This was probably always going to come to a head eventually the way McDavid was going with the leg kicks and stuff.

100% this.
I am sure the officials are under constant evaluation and their mistakes are pointed out to them. They have fallen for McDavid's shenanigans so many times that they have to be getting tired of be made to look like fools over and over.
