Wes McCauley out of officiating lineup for tonight's Leafs Bruins game
With the Leafs and the Bruins heading into game 7, Leaf fans are looking for every edge they might be able to find. That includes who is officiating, as they have had some bad relationships with Wes McCauley in the past.
Now, it has officially been determined that Wes McCauley will not be officiating game 7 tonight between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins.
CONFIRMED: Referee Wes McCauley will NOT be officiating tomorrow's Game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins. He's on standby in Nashville tonight. @NHLBruins @MapleLeafs
Toronto fans have some bad grudges against McCauley for some controversial calls and non-calls in the past, and rumours that he and Sheldon Keefe have a rocky personal relationship. Now, they won't be able to use this as an excuse!
Here is how Leaf fans reacted to the news.
The gods have shined upon us
Leaf fans will surely come up with excuses if they happen to lose tonight's game, however, they won't be able to use the officials, at least in this sense.
