Seriously, how stupid are these morons in Toronto

Yeah, and they could have said goal. But for us to be all fired up blaming the game on that when 1. we didn't see the puck fully across the goal line. And 2. we missed great chance after great chance and lost 1-0 makes me laugh.

 

Need to figure out a way with technology like they do with a golf ball that picks up the puck almost like a homing device which I believe is available that will show the location of the puck at any given time. That being said I was surprised that they don't have a camera on sides of the net which would pick it up. I think the best shot they had was the side angle that the crowd went crazy when they saw it that showed the puck on the side of goalies pad with the pad going in and out of net like a cha cha dance with said puck doing the same. Bad call imo as usual by the 3 blind mice in toronto. Of all the major sports, hockey has the worst percentage of getting replay calls wrong which should be impossible and if they continue to suck like they do now they might as well not even bother. Just make the refs on the ice look even more inept if thats possible.

 

I think uneven officiating has a lot more to do with hockey's unpopularity than fighting, it's worse than wrestling.

 

If you can't use common sense to see that a puck went into the net and need indisputable proof, then what the hell do we even need morons in Toronto for? Just let the refs watch the replay and use that stupid philosophy.

 

They should use the refs. That's the change I would make.

Like I said last evening. I do think it was in. Logic tells me it was in. But by the letter of the law no one ever saw it fully over the goal line and in.

And BTW...give Niemi some credit there. He knew the deal. That is why he kept his pad where he did and dragged the puck out without moving his pad off the post. His hope was the puck could not been seen from any angle, and he was right. Very smart play.

 

Even bigger than who does the review, refs or Toronto, is getting better camera angles inside the net as Al mentioned. To truly get calls right you need to really be able to get in the net better. Now sometimes no matter what you have no shot due to the pads and bodies that can pile up, but the NHL needs to do better camera angle wise if they want to get these calls right for sure.

 

the overhead camera angle blows as usually the goalie is in the way, not to mention the net meshing.
the idea of camera under the ice like in poker and Nascar is interesting...
4 lipstick camers inside the corners of the posts and two in the back of the net would increase the probability of a good review...
