There is too much riding on the outcome of these games to review for 10 minutes and come back with a call of inconclusive. I was at the game and was immediately getting messages from friends watching on tv saying "It's a goal!" soon pictures and videos were circulating through our section and row showing that it was pretty conclusive and indeed a goal. Apparently all of the analysts and sportscasters said "It's a goal". Yet a donkey or two sitting in Toronto who are tasked with making decisions in these situations after seeing all of the same evidence come back and say inconclusive and try to add some element of doubt as to camera angles etc. It's ridiculous. Just one more thing the NHL needs to get serious about before losing credibility. Really, who cold dispute the call (besides Eric Francis)had they said "Good goal."
