Keefe talked about it for the first time since the playoffs started, and here's what he revealed:
"Officials don't have any impact on the game, and it's not my focus," said Keefe when asked about McCauley. "Wes has treated me like a true professional the whole time that I've been in this league, and I've been very appreciative of that."
McCauley will work tonight for the third game between the Leafs and the Panthers. It's safe to say that thousands of people will judge him on every decision he makes, but that's life as a referee in the NHL.
