On the Wings

The NHL has pared down it’s officiating crew for the next round, selecting 12 referees and 12 linesmen to continue. Among those released was fan favorite Mick McGeough. Can’t say I’m too hearbroken about that one, though I thought he actually did a decent job in game 1 vs Calgary. Meanwhile, somehow Bill Mcreary (you may remember him from game 3) managed to slip through. How did that happen? Maybe the NHL just decided not to take the Wings-Calgary series into account for the decision… Anyway, here’s the list in case you want to check if your favorite refs will be on hand for the coming games.
