SAN JOSE — Two of the most dramatic postseason victories the Sharks enjoyed this spring were also two of the most contentious moments of this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
By announcing Thursday that it was expanding its video review process, the NHL hopes to eliminate such controversial occasions from happening again.
Meeting in Vancouver, site of this year’s NHL draft, the league’s general managers approved a new rule that would allow coaches an unlimited number of video challenges for goalie interference, offside and other possible missed calls that would have otherwise resulted in a stoppage in play.
