St. Laurent looks like a bundle of joy.. yikes At least they aren't USA homers.. not that changes how bad the NHL refs have been in general Francois St. Laurent #8 Greenfield Park, QC Kendrick Nicholson #30 Milverton, ON Probably still pissed about that one coach who benched him in peewee and put him on the path to being an overpaid beer leaguer.

You're pretty close..

From Wiki..

Quote:

Personal life St-Laurent was a goaltender in his youth, spending the late stages of his playing career on the bench as the backup.[103] He has been based in the Raleigh, North Carolina area since 2010, upon his promotion to the full-time officiating roster.[104]

Also this pair were the two that had the Game 1 of the Montreal / Caps series.. which turned into a gong show of refereeing ineptitude.. so of course they don't get demoted.. just shuffled.

I suspect a new low in NHL refereeing incompetence is on its way..
