Controversy with the official in Stanley Cup playoffs

Kozari was caught on a hot mic showing favoritism for the Florida Panthers during the Eastern Conference Finals. The incident has intensified the suspicions that the Panthers have been receiving preferential treatment against the New York Rangers.

Concerns about the officiating first appear during the second-round series against the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins. Some fans and analysts felt that the referees were preferring the Panthers during the series. The suspicions were a bit confirmed when a clip from the Panthers against the New York Rangers was posted on social media. In this clip you can hear Kozari comments confirmed that the Panthers were being favored by the NHL and the official during games.

The fan reaction to this clip has been really frustrating and many of them believe that the integrity of the game is in danger if the NHL let this goes on.
