Going as far as to fine coaches and teams substantial amounts of money for any criticism of his officiating.
With the Stanley Cup Finals set to start June 3rd, the league has made their choices for which officials will work the Cup Finals public. The list includes the officiating duo of Wes McCauley and Dan O'Rourke, two officials who have been heavily criticized this season.
