Calls and non-calls for lost helmets, Chiasson’s ban, Scandella’s teeth, Binnington’s sanity, Acciari’s boarding, and the league reviewing a play ineligible for review.

Video reviews by the NHL’s Situation Room and Player Safety are righting the wrongs… right? Also on deck for Todd and Josh: Danault’s unpunished spear, two Habs’ goals wiped out by goaltender interference, and penalty questions from the mailbag!

Are MORE video reviews the way to improve hockey? We’ll discuss, along with awarded goals, Thornton’s disallowed pair, high sticking reviews, and more.

On this week’s Refs Podcast: The Hurricanes’ offside goal that stood but shouldn’t have, even after review. Also, thrown pucks, neutral zone penalty shots, goaltender interference, and why the rule book says Player Safety should come down harder on spearing.

Watch those hands! This week: Player Safety inaction, pucks over glass (or not), too many men, and players penalized for handling the puck… with their hands.

NHL Player Safety opted not to issue a suspension to Vancouver’s Tyler Myers, but they did give us a great video explaining why. Todd and Josh also discuss more non-calls, an icing rule refresher, and AHL ref emergency call-ups.

This week: Pucks off refs, pucks off players, suspensions, fines – plus, a rule refresher on skate blades, displaced nets, too many men, and mandatory minimum suspensions.

Wrapping up the World Juniors with mic’d up refs, offside challenges, and faceoffs. Todd and Josh also cover the NHL’s referees and linesmen for 2020-21, how to pronounce their names, and possible officiating sponsorship opportunities! C’mon, refs, let’s cash in on those calls!

The NHL season countdown is underway! Todd and Josh talk World Juniors suspensions and rule differences, changes to the NHL’s offside rule, the NWHL going with an all-female officiating crew, and the possibility of advertisements on NHL officials’ helmets.
