Yet another case of letting the love of your favourite team cloud your judgement. A new report by the Toronto Star states a league source has let them know that threats were directed at the family of an NHL referee during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Kevin McGran writes that it happened to Wes McCauley's family following game 3 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning. That was when Michael Bunting was given a game misconduct and eventually suspended for three games after an illegal check to the head of Erik Cernak.
Passionate hockey fans are what make the game great. But, there are always a few that can't seem to figure out where passion ends and something more sinister begins. It will be interesting to see if the non-stop debate about McCauley continues after game 3
