Very recently, the NHL finally responded to the controversy involving Wes McCauley and Sheldon Keefe. In fact, the former will not officiate the game 2 between the Leafs and the Lightning tonight.
It's worth noting that McCauley and Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe have a strained relationship. A few years ago, Keefe testified against McCauley's brother-in-law in a hearing that involved serious charges. Additionally, Keefe was fined for yelling at McCauley, who was the referee in that incident.
However, McCauley was replaced for tonight's game, which thrilled Toronto Maple Leafs fans. It remains to be seen how tonight's game will go. Stay tuned!
