If they want to keep reviews, I would make it so you can't zoom in to the play. Refs/linesmen can't zoom the play in when they make calls so if you can't tell what is happening without zooming it in, then it's too close to call.
I'd also limit the review time. The NHL tells everyone they have the best officials in the world and we need to trust their decisions. They are making the decisions in split seconds without the aid of multiple camera angles, without the ability to slow the play down to second by second and without zooming in. So asking us to trust the officials on the ice using the human factor but then when a review happens, using technology the officials don't get to use during game action makes no sense to me. The point of a review should be to get the missed calls that should have been blatantly obvious. You shouldn't need zoomed in views and slowed down images to see the blatantly obvious and it shouldn't take you 10 mins to see it.

That would be fine - tell the refs they can review it but only at game speed. No slow-motion, no super-zoom. If they miss by a fraction of a centimeter, oh well. Although the NHL would hate that because someone would score an important goal, and the tv network would blow it up and show that they were a fraction of a centimeter off-side and argue that shouldn't count.

The worst part about all of this is every review and reversed call only serves to undermine official authority. The second worst part is everyone questioning the 50/50 goalie interference and millimeter offside calls removes the focus from the ref decisions that destroy the game: The cowardly game management calls.

The best part is the offside challenges have brought Adam and RDF to an unexpected agreement. 2024 may be a year of miracles. Plan the parade!! TSN turning point.

I like that we're all taking the time to grow. It's kind of inspiring.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
