GDT: Canes @ Canucks: What is stronger, MinJaBen's GDT curse or the Nuck's losing streak?

I mostly agree with this take.

The one place I disagree: the penalty for missing a challenge is way too harsh, and I feel like it's not there to speed up games, but to protect the fragile egos of the refs.

Give each coach one free challenge. If they're right, they keep it. If they're wrong,, they lose their free challenge. Every subsequent failed challenge is a penalty.

If that fairer system slows the game down substantially, then it's because your refs are shit and you need to fix them.

I like the idea of a 30sec (could be 1 min) max review. After that, if the play stands as called, no penalty since they could not confirm the call on the ice. If they confirm the call on the ice then you get the penalty.

I'd be fine with that too. There are many ways to solve this problem that don't suck.

Yes. Especially those offsides where it's like 2 inches and they spend 4 minutes on it.

Yeah I completely agree I think they should treat it like the NFL with stands/confirmed. I'm not sure if they already do or not, in the NFL there is no practical difference since you're not penalized for losing a challenge other than just not getting to challenge again but that happens regardless of whether it stands or is confirmed.

Stands = Not enough evidence to definitively overturn the call on the ice, no penalty.

Confirmed = Enough evidence to definitively say that the call on the ice was the right call, penalty.
