How important is getting the call right? I ask because video review of certain plays, as well as challenges have come under serious scrutiny from talking heads and fans alike. It’s an odd paradox for fans that want a game perfectly called, yet also understanding that officials are human and can make mistakes. Fans are seemingly OK with human error all of a sudden.
Yet, I, just like you, was up in arms, during the infamous “OR-gate” in the 2014 Western Conference Quarterfinals against the Avalanche. The rule of offside was litigated heavily on the play that led to the game-tying goal in Game 5 of the series.
