NHL Goaltender Gets Caught Cheating on Video - And Should be Punished
The red hot Toronto Maple Leafs faced off against the Minnesota Wild last night on Friday, and the Leafs pulled through with a huge 5-3 win, but videos have appeared online and it seems as if someone on the Leafs cheated multiple times throughout the game.
Throughout the game Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray allegedly knocked the net off it's baring's not once, not twice, but three times.
It was not a mistake as well, every time the net was knocked off it was during his opponents offensive possession when they had a scoring chance.
Scratch the part where it stated he ''allegedly'' knocked it off on purpose, because video proof confirms he did and it's not even believable.
The Minnesota Wild's fan base erupted on twitter and social media exposing Matt Murray for these cheating tactics.
If you are not aware, it is obviously not allowed in hockey and should earn the goaltender a ''delay of game'' penalty, if not, a penalty shot at most times, but refs did not catch it in the moment.
The Minnesota Wild head coach addressed it after the game:
''You can't knock the net off three times and not get anything out of it. It doesn't make any sense it doesn't make any sense how a goaltender could knock it off three times and there's no repercussion.''
The Wild endured a tough one-goal loss, that one goal could of very well came on one of three opportunities where goaltender Matt Murray purposely knocked his net out of the crease, or the Wild could have scored a few on the penalties that should have been given for Murray's actions.
