I think that while it of course depends on the level of play, if the prestige of the league allows and even demands it then the more sensors and stuff they can pin on the players and gear to pinpoint these pretty clear cut infractions like offsides and also stuff like goal reviews, then it should be done, no question. As for the way it sometimes still takes so long to get an actual verdict from the referees watching the video replays, i think that as time goes on and they get more and more detailed feedback from the sensors and don’t have to rely so much purely on what it seen on the video replays, then it will start to go faster and the high level games will be better off for it for sure. Of course the old-school refereeing will still play a big part in lower level competitions as we can’t expect every league to be able to afford such sophisticated systems.

After 69 shots on net with still no SHL goals to show for it, even the opposition started to feel so sorry for Lemo, that they decided to help him out :D
- Bad pass by Jack Klompus, he gave it right to Lemo Pihl.
- Lemo Pihl rips it to the net...
- Lemo Pihl will find the empty net, that should do it!
