SHOCKING NEWS: Kings players have caused a stir on social media after they asked the NHL to void Game 4 of the playoffs and demand a rematch with the Oilers due to evidence that the Oilers coach paid $500,000 to hire notorious “Mafia” gangs to fix the game in advance. Full story below 👇
In an unprecedented twist to the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Los Angeles Kings have shaken the hockey world by formally requesting the NHL to void Game 4 of their series against the Edmonton Oilers, citing bombshell allegations of match-fixing involving organized crime.
According to reports circulating online, several Kings players have come forward with claims that Oilers head coach, Mark Jenson, allegedly paid $500,000 to hire a known “Mafia” gang with the intent to manipulate the outcome of Game 4 in Edmonton’s favor.
Social media exploded Wednesday night after what appeared to be leaked communications and suspicious betting patterns began trending on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). One anonymous source even claimed to possess video evidence of a shady meeting between Jenson and an alleged gang intermediary just days before the pivotal game.
Kings forward Alex Petrov posted cryptically on Instagram:
“You fight for months to get here, only to be played like pawns. We won’t stay silent.”
The NHL has yet to officially comment on the allegations, but insiders say a formal investigation may already be underway, as league security and legal teams scramble to assess the credibility of the evidence.
The Oilers, for their part, have denied all accusations, calling them “baseless” and “a desperate distraction.” Coach Jenson released a short statement:
“I’ve dedicated my life to hockey. These claims are outright lies. We will cooperate fully with any investigation.”
Fans are divided, with hashtags like #VoidGame4, #MafiaOnIce, and #NHLScandal2025 surging across platforms. Some demand justice; others accuse the Kings of conspiracy theatrics following a tough loss.
One thing is clear: the integrity of the playoffs now hangs in the balance—and the league may be facing one of its most explosive scandals in modern history.
