sweetlou Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 SO Toronto calls to Buffalo in Nashville game about first goal that even RJ with his bad eyes could see on the replay hit off the shaft of Smith's stick above the crossbar, and still allowed it. https://www.nhl.com/video/smith-scores-on-deflection/t-300138354/c-67419503 Two days later in Nashville they allow the goal to count even after whistle was blown. https://www.nhl.com/video/sissons-quick-wrister/t-300138454/c-67480103 But yet only two years ago same thing happened and they don't allow the goal. There needs to be more consistency in rules and make them black and white and leave no judgement calls. When plays go to review you can clearly see evidence of what happens and they still screw up calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 The NHL is about 20 years behind other leagues in terms of upgrading their officiating, minus the NFL I suppose. So expect the officiating to become palatable around 2040. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
