But to me, nothing is more lame than watching a football game and then going through 10 minutes of replays every quarter and having to listen to the announcers go "see what they're looking at right now is if both feet were in bounds while he catches the ball... Well in this angle it looks as though it's a good catch Johnny, but boy this will be a tough one to make." Makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
Can you imagine having to go through that crap 3 times per period over a missed icing or offside call. Part of the excitement of the game is thinking you know better than the officials.

Again, talk from day one is that there will only be one allowed per game. With that and the single timeout each team gets, its a far cry from the 3 TO's and 2 Challenges that NFL coaches get in each HALF. Also not to mention the game of hockey moves a billion times faster than football in the first place.
I doubt people would notice much of a difference between icing calls and TV timeouts and their review of every goal in the playoffs anyways.
