This reminds me of the 'toe in the crease' rule from a few years back. It was black and white but it was HORRIBLE for the sport. The coaches challenge on the off sides is the same way. Let the officials decide if they need to review the play and if not live with it.

Penalties get missed all the time in hockey. There is a certain amount of judgement you just have to live with.

Fellas, is Stamkos playing toinght or what?

I can't imagine he goes off thinners or the docs and whoever insures his contract allow him to, but theres chatter in the canadian media that he might... seems kinda crazy considering how serious clots can be.

Any hot takes from your sources?

Stamkos and Bishop both out

So you believe it is more difficult for a linesman to determine (using the vertical axis) if a player crossed before the puck vs the current rules making lineman have to determine if a player's skate was on the ice before he crossed the blue line vs when the puck does?

Absolutely do. When it has to be on the ice, its right next to the line. If there is white between the puck/skate they are beyond the line, that call can be made from the neutral zone, on the line and even within the zone depending on certain angles.

In the air, the linesman has to be right on the line itself and unobstructed, otherwise the change of angle will alter their call
