The NHL HQ goalie interference reviews have been so inconsistent, no one seems to know exactly what interference is.. its like spinning a roulette wheel.. teams can't challenge without a real risk of getting a minor..
If the NHL is going to be so inconsistent with goalie interference judgements, then there shouldn't be a penalty for losing a challenge. Instead, teams should get a challenge without risk of a 2 minute minor, a lost challenge should just be the loss of the challenge.. JMHO

Wasn't that the case when challenges first came in? You should get at least 1 if not 2 freebies without risk of a penalty. If you win the challenge, you don't lose your freebies. If you lose, you lose the freebie, and if you're out of freebies, then you get a penalty.

Your first lost challenge should lose your timeout. 2nd lost challenge delay of game.

Sure, that would work. I've heard about the worry about the time it takes, but 1) they used to take excessively long amount of time to review a limited number of angles and 2) they do seem to have gotten a lot quicker about it, so non issue for me as a fan.

Honestly, I expect we were screwed anyhow. If they had won that it wasn't goalie interference, they still need to win that it's in before the whistle goes. I don't believe it was. Thankfully that wasn't the deciding goal.

I think they did.. but teams were using it as faint hopes on goals against.. primarily for off-sides.. which started to bog down the games.. then they put a price on it for being wrong.. a minor.. but they lumped in goaltender interference as well, which isn't logical.. one directly affects a goal.. the other.. sometimes an inch offside.. usually doesn't.. so in that case a penalty for a wrong challenge is fair.. but goaltender interference is different.. it can be the direct cause of a goal..

I like it being a risky decision. It punishes teams that don’t have good systems and people working behind the scenes. It’s the NHL, nothing should be easy.
No chance that goal was counting. Once the ref thinks about blowing it dead, she dead. The ref buggered up. Thats incompetence, not conspiracy.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Not conspiracy, bias.

its the same thing.
No one cares enough about Edmonton or the Oilers to be against us. We watch a bottom tier hockey club that no one thinks about except to laugh at.

I could see the occasional ref having an issue with the Oilers or with superstars in general. I could even see some refs being dirty and getting paid to help push certain outcomes for gamblers.
I don't think it's a keep-the-Oilers down conspiracy though, and I think you're right - it's a combination of incompetent officiating coupled with stupid unclear direction from the league. They basically have instructed their officials not to call a certain amount of penalties - so how the refs decide where that line actually is is extremely difficult to understand. With two refs on the ice, potentially with different standards in mind, it is even harder to figure out what is and isn't a penalty in the NHL.
I will say, Game 7 of the playoffs tends to be when the NHL instructs their guys to call the absolute least, so expect some level of frustration tonight.
