The play was blown dead for the icing, so the game is already stopped.
A coach could throw a challenge flag and after review, the ensuing face off is at centre ice rather than the "icing" team's defensive zone.
PS: Go Vancouver!! And Go Owen Sound!

Very interesting play. There's no way a linesman could pick up that grazing blow. How often is there a dispute about the touch up or whether a player touched the puck?

The question of a coach's challenge was brought up to the general managers at their meeting this past whatever....it was rejected and what would the penalty be if the challenge is lost..loss of your time out but San Jose had already used their time out...the linesmen in the NHL are usually very good...it was just one of those things.

So is Ed Hochuli quite a good official, but even he makes a mistake that prompts an IR situation. I'm with FF7 - it's very difficult for a linesman to see that play. I say give each team 1 free challenge per game. It doesn't matter if they win or lose the challenge. Then, they have an additional challenge available should they still have a timeout remaining. If the timeout is used, so is their challenge opportunity. If the challenge is won, they keep the TO, but only for a TO purpose. If they lose the challenge, they lose the TO entirely. And just like in the NFL, certain plays have IR instituted by the booth under 2 minutes. |
