How about young official Jon McIsaac going out of his way to show off to the vet Dan O’Halleran? He was probably shaking in excitement before the game to get the chance to show one of his idols what a good referee he is. That call on Gaudreau was absolutely pathetic and I’m sure Dan O’Halleran was embarrassed to even be on the ice while all that went on - and even worse, young McIsaac couldn’t figure out which players should be in the box so O’Halleran had to go over and help sort it out.

The youngster completely lost his composure trying to make an impression, costing the Flames their best player for the final 12 minutes of the game and will face no repercussion for doing so.

Edit: just noticed the linesmen were Greg Devorski and Shane Heyer. So 5,000 games between three of the officials and the youngster. No wonder he was trying everything he could to get noticed.
