Make the call: Goal or no goal?

These challenges include:

• Insufficient video or camera quality
• Limited camera angles
• Inconsistent camera setups across venues
• Not all cameras being available for review

As a game official, making real-time decisions based on limited information is crucial. This week you can make the decision. We show four clips of situations from the past weekend. First, from one angle and in real time - just like game officials who have to make a decision on the ice. Then there's the resolution.

Here are the outcomes for the four situations presented:
Situation 1: Goal
The perception of a high stick is misleading. Kosmachuk's stick was above the crossbar, but he didn't contact the puck. The goal stands as the puck deflected off the goalkeeper's back.

Situation 2: Goal
No goaltender interference occurred as Schwinger's contact with Holway, who then contacted his own goalie, happened after the puck entered the net. There was also no high stick. The goal is valid, though a crucial angle showing the puck below the crossbar wasn't available to officials.

Situation 3: Goal
Initially waved off due to the high-speed shot making it difficult for officials to see the puck enter the net. After review, it was correctly determined to be a goal.

Situation 4: Goal (based on available angles)
The on-ice call of a goal stood after review due to inconclusive evidence from available angles. However, a behind-the-net camera angle not accessible to officials would have shown the puck above the crossbar, potentially changing the outcome if available.
