Bettman Accused of Rigging the Stanley Cup Finals

There has been a lot of criticism directed towards the officiating during the playoffs. In yesterday's game, the third one between the Golden Knights and the Panthers, two incidents occurred where the referees' decisions cast a shadow over the match.

Interestingly, we have seen many similar cross-checks throughout the playoffs, but this particular incident was singled out.

These events have led to claims of game rigging by the NHL. Some people believe that a win for the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup would benefit everyone involved financially, considering the team's large fan base in Vegas.

In contrast, Florida's market does not have the same level of attention or financial influence.

If NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman, acknowledges these concerns and takes steps to address them, he could avoid further criticism. However, at the moment, the complaints continue to accumulate.
