Hockey Prompt:
I feel like video review is a whole mixed bag in hockey. I can understand the desire not to let teams purposely slow down the game or to make games take a considerable extra amount of time. But I also feel that the current system is also flawed. Not being able to challenge due to a previous challenge or lack of timeouts feels wrong to me. Honestly I believe that when any penalty is called, the refs should be required to do video review and not on the small tablet currently used. I think with today's technology they should have a dedicated TV either behind the benches or in the penalty box where they can see multiple camera angles. It's not like we don't have full video teams with 10's of angles to look at the play. That way all penalties are reviewed and corrected if wrong. I also think the idea that an incorrect call by a ref should stand just to appease refs is dumb. Use the tools and technology available and accept that people can make a wrong call, but we can alter that in less than a minute with the information we seemingly withhold. I definitely do not want automated penalties because a single view of an action can miss details or have a bad view that causes a false flag. I think it should still be the refs calling it, just make review a standard practice. It's also not like the league is hurting for money. |
