Players can now be ejected by officials in New York

Interesting development, though it seems like it's not exactly what they needed.

I could see them allowing remote officials to eject players for acts that the on field refs may not have been in position to see, but it seems odd to allow them to simply increase the severity of a foul already flagged with an ejection.

Have to see how it plays out I guess.

This will make all those long ass reviews even more gut wrenching.  If they already take forever to decide if a foot was in or out you may as well go wash your car while they decide whether to make a decision like throwing a player out of the game. And you can bet the symbol on the helmet or name on the jersey will absolutely come into play in the decision.

There is no need to suspend play while those types of decisions are made.  None at all.  If it takes a play or two for officials at a remote location to look at the angles and see that a player deserves to be ejected, fine.  It's better than a player staying in.  Look no further than OBJ's hit on JNo.  SOB should have been GONE.  If this move corrects situations like that, sign me up.

The first game that comes to mind is the 09 NFC championship game when Minnesota lost to New Orleans.  Had the refs done their job and seen what Greg Williams was doing, the Saints would still be without a Super Bowl.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
