NHL Needs to Update Video Review System

NHL Needs to Update Video Review System

May 18th, 2015 If there's anything we can take away from the current edition of the NHL playoffs, it's that the league is starving for goals, guarantees don't mean a thing unless Mark Messier does it, and the video review system is broken and has been for an excruciatingly long time.

March 26th, 2015 Before rounding up the latest in ref-related news, there's one particular goal that needs a second look: Justin Abdelkader's game-winning overtime goal was illegal.
