from Chilling Out by John Glennon at the Tennessean,
If the first round of the NHL playoffs earned notoriety for the so-called “Sean Avery rule,’’ then this round of the postseason should focus on a “Tomas Holmstrom rule.’’
Specifically, here’s what it should be: Any goal scored by Holmstrom gets automatically reviewed by the NHL.
Now you see why we here in Nashville complain about media coverage?
Glennon tries but...yikes.
Posted by Paul Nicholson from Nashville, TN on 05/09 at 01:52 PMIs this guy for real?
Posted by Kate from Pa. on 05/09 at 02:30 PMI actually think John Glennon is a very solid beat reporter for the Predators. As for the “Tomas Holstrom Rule”? Geez, get a sense of humor, you guys… that’s kind of funny. 
Not to mention that every single goal is automatically reviewed. Referees don’t decide when to review. The referee after he calls goal, skates to the referee crease where he tells the scoring table who scored the goal and then waits for one of the off ice officials to either signal that they are going to look at it further or gives the thumbs up that it is a good goal.
Posted by PRS on 05/09 at 04:05 PMThe NHL reviews every goal, but not every call is reviewable. So if the ref decides it wasn’t goalie interference, Toronto can’t say otherwise. That’s what John’s column means to be about, I’m sure.
And yes, more plays should be reviewable, but only if the league can find a way to dramatically speed up the review process.

Pssst, John?
You can legally be in the crease now. This isn’t a decade or so ago when a foot in the crease nullified goals (unless your name was Brett Hull and it was the Cup Finals).
Leave the Don Cherry Pucker (Sour Grapes) behind if you’re going to pretend to be a real journalist.
