Embarrassing officiating from Chris Lee and Dan O'Rourke continues in Game 4.

The National Hockey League has a real problem on its hands with referees Chris Lee and Dan O'Rourke who are currently in the process of embarrassing the league once again.

On Sunday night during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Semifinal between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens, Lee's officiating was once again nothing short of atrocious and now pundits and even the live NHL broadcast are starting to openly dunk on the terrible referee.

Here are just a few examples of what has gone on tonight:

None of these incidents cause Lee to pick up his whistle and blow it, and this has led to even more rough stuff going on through the game. At the end of the second period, Chris Lee was staring right at Brayden McNabb as he punch Nick Suzuki right in the face.

The ref is looking right at Brayden McNabb as he punches Nick Suzuki in the face, and he just shakes his head.

The reaction from pundits on social media has not been flattering for either Lee or the National Hockey League. Here are just a few examples:

Dan O'Rourke literally watching a Vegas player get his head cross-checked into the dasher and is like "yup, just let 'em play" Whether the NHL is willing to face it or not, they really do have an officiating problem https://t.co/yG3HasBZos

As you continue to watch this game tonight, remember that, bu virtue of the fact they're still working in these playoffs, Chris Lee and Dan O'Rourke are currently considered among the best referees in the NHL. It's astounding, actually.

Lost control. Embarassing.

Not saying it for Montreal or for Vegas.

But just lost control of it. They're just punching away at each other when hockey is being played and he's just staring at it.

Ridiculous.

Chris Lee with a front row seat to Brayden McNabb punching Nick Suzuki in the face. Nothing.

I don't see how the NHL can continue trotting these two guys out. IT IS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

The reality is that the health of the players on both sides of the ice should be a priority here, and I truly feel like these officials are putting both the Golden Knights and the Canadiens in unnecessary danger.
