Didn't know where to post this but I just filtered through the Feb 28th game in Colorado and then decided to do some research.
Jon Mclsaac, the ref that called Gaudreau for embellishment when he got the stick blade in his freshly cut neck, and then gave him a 10 minute misconduct, and also gave Gulutzan a bench penalty for clapping
was NOT chosen to referee the playoffs, he is only listed as a stand-by ref.
Shocking.
