But I think we can agree last night should be fixed I'm not going to pretend to have all the answers but I think everything should be up for review but set a limit on number of passes/time and only allow a certain # of challenges. If you get your challenge right you don't lose it.The problem is that, unlike football and baseball, hockey is a constant motion sport. Why do I call that a problem? Well, because that leads to things like the offsides review problems, where a review about something that happened a while back can be imposed on the game. Well, if you, as a league, are going to argue that getting it right is so important that you'll undo something that happened 30 seconds prior because the replay shows a millimeter of separation between the puck and line once you go super slow mo with the film, you can't logically say "But we're going to not review things like hand passes and penalties. If you can basically erase chunks of the game for the good of the sport (or whatever nonsensical reason used to justify such stupidity), you've got no excuse for preventing replay from looking at anything that's blatantly obvious, and adjusting the game as needed.
Nope hand pass is blown dead. Period.
Aren’t you one of those that thinks there should be fewer reviews in sports?The review rules have turned these playoffs into a joke.
Sharks getting all the calls. This is the 3rd one that directly led to a win. Bruins are doomed if the make it.
The Saints situation isn't even comparable. But they didn't proceed to allow 4 TDs to the Rams afterwards.Nonsense
When you would win 'but for' something, you deserve to win (assuming the 'but for' is something that doesn't belong, of course). That you had other chances to win is not the same as you not deserving to win. The same is true for the Saints against the Rams. The Saints deserved to win that game. The fact that they could have won it after the horribly blown call cost them the win at an earlier time doesn't change that.

1: "I don't like reviews in sports"Aren’t you one of those that thinks there should be fewer reviews in sports?
I don’t know that there was an actual review. It seemed like just a gathering of the 4 refs/linesmen. I don’t remember anyone putting on the headset and watching it on a tablet, if that’s what’s being suggested, although maybe I simply missed it.What were officials reviewing last night anyways? If no one called a hand pass, there was nothing to review. Or did they just want to check to see how bad they effed up?

No they haven't, and that's a testament to them because they've had goals taken from them throughout the POs.the bruins haven't lost a game in the playoffs because of a call like the one tonight.
I haven't found verification yet, but I just heard a radio report saying the officiating crew that blew the St. Louis game has been pulled from rotation for the rest of the playoffs.
Hmmm. Well, they knew they missed the call on the hand-pass, but there was nothing they could do about it (same on the goal against the Bruins after the puck went into the netting). Seems like the NHL should pull itself from the rotation for the rest of the playoffs...I haven't found verification yet, but I just heard a radio report saying the officiating crew that blew the St. Louis game has been pulled from rotation for the rest of the playoffs.
