A useful idiot.
Okay, so the Canucks' goal last night is just one in a number of goals where it's really hard to tell where the puck is. You can bitch & moan about the refs all you want, but sometimes there just is no way to know if it's under a pad or player's leg and over the line or not.
Why in the hell does the NHL not have a sensor in the puck that would tell officials the exact moment the puck has crossed the line?
You need referees to make some subjective calls during the game, but why not take some of the mystery out of the equation with this technology? I just don't get it. Relatedly, why does baseball still use umps to call balls & strikes?
Get with the times, people. Fox was using this technology to give us pucks with blazing tails more than a decade ago.
