The removal of the goal judges becomes official across the NHL this season. Some clubs began doing it last season. Most clubs will move the goal judges to the press box. It all depends upon arena configuration.
Let’s be honest here. Video replay has made the goal judges all but obsolete.
“Certainly, with respect to some of their more traditional duties, the video goal judge (and the entire video review procedure), in combination with the two referee system, have lessened the responsibilities and clearly minimized the number of times in a season goal judges are consulted in making ‘goal/no goal’ decisions,” wrote NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly in an email to the Inquirer about moving the goal judges recently.
The Flyers have turned the boxes into luxury seats. Work crews have redesigned the two goal judge boxes at the Wachovia Center into 12 “Goal Judge Seats” _ two rows of three seats behind each goal.
Now you sit your fanny on leather seats which are deeper and wider and come with waiter/waitress service.
