Let’s Go To The Tape - Nope
KK Hockey —
from TSN, While the league can’t be happy with its officials blowing calls, the opinion is mixed to whether the replay rules should be expanded.
“If you wanted a perfect game where everything was perfect - the officiating, offence, defence, goaltending, we’d roll back the tape on every play like we do on every game and we wouldn’t have any goals at all,” Walkom told TSN.
And in a quick poll conducted by TSN with 10 NHL general managers asking if video replay should be considered, all of them gave a flat-out no.

Let's Not Go to the Video Tape

So what is Chad Kilger's end-game exactly? He's been suspended by the Panthers for not showing up from Toronto. I'm kind of curious why Florida even wants him to show up. I thought they'd just pretend they weren't expecting him.
Also, Mike Harrington has a funny take on the too-many-men on the ice call that wasn't called against Buffalo Tuesday night. He says, and Lindy Ruff agrees no doubt, to get over it, and that things often don't get called that should. Obviously, Buffalo has heard this refrain before. Still yet, it brings up the idea of video replay in the NHL.
To be honest, I'd much rather have a few blow ...
Thursday Roundup/Caps 3, Sabres 1
Japers' Rink —
Bad news up front: David Steckel broke his finger and is out for 2-3 weeks (Vogs on Stecks: Steckel entered Wednesday’s game with a face-off win pct. of 56.3, seventh best in the league among those centers with 600 or more draws taken on the season. The Caps will miss Steckel’s prowess in the circle, and also his knack for penalty killing. Steckel averages 3:46 per contest in shorthanded ice time, fourth among all NHL forwards.) Now would be a good time for Chris Clark to get healthy. Fast. The Caps have outscored their opponents 24-9 in their last six games. I know Sabres fans aren't going to complain about the no call on ...
Part of Puck Luck

... March 06, 2008 Part of Puck Luck The TSN panel discussed the brouhaha over a couple of blown calls that led to critical goals this week. The pundits - correctly in my view - rejected the idea of expanding video review to reduce the possibility of this type of error. (In one case, Buffalo scored the winning goal with too many men on the ice. In another San Jose scored after the puck bounced out of play and back in.) The officiating in hockey is far more difficult than the officiating in any other sport and there are many blown calls. It is significantly worse today because of ...
