All I ask for is less game management and more consistency of calls within the game. If a one handed slash is a slash in period one, it should be in period three also. Next game, if the same slash is not a penalty in period one, then it shouldn't be in period three either.
I'm OK with inconsistency from game to game, but I'd like to see more consistency within games.

The solution, to my mind, is to give off ice and video officials more control over the game. I think it’s ridiculous that the on-ice officials are the ones who review the lion’s share of their own calls. It should be the same group in Toronto for every game. In a game like last night’s the video officials should be able to call in and overturn the high-stick goal.
The game is so fast that the on-ice officials will continue to miss calls—often in baffling fashion. There should be no shame in that, but moreover, this acknowledgement should also open the possibility for video officials to correct those errors without impunity.
