    Wow. No s***, Sherlock.

    If I have to watch one more linesman put the puck on a yo-yo string for four false faceoffs, kick a guy out, and then immediately drop the puck when the replacement player comes in...

    I also thought it was interesting that after all these years of trying to convince us to call them assistant referees, the video flat out calls them linesmen again.
    Amen.

    Also, some of those slashing examples now being called a minor is kind of

      Amen, brother. I wish people would stop trying to fix things that aren't broken.

          No, it's the officials. And if it were the players, it'd be the one on the bench jumping off. Only thing the person on the ice is concerned about at that point is getting to the bench.

            If they weren't broken, why the heck is it coming up in committee?

              I wouldn't say it didn't need addressed. The thing with drawing another line on the ice is it becomes a concentration point. Linesman knows the line change is coming so he starts staring at the line to make sure there's no violations there and misses the icing, offsides, hand pass, etc. They don't need to nitpick the rule to the inch. They just need to tighten things up.

                The look up (look out!) line is a warning track to let the players know they're in the danger zone for hits from behind.

                  Or you add the lines, keep calling it as best you can, and worry about whether the skater was a micron over the line on review.

                    I'm well aware of what it is designed to do. Any good engineer with an ounce of creativity will look at something and see what it can do. If it's around 5 feet from the boards, it can serve a dual purpose. Any more or less, and it should be able to be "ballpark'd".

                      Unfortunately it needed to be addressed because some smart*** coach asked the question, "How do you quantify that?" Therefore, we end up with rules like this. And then, as is evidenced by the last page or so on the thread, someone asked, "Well, how do you know it's five feet?"

                        Don't need a 5 foot line on the ice. Seems like the clarification is to get rid of the 20 foot changes that have been happening. 5 feet is not much more than an arm's length.

                          It's longer than an arm's length. For some posters, it's fingertip to fingertip.

                          Complete agreement we don't need a line, especially if we don't need circles around the non-center neutral zone faceoff dots. Just calling a spade a spade.

                            So this is something else that will be reviewable?

                              Currently you can't review if something's a penalty; the only thing that can be reviewed is whether a penalty warrants a game misconduct. That being said, I have seen goals called back on account of too many men on the ice, and I do wonder if, through, replay, you can call that penalty, or if the penalty has to be let go and only the goal disallowed.

                                Kind of like disallowing a goal because of "goaltender interference," with no penalty called.
