During the third period between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens, a contentious referee decision stole the spotlight.

Oscar Steen's game tying goal off a point shot from Ian Mitchell was challenged by the Canadiens for goaltender interference.

Despite inconclusive evidence, the referees controversially overturned the goal, leaving the Bruins and their fans frustrated.

The incident reignited the ongoing debate about the NHL's video review protocols and the need for greater transparency in crucial game-altering decisions.

The controversial call, while disadvantaging the Bruins, adds to the league's challenges in striking a balance between fairness and maintaining the flow of the game.
