I hate reviews like this in general, but at least it's in favor for us

36 seconds between the entry and the goal, the Lightning had puck possession multiple times afterwards...pretty ridiculous.

Offside reviews should be that the refs get to watch the play once at full speed and if they can’t determine it based on that who gives a shit.

At least there is the penalty punishment now. We can thank Mike Sullivan for that after he challenged virtually every goal against in the 2017 cup run.

Horrible decision by Cooper. I heard he whispered to Ekholm "high blocker" right before the wind up. It was only until Nigel Kirwan radioed in and said challenge it. Make him the HC! #FireCooper

 

[Renopucker]

Totally agree. I go even further and say, Nigel notwithstanding, the offsides reviews are a matter of inches. I'm fine with the linesmen calling it, and that's it. Ticky tacky, IMO.

You Tampa fans are always very reasonable. I hate that type of review. I agree so hard with that.

Exactly. I'm glad you all are seeing the light. Cooper has lost his marbles. He's technically losing this game and we know he's already lost the room! What next? The keys to the city? How can this keep happening?

I'm okay with a 2 or 3 minute time limit.

Monday's 32 Thoughts podcast had a discussion about what the standard is. Is video review to correct glaring mistakes, or to get the call right?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good shift for the Bolts 4th line, and then an even better one by Edmonton's 4th. Forget Kuch vs McDavid, it's Glendening vs Perry

I heard he made Geekie submit a list of least contributing teammates which he proceeded to read aloud to the locker room before collecting cell phones.

 

[These Are The Days]

We look completely content to chase McDavid around all night. Just attack them man, the Oilers aren't exactly stout defensively

That's crazy. I bet he makes halpern sniff his fingers behind the paper when they talk. We need a true ball buster coach that can aggressively slap the players and scream with a loose tie to fire up this team! We should win the president's trophy with this team!

I think Raddysh has more strands of hair than IQ in the defensive zone at this point

I have a similar issue in soccer these days. Big soccer fan, and in recent years the sport has gone from offside being a judgment call, to having review where they have people in an off-site studio drawing lines to determine who's where, to now "semi-automated" 3D tech. It's all nonsense and constantly moving in the wrong direction. The spirit of the offside rule has been completely obliterated. Nobody ever asked for this degree of precision, this kind of stuff was never the problem in the first place, nobody would notice, nobody would appeal, it makes no impact on the play.

Completely agree with you. Offside review is fine, but it should be done in real time. If it's inconclusive, goal stands. Hockey or soccer.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

God damn McJesus

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

damn

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Woof

 

[These Are The Days]

Cool. Can we stop the f***ing chess match now and attack these guys?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

I f***ing hate McDavid & the Oilers

 

[ccman68]

we never pay any extra attention to star players. whether it’s corey perry or connor mcdavid on the ice we play the same way

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Lilleberg has had a good 1st period.

I think the issue is the tools that are being used. Look at the NFL, these guys can figure out if a toe is on the line or the ball is crossed just by the tip within a very reasonable amount of time. The League seems to refuse to make any process quicker. I honestly bet that the cameras they use on the line are probably 480p also. If there was a way to chip the puck without effecting the composition of the puck, and adding sensors on the goal line and blue lines, it would be a 10 second process. Basically all you have to check is the sensor went off before all the players crossed the blue line.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Probably better for my mental health to go to bed early if we’re gonna play like snails all night

 

[Stammertime91]

I've often wondered how I'd fair against McDavid on the ice. Seeing Girgensons put in a blender on transition confirmed I'd do so much worse.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

quiet period for the Point line

 

[Lightning1995]

quiet period for the Point line

Yeah they gotta get going
