I can live with a missed call. I was a ref for years, you arent going tom see everything but you can't make up calls or make a call on something you didnt see. The officials could have watched a replay before deciding on giving him a match penalty. Ive seen it done before.

Where did you here this?
And why is all the chatter on this hit in the wrong (Islanders) thread?

I asked the same question.. lol I think it's because Ice was so excited to post, he forgot to read any of the previous posts/realize he was in the wrong GDT.. :uh-huh:
Glad they got it right on the call.. I agree with Maaco, if they're allowed to review a replay before making that serious of a call, why not? Why isn't it mandatory to begin with? Game misconduct has to be on par (frequency) as goalie interference, offside/goals, etc.. The game is fast, on calls of that magnitude, use the damn technology and at least try to get it right on the ice..

The crowd was quite vocal about the call on Willy, there was even extra event staff at the doors when the zebras exited/entered the ice at the end of the 2nd/start of the 3rd. Something I've not seen at the arena downtown, ever. The fans at Capitals and Nationals games are some of politest fans I've encountered, it is very common to have the home fans applaud the visitors when a significant career achievement is made. I remember when Iginla was in town with 499 career goals, there were quit a few of us that wanted to see him get his 500th, and that kind of thing happens all the time at Nats games. I think the Caps fans are getting a tad frustrated with the appearance of this team getting shafted by the league.

A reporter asked Reirden if he wanted a replay system on calls like this. He tentatively agreed, but he said he thinks it would slow down the game too much. No doubt it would, but I think it may be worth it when a players career is on the line. The review team in Toronto would need to be increased as well, with truly independant minds involved, which is a large part of the problem to begin with

To me, this is no different than targeting in college football. Targeting [head-to-head contact] gets tou kicked out of the game. Before they do that, they review the tape to make sure they are right. Like hockey, college football can be a fast game and easy to miss shit. Why doesn’t the NhL, before removing a player from a game and automatically suspend them until a review, give them the same benefit of the doubt college football gives its players?
