Here's a behind the scene look at the war room. Big Brother is watching.

Pretty cool, I don't care what they say, that job is much better than the one I currently have. Thanks for the story.

So which perverted fucker in Toronto is in charge of watching Holmstrom's rear end night in and night out?

And it's a shame that no one that works in there has an IQ north of 60...

Funny, the number terrible calls per year = the number of TV's in the room

Anybody see the big sign that says "DISALLOW FLYER GOALS" in the background? :p

I didn't see it in this picture, must be out of frame. It is also a daily memo.

I bet it's like the post office, with pictures of wanted criminals up on the walls. Corey Perry, Tomas Holmstrom, and Chris Simon at the top of the list of course.


You know, I don't think we give the on-ice officials enough slack. They pull some boners from time to time, but for the most part the NHL is an incredibly difficult game to call.

And for the most part, the guys up in the war room seem to make the right call most of the time as well. It's just frustrating when jurisdictional minutia screw up something blatantly obvious (Orr, May).

I would not be surprised if that happened once or twice.

Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that Kris King is the judging if a goal counts or not?

Well I guess he was good at watching other players score goals during his NHL career so it is good to see it work out for his post playing days.

Goalie interference isn't their responsibility. It's probably one of the linesmen's jobs.

Another thing that might be an issue is host broadcasters providing feeds. FSD does a great job with having cameras all over the place and I know Holmstrom got at least one goal counted because they had a camera angle across the ice parallel in the center with the goal posts and it showed his stick below the crossbar.

Ah, well that makes it even more creepy. Holmstrom's stalker is right there in the same building with him.

I want this job... I'm very analytical and love hockey, perfect fit.
