The Toronto Maple Leafs tied up their series against the Bruins last night, but some fans are unhappy with the referees' decisions. Brad Marchand drew a slashing penalty on Tyler Bertuzzi after appearing to exaggerate the play, fooling the officials. Despite calls for action, the NHL has not addressed the incident.

During a scrum in the Leafs' zone, players from both teams were already heading to the penalty box, but the back official also penalized Tyler Bertuzzi for slashing Brad Marchand. While Bertuzzi may have made contact with Marchand's leg, many believe Marchand exaggerated the impact, akin to a soccer player after a tackle.

I really hope Brad Marchand survives this treacherous slash.
Praying for him 🙏
