I don’t understand all this need to address this stuff. You don’t need to make rules / policies to completely protect against the most remote scenarios.

Having to grab some random to actually play significant minutes happens so infrequently and it happening like this in a meaningful playoff run game hasn’t happened in so long that I can’t even think of the last time it happened. We don’t need to change anything because once every 20 years some team in a playoff rub or game might get a lucky break.

That kind of thinking is why we have to endure painful offside challenges now and turn back goals all the time that were meaningless amounts offside with 0 impact on the play because once in the last 50 years a linesman blew an offside call super badly in a playoff game so they decided to invent a bunch of crappy new rules because of it.
