Firstly, you realise there's two teams playing right?
And you realise that Boston's history with Brothers is also pretty bad? He doesn't fukk with us either.
Superseding? You're talking like the refs huddle up and discuss every whistle. His whistle is every bit as valid as Brothers and Foster.
This stat is from last year but it shows what I'm talking about...
Boston in the playoffs from 2015-2022:
With Tony Brothers: 2-10
Without Tony Brothers: 41-32
Considering they've been one of the best teams in the league in that time it's a little fishy to have such a losing record with one ref, huh?
