Leafs fans are calling the league out for favouritism as Sullivan didn't get the same punishment as Keefe for insulting the referees
Friday night was no fun for the Penguins who had a disappointing loss against New Jersey. The Pens had a 1-0 lead until mid-second period. The Devils scored their first of the night on the power play, and Sullivan had a few words to tell to the ref, and, not claiming to be any good at lip-reading, I can tell he was not telling the official how much he loves him:
This resulted in the Pens getting a minor penalty, first labeled as "abuse of officials", then changed to "unsportsmanlike conduct".
The thing is, Maple Leafs' head coach Sheldon Keefe got fined $25,000 last week for the same thing, and Leafs fans are not happy, calling the league out for bias since they didn't fine Sully.
