from Bob McKenzie of TSN,,

It's not that NHL coaches don't appreciate having the coach's challenge at their disposal this season for the first time ever...

Well, actually, that's not entirely true as six of 27 NHL head coaches polled by TSN don't like the coach's challenge at all and would just as soon see it abolished.

Their reasons run from it being a momentum killer to too much subjectivity to a suggestion that every goal should be automatically reviewed by hockey operations for goaltender interference and offside (without the coach having to initiate a challenge).

The majority (21 of 27), though, remain in favour of the coach's challenge‎. That’s not to suggest they wouldn't like to see modifications or improvements to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
