Referees: First Finals for O'Rourke (9) who has made a steady move to the top over the last few years.
It is clear that O'Halloran (13), Walkom (24) and Sutherland (11) are now considered the top three refs in the game with McCreary gone. Rank them? - maybe O'Halloran first, Walkom second now that he's back on the ice, and Sutherland third. It's O'Halloran's and Walkom's fourth finals and last two in a row. Sutherland's second, also consecutive.
Linesmen: 6th straight Finals for Morin (97), 4th straight for Racicot (65), and third straight for Miller (89). Sharrers (57) has been to the Finals numerous times and returns after a two-year absence.
In short, they've got the best.
