Rod of refereeing.

[Harbingers]

I could see this with even one guy in the box and one linesmen on the ice to call offsides. That’s the only thing he’s really not accounting for. I think he’s suggesting the refs call offsides too.

i'm asssuming he means one ref and one linesman which makes sense while also advocating for replay review of penalties

He makes perfect sense and the league should listen.

My issue is plenty of stuff happens behind the ref/play, that’s what the second ref is for. If the bench refs could call too I wouldn’t have an issue.

i agree--i mean i don't agree with him in the sense that i think i'd keep all the refs--i can see dropping one linesman cause if you miss an offsides it'll be reviewed anyway. they should get rid of the being shorthanded sh if you get a review wrong cause goaltender interference is subjective as 'did he catch a football' and is ridiculous to cost you a goal if the refs stand by what was called. i do think some of the stuff should be plenty reviewable

It can’t hurt in trying it for a season. I could see the refs pushing back though. They like their little kingdoms, even when they get things wrong.

sure they do--and that's what's lacking--the accountability there. it gets exposed over and over again in the playoffs as so terribly subjective but also while they let tons of stuff go until they decide not to. then nothing changes, just like NFL. people love to talk about the chiefs/bengals trash reffing that weren't paying attention when the panthers got screwed out of browns/@ ATL because of the same
