Kahn on PBE Hockey Prompt
The video review can disrupt the flow of the game. That’s a fair and valid criticism. But, I don’t like the idea of games being decided by missed calls from the refs and linesmen. They’re not perfect, and we don’t really expect them to be (or at least most of us realize they’re human). So, I think it’s necessary to have some sort of video review to make sure we are getting these things called correctly. I am okay with reviewing most stuff, goaltender interference, offsides, whether the puck crossed the line or not. So I support these uses. I don’t think we should rely just on human judgement. I think too much is at stake for these games to be decided by human error. It might slow the game down a little bit, but it isn’t adding a half hour on the game or anything crazy like that. It’s a few minutes to make sure the game goes the way it’s actually playing out. (165 words)
