Tomorrow night at 8 PM EST, the Boston Bruins are set to face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs in what will be the first Game 7 of the 2024 NHL playoffs. As the teams prepare, a buzz has been circling around Leafs fans regarding the game's officiating lineup. Notably, Wes McCauley, a referee often discussed among the Leafs community, will not be on the ice.
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
McCauley is sidelined as the standby official for tonight's Game 6 clash between the Nashville Predators and Vancouver Canucks. NHL rules require a fifth official on standby during playoff games to step in should any on-ice official suffer an injury, preventing McCauley from joining tomorrow's critical matchup.
Leafs fans have taken to social media to express their relief at this news. There's a widely held perception that McCauley harbors a bias against their team, adding a layer of satisfaction for the fanbase who now see an even clearer path to victory. With the Leafs rallying from a 3-1 series deficit, the momentum seems to be tilting in their favor.
The gods have shined upon us
Good cuz otherwise he'd try to make the game about himself 🤷♂️
As both teams gear up for tomorrow's winner-takes-all game, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will the Leafs continue their impressive comeback, or will the Bruins halt their advance? Make sure to watch as the drama unfolds, deciding who moves forward and who goes home.
