If the NHL adapts ‘in-post’ cameras, should goal review ‘stop there?’

The New York Post's Larry Brooks reports that the NHL's hockey operations department is refining a technology that may help reduce the number of disputed goals via placing cameras inside goalposts...
“We are testing and experimenting with ‘in-post’ cameras and would like to introduce them when we are comfortable that they are completely functional and workable,” [NHL VP of hockey operations Mike] Murphy said. “We are not there yet. When we feel we have it right we will start to put them in nets throughout the league.”
The current plan is to place the cameras halfway up the posts, but, as per Murphy, “The league is testing different distances from the ice level.”
The NHL’s video review on goals at the moment is second only to the system used on the tennis tour as far as accuracy — probably as exact on MLB’s system on home runs. It’s not perfect, but it’s close. Cameras in the goal posts will bring the league closer to perfection … in this one regard, mind you.
But Brooks also takes the time to suggest that:
1. As soon as the puck touches the goal line, it should be a goal;
2. And that all plays in which the puck enters the net should not be reviewable:

No Suspension for Boychuk
by Alanah McGinley on 06/14/11 at 06:36 PM ET
Comments (9)
From James Mirtle at the Globe & Mail:
The NHL’s acting disciplinarian, Mike Murphy, confirmed Tuesday that Boston Bruins defenceman Johnny Boychuk will not be suspended for his hit on Canucks winger Mason Raymond in the opening seconds of Monday’s Game 6.
According to Canucks GM Mike Gillis, Raymond “sustained a vertebrae compression fracture” on the play and is expected to miss three to four months.
Murphy said via email that the league’s hockey operations department reviewed the play but deemed it an “awkward collision” and not worthy of a suspension.
“[It was an] awkward collusion between two players battling for space/room,” Murphy wrote. “[You] rarely see a player bumped when in the position Raymond was in (bent over forward).”

Q&A Transcript with Mike Murphy

Q. Mike, can you walk us through the hit, the way you viewed it when you slowed it down and watched it in real-time. Do you think it was blindside or not?
MIKE MURPHY: I probably viewed it like most of you did. I thought it was a late hit. I thought that the body was contacted. But I also thought that the head was hit.
It caused a serious injury to Nathan Horton. So the key components are: the late hit, which I had it close to a second late. We have our own formula at NHL Hockey Operations for determining late hits, and it was late. We saw the seriousness of the injury with Nathan on the ice last night.
That’s basically what we deliberated on. We tried to compare it with some of the other ones in the past. But it stands alone. It’s why we made the ruling.
Q. Can you share what your conversation with Aaron was like? Did he have an explanation for how he viewed it, what he was thinking?

News from the Farm: 10/21/10
by Jon Jordan on 10/21/10 at 04:40 PM ET

If you’re looking for an update on Aunt Bessie’s cow, or information on last summer’s harvest, look on.
If, however, you’re looking for news and information on the top minor league affiliates of the NHL’s Southeast Division clubs, you’re in the right place.
In years past, I would run News from Norfolk as a regular feature on Tampa Bay’s AHL affiliate and now, News from the Farm will feature the Charlotte Checkers, Chicago Wolves, Hershey Bears and Rochester Americans along with the Admirals, to follow the progress of the Southeast’s future stars at the AHL level (and, at least for now, Michael Nylander and Sheldon Souray too).
We’ll look at game results, standings, league and team-leading scorers and goaltenders, pick a player of the week, have a glance at the schedule ahead and keep you abreast of any other developments for these players and their clubs.
Thursday seemed as good a day as any for this weekly feature, so that’s where it will be slotted in to start (and this week, as the first installment, there’s plenty of AHL action to catch up on).
Without further delay, News from the Farm:

via the CP,
Mike Murphy, the NHL’s vice-president of operations, revealed Friday he has cancer.
The 59-year-old told a Toronto sports radio station he was diagnosed six weeks ago with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Murphy, who coached the Maple Leafs and the Kings, said he is undergoing chemotherapy to be followed by radiation treatment.
“If I’m blessed, I will be cancer-free come playoff time,” said Murphy.
