There's been times fans have either joked or lashed out claiming the NHL is rigged but you hope that's not the case. However there's news of accusations against the National Hockey League accusing them of rigging games including game 5 of the Calgary Flames vs Edmonton Oilers to help Connor Mcdavid and Oilers advance.
Recently "Deadspin" published an article with the headline "Is the NHL now rigging games for Connor McDavid?" which is followed by a subhead that reads "After last night's Oilers win, it sure seems that way."
According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, it was this replay in particular that sold the kick to NHL officials. Seravalli acknowledges "that there's plenty of debate to be had about the call, and that has certainly been the case judging by the fallout surrounding Game 5."
