Bill McCreary calling it a career?

Bill McCreary is officiating his final game ever tonight (unless he pulls a Favre/Chelios). 14 or 15 Stanley Cups, Olympic Gold Medal Games, and over 1500 games officiated. Of course, not every call he made was good/correct, and over the years, he's gained some recognition/fame for his calls. To honor the end of his career, here are a couple questions:

1) How will you remember McCreary?

2) What would you consider his defining call?

3) On a scale of 1-100, how would you rate him as a ref?

    the diverse calls are borderline. Or over that line. i think of that subconsciously, he's compensating for the Avery hit on Paetsch, maximum efficient to Jagr's purpose. It grew to become right into a criminal hit and each little thing, (and Paetsch is advantageous, he grew to become into enjoying later interior the era), in spite of if it appeared undesirable, and the Rangers scored while Paetsch grew to become into down. So... provide some greater advantageous calls in the direction of buffalo, even issues up somewhat. Subconsciously, of direction. at the same time as i could desire to work out the calls made greater gently, i could desire to work out much less referred to as in this interest many times... I hate the consistent whistles and PP/PK circumstances. EDIT: it is a suited occasion of what i'm speaking approximately. Dawes is hooked no call. Peters punches Orr FROM THE BENCH and it is nevertheless even potential. Ugh. however... the Rangers are enjoying between the worst video games i've got seen at the instant. they only seem to no longer care, they do no longer seem to be skating no longer undemanding or getting possibilities. they do no longer possibly deserve this interest (however Buffalo isn't enjoying that properly the two)
