Mick McGeough got an early 49th birthday present today. The veteran NHL referee learned he is one of four refs selected to work the 2005-06 Stanley Cup final. For McGeough, who turns 49 June 20 and worked his first NHL game Jan. 19, 1989, it is his first trip to the final. He will be joined by Paul Devorski and Brad Watson, both of whom worked Game 7 of the Carolina-Buffalo Eastern Conference final series, as well as Bill McCreary.
