Toronto.
