Agreed that ref's are human . . . isn't that why maybe 2 pairs of eyes
are better than 1 pair? How about football when 6 (or is that 7) can
call penalties?? There is 1 in charge.
So do it the same in hockey . . . 1 head ref, another ref, and 1
linesman. The head ref had the final call . . . but both can call
penatlies.
It may not be perfect, but . . .
