Endless video replay has ruined sports.

Every goal reviewed to see if someone had a skate inconsequentially offside. Every time a player goes down by the boards a review to see if someone pushed him a little too roughly into the wall. Every time a player gets hit and milks it for all its worth by staying down on the ice long enough to draw a whistle a review to see if someone hit him in the head. Either get better referees or live with the occasional bad call. But quit with the replay every time it looks like MAYBE something happened that some craptastic ref missed.


Or have a dedicated replay official.

Reviews would be done in a quarter of the time as the official is reviewing before the on ice guys can even get to the boxes.


The conferences won't dedicate the resources for that

This is a sport that still pays its four on-ice officials a combined total of just $2170 for reffing a frozen four game.


Maybe take an orange band off the ice and into the booth?

Or ditch review.


Review isn’t worth it without camera views

One of JJ’s complaints was the lack of camera angles for the reviews (played a huge role in a clear offsides review last night). No point to have a dedicated review official of the rinks don’t have the camera angles.

Not many NCAA rinks have the NHL quality camera setup like Compton.

I wouldn’t be surprised if his complaining does at least get the other B10 teams to get more camera angles. There’s really no reason why opponents don’t have static cameras along the blue lines, overhead goal, inside goal, etc.
