EPSN announcer accuses Rasmus Dahlin of cheating during Game 4 vs. Montreal!

The tension between the Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres has officially reached another level and now it seems the broadcast booth is getting pulled into the chaos too.

On Tuesday night during Game 4 of the heated second-round series in Montreal, Rasmus Dahlin was struck in the face by the stick of Alexandre Carrier, resulting in a high-sticking penalty. After Dahlin showed officials that his bottom lip was bleeding, the call was upgraded to a double minor.

But ESPN announcer Sean McDonough clearly was not buying it.

During the broadcast, McDonough openly questioned whether the cut was fresh at all, suggesting the wound may have already been there before the play. He even went a step further, implying Dahlin could have been trying to reopen the cut to draw blood and help secure the four-minute penalty.

Watch here:

The controversial moment quickly became even bigger after Buffalo capitalized on the power play, scoring the tying goal on a strange bounce that beat Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobes.

The Sabres eventually completed the comeback and took Game 4 by a 3-2 score, evening the series and adding even more fuel to what is rapidly becoming one of the nastiest matchups of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
