One thing the NHL has gotten right -- and really set the template for with other leagues -- is the replay.

From the mandatory reviews,adidas Shea Weber jersey, to the coach's challenge, there's very little to quibble with. Goals count that ought to count. Goals don't count that ought not to count.,adidas Devan Dubnyk jersey, to the angles,adidas Jeff Carter jersey, to off-side

and how the game officials overturned a tying basket because in their mind the clock should have started -- what? One-10th of one second earlier -- and Terrence Ross couldn't possibly have made the shot if had started on time.,authentic Zach Parise jersey,Which brings us to the NBA. I don't quite understand in this modern day of technology how the Toronto Raptors didn't get to overtime

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. It's not like I believe the NBA or the officials are against the Canadian team. That's just a bad rule that was poorly executed. Strikes me the easiest and most sensible fix would have been to start the play over again. It was only 2.4 seconds.,authentic Ryan Suter jersey,Now

The NHL was really on the forefront of replay technology,adidas Ryan Suter jersey, with the other leagues consulting with the NHL,authentic Shea Weber jersey, then adapting replay for their own use., even sitting in with the Toronto replay headquarters to get a feel for how this things were done

On the NHL front,authentic Jeff Carter jersey, the only rule I quibble with are goals on the off-side that get called back. I haven't seen too many of them. I don't mind calling back an off-side goal scored within a few seconds of the illegal entry. But once the defending team has had time to get all five defenders in place -- say 10 seconds,adidas Zach Parise jersey, if you will.,authentic Devan Dubnyk jersey, which is a long time on skates -- perhaps the off-side should be forgiven.
