The issue I have is that the calls that are black and white like offside are rarely totally blown. Even when it’s an incorrect call in the moment, like it was there, it’s not like the incorrect call was a devastating error. So I am not sure the review truly adds much to the integrity of the game.
The calls that are much more often missed are the subjective (interference, hooking, slashing, etc). The are also the ones that are not called in the last few minutes of the game. The variable threshold of these calls almost negates any possibility of introducing a review process. However, these are the types of calls that really plagues the league. By no means do I want to introduce a review process for each of these subjective calls. But I think it shouldn’t be CRAZY to think that a review process could be implemented and reasonable.

The problems come when the odd egregious mistakes give rise to unduly onerous responses. Linesmen blew a couple calls resulting in important goals and so the league overreacted. Now I wonder if the linesmen blow fewer offsides because they figure if a goal happens someone will challenge. Same for high stick goals and GI.
