The NHL is just not transparent and has no technology. So they can cheat.
Look at the review system in cricket (CRICKET! an ancient sport!)
First of all you can hear the entire conversation. NHL you can't.
The decision on the field is LBW (leg before wicket). The umpire has ruled that the batter blocked the ball from hitting the wickets (the three little sticks) with his leg. That's an out. The Indian batsman challenges
What to look for in a review
1. Does the bowler overstep the line. If not:
2. Does the batter gets any bat on the ball. If not:
3. Is the flight of the ball (using hawkeye) in a direct line and would it have hit the wickets? In this case 3 red lights means the call stands, 1 green light overturns the call.
In this case the bowler is requesting the review so again, needs 3 red lights.
See! It's the simple!
