Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
The NFL allowed video review on Pass interference for one year and everyone hated it so much that it was dropped immediately. That doesn't solve the problem of bad calls on subjective rules but it was deemed that some missed calls were better than deciding subjective calls in video review. I'm super torn on that because in the CFL they do still allow reviewing pass interference and it really feels like it's 50/50 every time which way the call is going to go, and it isn't great for anyone.
For the NHL, reviewing offside has gotten to the point where 98% of the reviews are pretty cut and dry and don't take long, without too much controversy. It's the goalie interference that's the problem, and that's the subjective part.
I watched the Oilers/Blues game from a couple nights ago and there were two goalie interference reviews. Neither looked all that different to me but the rulings were opposite on the two reviews. One called a goal, one called no goal, and the plays looked similar enough to the average person that people are confused.
I do not know how you solve for reviewing subjective calls. The easiest answer is to have the final decision to live with a single person who can apply his or her interpretation of the rule as consistently as possible from a central location. The issue with that is in the NHL (and NFL) you have time slots where there can be as many as 10 games on at the same time. What if, say, 4 of them are all initiating a video review at the same time? Does one game have to wait 5 minutes to start their review while another one is cleared? Or, you know, the person in charge of video reviews can't work every day for 6 months, so you have to introduce a second person into it, which now you have the variable of two different interpretations of those rules.
Personally, I want more video review of more subjective calls. I fully understand that it will lead to calls that people do not agree with, but we need to get more calls right on close plays. But I'm not sure how we do this in a way that doesn't end in total disaster of "but MY team needs to get more calls going their way" than we already have.
Which might be annoying, but if the college hockey rulebook says you are allowed to review hits for missed penalties it's okay to do. The NHL rulebook doesn't allow refs to initiate a challenge against themselves for missing a call and review video to determine if they missed at call.
I believe there is some very minor leeway written into the NHL rulebook for missed high sticks/puck over the glass, where linemen can tell the refs that the linemen think the ref missed a penalty. And then the refs can decide to call a penalty if they are convinced. But no video review unless they assess a double minor and then they can watch the video to decide if 4 minutes is the correct call.
But as far as I know, the linemen can't convince the refs they missed a 2 minute boarding minor and they definitely are not allowed to watch the replay and call it, including watching if on the big scoreboard over head.
Linesmen are allowed to call a 4 minute high stick and a puck over glass penalty. If there is a puck over glass and the linesmen clearly sees it, the call is made. the 4 minute high stick is the call if a guy gets cut/blood drawn. If a linseman sees that clearly, and there is blood drawn, the linesman can call that 4 minute penalty. I'm guessing that part is probably a leftover from a time in the 90's when a few calls of 4 minute high stick penalites were missed so this was added to the rulebook. Those are the only penalties a linesman can call. Now, you will often see all 4 officials on the ice get together to talk about it, and a linseman can tell a referee what they saw on a play if the ref asks. But the referees do have final decision on every other penalty.
In terms of penalty reviews, right now the NHL has one allowance for penalty reviews. If a 5 minute major (of any kind) is called it can be reviewed and either kept at a 5 minute call, reduced to two minutes, or no penalty called. This is why you may see a referee call a 5 minute penalty on something he's not sure about so it can be reviewed. No other penalty can be reviewed.
None of that is words.

Disney has done that for one game the last two years, the games aired on Disney XD and ESPN+.
Honestly, I think it's great. the broadcast is geared towards kids. I'm all for ways to get younger people interested in the sport/the NHL. Not everything has to be for everyone, and these broadcasts are in addition to the traditional existing broadcasts, not replacing them. There's a lot of hate for this kind of thing on the intnernet (not saying anyone here, just the internet in general) and I don't get it. Nothing is being taken away.

Actually I don't mind rancid butter smell or rancid red meat smell. Something about rotten fish fat is just special.

My afk cheese build has 265 range and 254 strength, it's silly.
EDIT: I just realized the eternal defense strip I always have is probably due to being constantly in the vast untime. The ult pauses the timers on all xaku's sub powers so they last forever!
Thinking about the remaining cards this month and which to get.
US Agent feels like a pass, Red Guardian looks like a solid tech card, White Widow seems solid, and Valentia is average?
If I had to pick, I'd lean towards RG and WW and pick up the others in future Spotlight Caches. What y'all thinking?

Garuda's kind of silly against the Murmur. Very quick for her 1 to scale to dealing 100%+ of the max HP of whatever you aimed it at, and since they have no defenses at all, just giant HP pools...

US Agent is a worse Man-Thing and that rarely sees play. Maybe this sees play as a counter against Discard? Its basically a 15 power swing for 2 when Discard get off Hela, but is that really enough to counter it?
Red Guardian feels solid. Lots of targets I'd want to shut down with him. Definitely want.
White Widow seems really useful. But I'm a sucker for clogging up my opp lanes.
Valentina makes me wish there was a discover mechanic in Snap, not sure the downside is that bad and might end up seeing play?
The important thing, though, is to look at the cards in May. They are all awful and I don't see anything in the caches that I don't have. So I'm not gonna feel bad about burning my resources this month grabbing WW, RG and maybe Valentina

Yeah, I forgot about those cards. None look appealing, except my Sasquatch, so looks like I can reload. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the cards get changed, but man they aren't impressive as of now.

If you can keep it below 40° the entire time, go ahead, but thermal dynamics won't keep the temp uniform and some creepy crawlies survive beneath 40°
