Why There's a Such Thing as Video Review... Pay Attention Baseball Umpires



The New York Islanders escaped with a victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night thanks in no small part to a video review that revealed that Matt Moulson has scored in overtime to give his team the 3-2 victory. Play was allowed to continue until officials were given a chance to take another look at the play, which showed that while Lightning goalie Dan Ellis was able to corral the puck, he only did it a split second too late. Kind of takes the spirit out of scoring a goal, when the goalie makes a spectacular save but it still crosses the goal line, but rules are rules.
