You want more goals? Don't let the PK ice it with impunity.

To take things a step further, I could get on board with penalties being a full 2 minutes, even if scored upon. But that's a different discussion

It's like you want the Oilers to win a cup. With the no-icing promoters here, the Oilers might've already had 3 or 4 cups by now.

Disagree wholeheartedly.

Not me, this would just encourage the diving Oilers to dive and dive some more.

I dont have a problem with challenges, but holy hell, get on with it!

Give the refs proper support and proper equipment to make the calls. If it takes more than 60 seconds and super slo-mo then just let the on-ice call stand and get on with it.

I can see taking an extra few minutes to review if a goal actually went in, but the amount of times we went to 3 minutes or so just to figure out if a skate was an inch or two off, seems a bit much. Especially if the "offside" happened a minute before the goal went in. I don't have much of a problem with replays, but just like baseball, when you're reviewing plays talking about an inch, I think it's too nitpicky. What's next - reviewing a hold that may have led to a goal? Some of this should be left to judgement within reason.

Problem with that is if you are going to let the offside that is an inch offside slide, then where do you draw the line? 1 inch? 2 inch? 3 inches is okay?

I don't want discretion in calls.

I don't want discretion in calls.

Replays should be in real time for offside review. If inconclusive, the goal stands.
