If anyone is unfamiliar with the meaning of my handle you might like to read this.

For how many decades did we listen to hockey people bitch and moan about referees calling the situation rather than the game? Hudson Bay Rules came into effect in the last five minutes of any match and God help a ref that raised his arm above shoulder-height in overtime. Finally, and mercifully, that ended – for the most part – with the lost NHL season of 2004-05.

Walkom – so highly regarded at the time that he was temporarily removed from the ice and put in charge of the league’s officiating department – followed through on the decade-long edict Wednesday night. That’s all he did. He saw a blatant double-foul along the boards and blew his whistle. Called the game, not the situation. Anyone that believes he should have kept the whistle between his lips and watched play unfold in the Detroit end knows nothing about NHL rules, or the task of a trailing official.

Stephen did his job. Nothing more. Nothing less.
