Best Eyes

No one keeps stats for video coordinators in the NHL, and there are no official awards from the league. Which is good for the other 30 men who have Lawrence Feloney’s position with the other teams throughout the league, because he’d run away with it all. As the Predators’ quick-draw eye in the sky, Feloney has the job of determining whether there’s some kind of malfeasance the officials overlooked worthy of challenging. Was an opposing player a nanometer offside before the goal? Was his stick just a hair’s breadth above the crossbar? You can’t hide from Feloney’s eyes. Shivers go down the backs of the Preds’ opponents when the referee announces, “Nashville is challenging the goal.” They know they’ve lost and their goal will be stolen away. It’s Feloney theft. J.R.
