It seemed to me that they blew the call. I don't think they saw anything to reverse the original call on the ice. It also sounded like the announcers felt the same way. A time limit might be a good idea but then again that may cause problems as well. During an SLU game this season we lost out on a "no-goal" call being over turned because they couldn't get the replay equipment to work. Would equipment problems count in the time allowed?

Subject: Michigan OT goal
Is there anyone besides me who thinks the revised explanation for the OT
winning Michigan goal against Nebraska-Omaha is bogus? I continue to
believe that the original explanation, that the puck crossing the line
was highly probable, was what the refs were acting on but they caught
flak from someone(s) who pointed out that explanation violated the
definition of a goal. Note that I do not question whether it was a goal
or not. I just doubt the explanation. And I am also troubled by 9:30
to review the situation - if you can't find definitive evidence in 5
minutes, I doubt it exists. What about putting an actual time limit on
reviews?
I guess we need in-the-cage cameras like the NHL has.
