Cooper wasted a timeout. Nevermind what they review or not, the moment they look at the replay and decided it a good goal your odds of getting it overturned on a second review are slim to none. It call human nature and confirmation bias, it the reason why challenge should always be sent to the war room. This is not fair to the refs to have them look back at their own work. They take enough heat as it is.
I thought it was a good challenge. I remember a goal that Montreal scored on Boston earlier in the year where there was a scramble in the crease.
Basically, chara decided to pin Gallagher against the goalie and not to let him move. Meanwhile, a habs player stuffs the puck into the net.
The ref goes to review it and overturns the good goal.
Last night, the push received by dale weise into the goalie looked alot less sinister than the chara/Gallagher incident, yet this goal stood.
At this point, I have no idea what the standard for goalie interference is. Sometimes, you can push a guy into the goalie, and it counts, while others, not so much.
All I can come up with at this point is that refs may rule with bias depending upon their perception of certain players. For example, what if it was Gallagher who made that play last night instead of dale weise. Does it still count?
