“Robbed!”: Lil Wayne rips NHL after no-call cost Golden Knights in dramatic OT loss against the Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers secured a thrilling 5-4 overtime victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series Thursday night—but it’s not the win that has fans and celebrities talking. A controversial no-call involving Viktor Arvidsson and Brayden McNabb just moments before the game-winning goal has ignited outrage on social media, including from Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne.Late in overtime, Viktor Arvidsson appeared to trip Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb, who crashed dangerously into the boards and had to exit the game.Despite the apparent infraction, referees let play continue—just 17 seconds later, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl executed a perfect two-on-one, with Draisaitl netting the game-winner at 15:20 of OT.The no-call enraged Golden Knights fans, and even Lil Wayne voiced his frustration. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he posted, “Knights just got robbed,” summing up the sentiment shared by many watching the dramatic finish.Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy didn’t hold back in his postgame comments, directly criticizing the officiating team. “Gord (Dwyer) is looking right at it. He blew it, he missed the call,” Cassidy said bluntly. “It’s a can opener trip, it’s a dangerous play, it’s all those things, but it didn’t get called so you gotta keep playing.”Cassidy also emphasized McNabb’s value to the team both on and off the ice: “McNabb is one of our guys… one of the popular teammates in our room, so that is tough part of playing through.”The Oilers had jumped out to a 4-2 lead early in the third period, with goals from Zach Hyman and Evander Kane. But Vegas clawed back, with goals from Olofsson and Pietrangelo forcing overtime. Despite the controversial ending, Edmonton now holds momentum heading into Game 3 at Rogers Place on Saturday.Also Read: Donald Trump sparks online stir by mistakenly calling Russian NHL star Canadian in awkward moment with Canada’s Prime MinisterWith tensions flaring and tempers rising, all eyes will be on the officiating crew next game—and the Oilers-Knights rivalry just got a lot more personal.
