Elias Pettersson victim of the most dubious penalty of these playoffs
The Canucks and the Oilers have been granted questionnable officiating since the second round series began, and tonight was another demonstration of it.
The Canucks were on the power play up until the moment when Elias Pettersson stood his ground to protect himself from Warren Fogeole who was coming in to complete his check. Fogeole caught the worst of it? Fell down and Pettersson was called for charging.
Without a surprise, the internet went wild, even some of the league's very best analysts have started calling out the officiating:
