I have no problem with reviews in sports. We have the tech to utilize so may as well use it. I do have a problem with how the reviews come about in the NHL. In the MLB you have 15 seconds to make a choice. In the NFL you have to throw the challenge flag before the next snap. Apparently in the NHL you can call everyone you like down to the bench, bring the refs over, and have a conference about whether to challenge or not. May as well kick your feet up and offer the refs a cup of coffee while you're at it. Absolutely bogus. And then the icing on the cake is have the league call in after the benches cleared and the fans were packing up asking for a challenge. Like what the actual hell NHL?!?
