The annoying thing about being able to go back to any time where it was in the zone, is that as soon as the refs missed that call, then basically the Flames can no longer score unless they let the leafs clear the zone.
If these hand pass calls are so important, then the refs should be doing a better job of seeing them and calling them. They have two refs on the ice, so at least at least one of them should always have his eyes on the puck. Do they see these, but decide it wasn't enough of an advantage to blow down, but if a goal is scored, then yes its bad?
Why are these subtle hand passes so important to get correct? What about all the tripping, holding and interference that are often missed that lead to goals?
