Just when the Leafs fans thought they had something to cheer about in Game 7, referee Eric Furlatt waived off captain John Tavares' second period goal.

Not only was the goal waived off, but the Leafs were hit with the double whammy when Furlatt called Leafs defenseman Justin Holl for interference on the play as well, putting the Leafs on the penalty kill.


Honestly, I've been playing and watching hockey my entire life. I've never in my life seen that sort of a call come down for interference in the playoffs. I don't know about you, but it's starting to feel like the fix is in.
