Let's face it, the refs were atrocious during the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Vegas Golden Knights. Sunday night, at the Bell Center, the duo Chris Lee and Dan O'Rourke were back in place for a second consecutive game. They once again put on quite a show with their inconstancy and questionable decisions.
Since that game, many have asked that the two officials do not return to the current playoffs. A petition has even been created asking the NHL to fire Chris Lee. We remember that this denarius literally closed its eyes to the gesture of Brayden McNabb to Nick Suzuki, during the fourth game, while everything was taking place in front of him.
We now know who will be automatically for Game 5 of the series, which takes place this Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. Kelly Sutherland and Eric Furlatt will be the officials while Jonny Murray and David Brisebois will be the lines judges.
The NHL announced just before the start of the two semi-final series that Francis Charron, Gord Dwyer, Eric Furlatt, Chris Lee, Wes McCauley, Dan O'Rourke, Francois St. Laurent and Kelly Sutherland will be the officials for this round. , while the linesmen will be David Brisebois, Scott Cherrey, Michel Cormier, Ryan Gibbons, Kiel Murchison, Jonny Murray, Bryan Pancich and Andrew Smith.
You should know that Canadian sanitary measures play a big role in the choice of arbitrators. It would therefore not be surprising that Chris Lee and Dan O'Rourke return to their posts Thursday night at the Bell Center in Game 6 of the series ...
