The NHL continues sliding down the slippery slope of video review. It’s going to get messier and messier.
During his traditional Stanley Cup media conference, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman admitted the league is looking to expand its use of video review. To the chagrin of thousands of fed-up hockey fans, Bettman said there’s no going back on video, that the NHL won’t be reducing its time-consuming reviews for such trivial things as disputed offsides.
Instead, the NHL wants to fix a system that has allowed myriad mistakes this postseason, from an uncalled (illegal) hand pass, to a puck bouncing out of bounds before ending up in a goal, to a messed-up major penalty that sparked a seventh-game victory for the San Jose Sharks.
Just like every sport that uses video review, the NHL wants to “get it right.” After all these years we now know that video review does not get things right. All it does is slow down the action, ruin the spontaneity of all sports and makes true fans wonder why video continues ruining the games.
