A Controversial Whistle by Wes McCauley in Last Night's Game has Fans Calling the Finals Rgged
Once again, Wes McCauley finds himself at the center of attention for the wrong reasons. In yesterday's game, he made a decision that caused a lot of controversy.
During the crucial Game 4 of the Finals, Vegas won 3-2 against the Panthers.

Just as the Panthers were getting closer to scoring the tying goal that could have extended the game into overtime, Wes McCauley blew the whistle unexpectedly for no apparent reason.

It's becoming clear with each game that something is not right.
Last night's game reminded us that the NHL's officiating system needs to change. The number of mistakes being made is too high to ignore. It's disheartening to see Gary Bettman, the commissioner, ignoring this growing problem.
