Did you see white? No, no goal, yes, a goal. I didn’t see white and there were plenty of angles….yea it was half an inch max, but that makes a difference according to the rules and we’d be praising the challenge if we were on the other side of it
Are you asking if I saw white on the initial play or the review? Because the argument from somebody else were the angles used, not whether or not it was really offside or not. Don't act like you saw no white on the initial play that was "clearly" not over the line.
I'm watching the Sportsnet feed, and they showed the angle that made it clear it was offside. You can say the rule is absurd and needs to be changed, but the call was correct given how the rule is currently written.
It was offside. The blue line is completely part of the zone the puck is in. Bread never crossed the puck into the offensive zone so therefore it was still part of the neutral zone and Vinny was about 6 feet into the zone by the time the puck crossed. It was really a pretty easy call that the linesman botched.
I thought they said not to challenge plays that are that close. A quarter of an inch and had no bearing on the play
On the reviews. MSG is shit with replays but I’m watching Sportsnet and they showed some good ones. There were sufficient and decent angles to see white or not from their feed, maybe that’s the confusion here.
he's our goal scoring 1C. He's not scoring goals at even strength and deferring continuously.
If you feel it can dramatically alter momentum and you have a solid view backing up your challenge then def go with it like Edmonton did. Apparently MSG didn’t show any solid angles, they’ve been crap with replays recently (like the Kakko ‘post’ that was actually a miraculous desperation glove save by Gibson’)
Dude get over it- the play was offside by 5 feet. It’s really not even a tough call aside from the fact the linesman was in the other side of the ice and it’s so close to going in but realistically if he was on the close side it’s whistled down immediately.
Interesting….so can you advise how much distance it should be offside to be valid?
Could have sworn that's what the league sent out, nothing surprises me with this league though
Yeah, it's not like any other team goes offside by inches in a fast game. That rule is just ass when it has nothing to do with the play but the NHL doesn't want to give the refs any more to think about.
No one said that. The fans want the rule to be re-written to reflect this, but the NHL realizes that any change to the rule in such a manner, makes things subjective.
You mean a memo the league sent that refs shouldn’t overturn? Coaches can challenge whatever they want even if 50 feet incorrect, the onus is on the refs to overturn or uphold….
No, there was a rumor that coaches were told they aren't going to win the too-close/borderline calls and will lose their time-out so they shouldn't slow the game. They didn't say they will lose the black and white calls. It was a rumor nonetheless.
