Wasn't sure where to post.
Apparently NHL is looking into having refs wear audio devices so they can talk to each other while play is going on, to prevent stuff like early whistles like the one with Price/Pageau last night.
They do this in soccer I think

lol
how do you want them to prevent that. happens so fast
early whistles happen in every game, just usually the goalie has 100% control of the puck
if theres a ref or linesman on the otherside he could say "loose" or something to indicate the puck is still loose on his side
would also indicate hes got the best view so let him make the call when it needs to be made
but the "intent" to blow the whistle rule could still fuck with it they would need to go with a hard whistle until you hear it plays good
they could also use it to talk to toronto without huddling which kinda worries me tbh haha specially if they bring it in for the playoffs why not next season
