My bad.
The radio guys were pretty vocal about the call, particularly because there wasn't a minor called on the play. (Powers never saw a BC penalty that he agreed with) The stripes went to the replay and then called a major. Pretty unusal and it was hair on fire hockey for the last 4 minutes. It seems that 5 minutes majors are much more common this year, on us and against us. Is it this a point of emphasis this year?
I’m ok with reviewing anything that is worthy of a 5 minute major. Assuming they watch the replay and get it right (which assumes a ton in this league).Quite frankly, I’ve always been astonished with majors that were called a few seasons ago that weren’t even remotely close to a major. You’re kicking a guy out of a game and giving a team a straight up advantage of 5 minutes, you better be 100% sure of what you’re doing. But we were seeing a lot of “I think I saw” a major. This helps everyone get it right.
