Not gonna lie, this is fairly comical. No one does it like us.
On the right occurred in the Utah game. Not enough spatial resolution.
On the left occurred tonight against Vegas.

Technically I think the one against Vegas actually stopped. I think the one vs Utah was in but the camera sucked and the frame wasn’t timed well.

Can the NHL not get better quality net cams?

That would increase the budget by like $2,000 you think Gary is made of money?
They can, the replay on the game in calgary was actually pretty clear, the one in utah was literally full potato idek how thats allowed.

More like a game of millimeters rather than inches.

They could literally put chips in pucks. But hey hundred of dollars would put the league down

They have chips in pucks. How do you think they measure the shot velocities?

Its 2025. There is zero reason for there not to be sensors in pucks. That would solve this issue and the puck in a goalies glove issue. For the amount the NHL yammers about increasing scoring, they sure nitpick getting there.

If you zoom in, Pic 1 is obviously not a goal.
And Pic 2 is not obviously a goal (i.e., no definitive evidence to overturn a ‘no goal’ call)
Tough break for CGY though.

There is actually a very good reason having to do with the shape of the puck.
For a sphere like a soccer ball or tennis ball, it is sufficient to know where the centre of the ball is to entirely determine where the edges are. They don't even need a chip, they just need enough cameras to triangulate.
For a puck, you need three independent measurements to define the edges of the puck. So three chips spread out within the puck all precisely having their location sensed.
And because a small uncertainty in position would lead to such a large error in angle, I don't think such a measurement would be any more precise than a camera.

They could have 20 sensors in the puck spaced out evenly and all connected to one chip in the center. Fact of the matter is they just dont want too. If the NHL really wanted to solve this issue it would of been years ago.

How the f*** are Tostitos gonna solve anything?
..although if we brand it right.. “Gary, I solved it! I figured out a way to make more money! Chips in pucks, put the Tostitos logo on top- dip into your savings to place your next bet- so many options, Gary.”

And then we would start admiring the way the pucks just come apart after a heavy shot is taken, or from it hitting the boards at high speed.

I believe the simplest theory was to put sensors in the goal line, posts, crossbar and puck. That would allow you to project three dimensionally where the puck is at any given time. There was multiple proposals at one point but the NHL was never interested.
