Officials Announced for Game Four in Tampa Bay
After questionable officiating choices in the series between the Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning, the NHL appears to have gotten things right tonight.
Skilliter and Rooney in Stripes
While the officiating controversy regarding Wes McCauley is far from over, Leafs fans can be relieved that he won't be touching this crucial Game 4 matchup.
After an incredibly clutch game three, where Ryan O'Reilly tied things up with moments remaining, and Morgan Rielly scored the OT winner from the faceoff dot, the Leafs now have the ability to gain a 3-1 series lead over the Lightning.
With Andrei Vasilevskiy looking human lately, this could be massive.
Tonight's referees will be Graham Skilliter and Chris Rooney, and the Leafs have gone a combined 3-2 with these officials.
Hopefully we will see some solid officiating tonight!
