Wish Rempe was in.

 

[Fitzy]

It’s seems like we are in an odd transitional period where one day all officiating will be done with electronics

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

They need to get rid of offsides challenges. A goal should not come off the board because a guy is offsides by a hair

 

[MysticLeviathan]

This rule is the worst in hockey, he was offside by a half inch.

and when a puck is short of crossing the goal line completely by half an inch, it’s no goal

 

[Kravtsov420]

Top 6 haven’t done anything but skate around, and Trouba went out of position twice for a hit, this is Rongos hockey

 

[Jayan]

Boring to start the season with challenges ruining the tempo of the game

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Why is TNT always lagging? Like Jesus Christ get it fixed already

 

[duhmetreE]

Offside challenges are cancer when they’re that inconsequential

 

[EdJovanovski]

It’s seems like we are in an odd transitional period where one day all officiating will be done with electronics

They should have a tracker in the skates and puck that automatically blows the play dead when they’re offside on the entry

 

[TGWL]

Cuylle's fault. You all crazy blaming Kakko. Don't they teach kids to drag their legs going over the blueline anymore?

If he dragged and slowed down the entire play is different anyway.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Puck immediately back in our zone for two minutes.

The team looks absolutely atrocious, like they have no interest in playing this game. Absolutely embarrassing start.

 

[Atax]

Welcome back folks. Buckle up. Get used to being caved in for 60 minutes most games.

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah, that whole sequence came right in the middle of the Penguins cycling for an hour.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Cuylle's fault. You all crazy blaming Kakko. Don't they teach kids to drag their legs going over the blueline anymore?

The season is back. We have to deal with these clowns again. Everything is Kakko's fault.

Dude , it’s Game 1 , let’s see how things go by the end of this month.

Offside is not the same as the goalline, come on. How is this different from the foot in the crease nonsense?

 

[n8]

Kaapo did something really rude to the hockey gods

He had a good summer.

Re: rule, I wish they made a small tweak to offsides so the puck just needs to be ON the blueline. So offsides is much clearer i.e. the player is already past the blue line and the puck has clearly not overlapped with the blueline. It gives the edge to the non-puck-holding skater but it makes the game more fluid and gets rid of all these damn challenges.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

It honestly looked offside in real time they made the right call so hopefully get another one

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The problem with offside being objective is that it happens too fast for a human being to catch it. If you put in a machine to make this call, I'd be fine with play stopping there. It just didn't have a real bearing on the end of the play.

 

[n8]

If he dragged and slowed down the entire play is different anyway.

Absolutely. It's not offsides and any play on that shift is valid.

 

[Machinehead]

This league really does need to get rid of the offside challenge.

They probably also need to get rid of the Rangers.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dude , it’s Game 1 , let’s see how things go by the end of this month.

I mean it’s game 586 with this group , don’t think we’re going to be different all of a sudden

 

[yrrebbor]

Welcome back folks. Buckle up. Get used to being caved in for 60 minutes most games.

Watched the FL vs. Boston highlights from yesterday, and there is still no way we can beat them with the current team.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

I couldnt care less about the offsides challenge. What I do care about is obstruction. Everyone does it and it’s only called 5% of the time

 

[The Crypto Guy]

because many are judgment calls.

Yea some are, not all. Point still stands. Get rid of the stupid challenge, if the linesmans missed it oh well.
