Canucks fans are furious at referees for favoritism towards McDavid

The Oilers managed to win the second game against the Canucks last night in Vancouver to tie the series at 1. Strong performances from Edmonton's big guns (Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid both scoring four points), helped them win in overtime. However, they got additional help that they shouldn't have; the referees were obviously on the Oilers' side.

A particular incident shows that the refs wanted the Oilers to win and wanted to help them tie the series.

At some point in the game, McDavid landed a high stick on Quinn Hughes and cut the Canucks' captain in the face. There was even blood, meaning McDavid should've been sent to the penalty box for four minutes.

Here's how it went down:
