Anything that can improve is not bad. This idea is bad. Will it kill the game? Yes! The time taken to replay adds up. By NHL standards it is at least 5 minutes per call. Teams right now complain that there are not enough matches to seed correctly. If we take time for video replay you can knock off 1 game per team to allow for replays. Last year we had a tough time trying to stay on schedule just with refs calls.

By the way, does anyone have any idea of what percentage of calls have been reversed (not decided) due to video replays.
