Rule 38.4 (viii) has been modified to allow broader discretion to Hockey Operations to assist the referees in determining the legitimacy of all potential goals (e.g., to ensure they are “good hockey goals”). The revised Rule will allow Hockey Operations to correct a broader array of situations where video review clearly establishes that a “goal” or “no goal” call on the ice has been made in error. The new expanded rule will also allow Hockey Operations to provide guidance to referees on goal and potential goal plays where the referee has blown his whistle (or intended to blow his whistle) after having lost sight of the puck.
The game is over dependant on the refs and the rules are getting sillier by the year ,, last night's goal was the result of a "bang bang” play in which the puck crossed the line during the scrum and the puck slides and gets tucked past the goal post and the goaltenders pad.
And here is where it gets silly ,,,,, depending on the ref, one ref sees the action as a hockey play while another sees it as a reason to blow the play dead.
it's not a concern unless it's a game deciding call ,,, and who watches 2-3 hours of hockey just to have the whole game decided by a referee ??
Last night I saw a hockey goal
