Duhatschek: Making the cut, on the official's side Add to ...

For anyone who monitors the zebra watch, or thinks that officials have too much of a say in the outcome of NHL playoff games, here are the eight referees chosen to work the Stanley Cup semi-finals, alongside their games of playoff experience: Bill McCreary (262); Paul Devorski (144); Brad Watson (88); Kevin Pollock (78); Dan O'Halloran (57); Marc Joannette (49); Kelly Sutherland (28); Mike Hasenfratz (24). On the lines, you'll have Brian Murphy (173); Brad Lazarowich (162); Jean Morin (131); Jay Sharrers (111); Shane Heyer (94); Pierre Racicot (80); Derek Amell (47); Steve Miller (30). Among the refs that did a good job in these playoffs, but didn't move on was Tim Peel, who called the penalty against the San Jose Sharks' Brian Campbell in quadruple overtime which led to Brenden Morrow's series-clinching goal. Peel was also the refereee who athletically climbed up on top of the net in the Sharks-Calgary Flames series to get a clearer view of the puck in a goalmouth scramble - and to see that it hadn't actually crossed the goal line.
