TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger have the latest on expanded video review, changes to overtime, face-off modifications and the NHL potentially allowing kicked-in goals. Are GMs any closer to a consensus on expanded video review that would include goaltender interference? Bob McKenzie: I wouldnt go as so far as to say that theyre reaching consensus, but they are having some scintillating conversations that we never heard before on goalie interference and that is this - in the breakout group that they had today, a couple of the general managers, Brian Burke and Bryan Murray amongst others, said that, if they want to go to review goaltender interference, they would like the referees to be able to it on the ice, in the penalty box with a monitor there, NFL-style. Thats never really been discussed before. The NHL has always been hesitant to do it. It will be interesting to see whether it gets any support from the larger group on Tuesday. Darren Dreger: Additonal video review is generally a hot-button topic at these meetings. Weve talked, seemingly, on an annual basis about the coachs challenge. Well again, that has legs. Theres some concern as to how you work out the details. The devil is in the details with the criteria. If the puck leaves the zone, does that nullify the coachs challenge? If theres a change in possession, does that nullify the challenge? I think you could see some real traction on additional video review for goaltender interference, but also the puck off the net that ends up in the goal and, perhaps, looking at offsides, like the Matt Duchene goal scored last year. That still haunts the NHL and video review could have stopped that. Could we see it expanded in time for the playoffs? Dreger: Very, very unlikely. I think its a long shot at best because theres a review process that the NHL has to go through that includes the competition committee and, ultimately, the Board of Governors would have to sign off on it during the Stanley Cup finals. Ken Hollands proposal for a three-on-three overtime, as they try to reduce the number of shootouts, seemed to be gaining momentum. Has it now hit a major roadblock? McKenzie: It certainly seems as if that momentum has dissipated. Everybody who was talking about it at the November general managers meetings in Toronto arent talking about it now. Glen Sather, New York Rangers general manager, called three-on-three overtime a pipe dream. Nobody seems to be talking that up too much, but what they are talking about is, potentially, doing a dry scrape of the ice before overtime instead of after, when they normally do it before the shootout, and going to the long change format, that is with the goaltender in the same position as he is in the second period, furthest away from the teams bench. A much harder change that usually results in more goal-scoring in the second period. Face-offs and Face-off markings were also under scrutiny on Monday. What options for change are there? Dreger: Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues pitched a novel idea, stealing from the Olympic tournament, in how the alignment was used in the Olympics, with the spacing between the hashmarks. In the NHL, theres just a three-foot separation. In the Olympics, it was five feet and, should the NHL consider that, it would create more space and there would be less contact, so the forwards could have some more room to move. Another face-off idea, and I think its a long shot at best, is trying to get rid of wasted time in throwing the centremen out of the face-off circle when hes completed an illegal draw. Move that centre back one foot is an idea that was pitched on day one. Some are intrigued by it to the point that they want further discussion, but I dont see this one flying. Is the NHL seriously considering counting all goals kicked in with the skate on the ice? McKenzie: Well, they are certainly talking about it and its a big step forward. They are looking at a liberalized kicking-in of goals, but were going to wait to see. You just never know. Dreger: Im sure the Players Association will have some input on that and, certainly, any overtime modifications being made. We know that Mathieu Schneider, Joe Reekie and Rob Zamuner will attend Tuesdays meetings and the sense is that they have some thoughts of their own on some tweaks or changes that might help grow the game. http://www.sportingkansascitymlsshop.com/Authentic-Mikey-Lopez-Jersey/ .

Toronto bounced back from an awful road trip with a solid 5-2 victory over New York on Monday night in the opener of a six-game homestand. R.A. Dickey allowed one earned run over 6 1/3 innings to help the Blue Jays beat the Yankees for the first time in 11 games. "The real tragedy in the season will be if theres no growth out of whats happened," Dickey said. "So were in a place where were probably evaluating some things, seeing what we can do better and how we can perform better next year and what pieces to the puzzle are going to fit. "If were able to do that, then were able to take a step forward if nothing else from a year that has not gone as expected for anybody. So again, the real tragedy is if theres no growth out of this but I think that were headed in the right direction as far as thats concerned." Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs and Jose Reyes scored twice for the Blue Jays (59-73), who have spent most of the year in last place in the A.L. East. The bullpen did its job as Aaron Loup, Sergio Santos and Casey Janssen -- with his 24th save -- kept New York off the scoresheet once Dickey left the mound. "Everything fell in line tonight but the key was (it was a) close ballgame, we plated some runs, gave us a little breathing room," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "Thats what we havent been able to do the last couple of weeks." Toronto was 2-8 on its recent road swing and needed a quality start from Dickey (10-12), who delivered a steady performance on a hot, humid evening at Rogers Centre. His knuckleball was effective as he struck out six, walked three and allowed six hits. "Hes on a nice little roll," Gibbons said. "Hes pitching pretty good. Hes got to feel good." Dickeys lone earned run came when Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez turned on a pitch in the fifth inning for a solo shot that tied the game. It was his third homer of the season and 650th of his career. The Blue Jays came back with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. They took advantage of a rare error from right-fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who misplayed a drive from Encarnacion near the warning track. "If I could have just gone straight home from right field, I would have," Ichiro said. "I was that embarrassed." Reyes scored on the error and Adam Lind followed by lashing another balll into right field to push Ryan Goins across.ddddddddddddAfter an intentional walk to Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., Moises Sierra hit a sacrifice fly that scored Encarnacion. That was it for New York starter Phil Hughes (4-13), who allowed three earned runs and seven hits. He was replaced by southpaw David Huff, who struck out Josh Thole for the third out. Aaron Loup replaced Dickey in the seventh inning and struck out former Blue Jay Vernon Wells and Derek Jeter. Sergio Santos came in with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out Rodriguez. "From now on every game is going to be important for us," Reyes said. "We just need to finish this (season) strong so that we go to spring training with a better feeling. Like I said, every win from now on is going to be huge." The Yankees (69-62), who are fourth in the East but entered play just 3 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot, opened the scoring in the first inning. Leadoff man Brett Gardner worked a full count off Dickey before singling up the middle. Gardner moved to second on a Thole passed ball and advanced to third on a Jeter groundout. Robinson Cano followed with a tough chopper that deflected off Dickeys glove to Reyes at shortstop. The only play was to first base, allowing Gardner to score. Toronto tied it in the second inning when Kevin Pillar hit a flare to centre field that scored Lawrie from third base. The Blue Jays took the lead an inning later when Encarnacion drove in Reyes with a single to left field. After the Rodriguez homer, the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs but Dickey got out of the jam when Cano flew out to centre field. Both teams had seven hits. Announced attendance was 35,241 and the game took two hours 33 minutes to play. Notes: Rodriguez, who is appealing a 211-game suspension by Major League Baseball, was booed before every at-bat. ... There were some cheers for his teammate Jeter, who was activated off the disabled list before the game. Jeter started at shortstop and went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... The Yankees fell to 31-35 on the road this season. ... Dickey has 15 quality starts this season. ... Lawrie has hit safely in 25 of his last 28 games. ...
