He was offside by a few feet. It wasn't like it was an inch or something.
People complain about refs now and how they are too subjective, but now we want a concrete rule like offside to be subjective?
That one was an obvious one. Not like the millimeter ones they spend 5 minutes on.

Just change how offside works. Reviews were a Pandora's box, it's open and not going to go away.
You can carry the puck offside but you can't pass it offside. Done. Problem solved.

That one should have been called. It wasn't close.
I usually hate these offsides reviews when they're looking around for one millimeter of ice between the skate and the line, but this one was just a bad miss by the official.

That's a mistake that rarely happens. I'm talking about missing it by that much but the thing is, the flow of the game was kept in check. It's not like he was just hanging out in the offensive zone "cheating" for an easy chance.

Get rid of offside and icing. It would really open up the game and make it more exciting.

Considering a player was in the zone before the puck, by definition, there was someone hanging out and cheating.
Assuming your reply is that he was barely in the zone before the puck, which is true, where do we draw the line? Oh right, the blue line.

Get rid of the offside, don't need it, replace with the three-line pass for all my anti cherry-picking needs.

We wouldn't need that gimmicky shootout deciding games in the regular season anymore.

Definitely not.
Entering the zone offside is an illegal advantage.

he was skating and moving in with the rest of the line. That is not camping by any stretch.

You really started a thread about that? He was way off, the linesman should have called it and deserves the ability to make that right.
Seriously, it's such an objectively easy rule to enforce, a review to get it right in big moments is hardly the end of the world.

Tonight's call was a clear and obvious offsides, not the fraction of an inch reviews we see that take 5 minutes where no material advantage was gained. One of the few plays where I'm glad there's offsides review.
I think the best balance would be allowing the situation room in Toronto to call for a review if there's an obvious offsides they spot, like tonight's and the Duchene goal. This could allow reviews and reversals for obvious offsides while not having it devolve into this thing where 90% of the reviews are for ticky-tacky instances.

Offside reviews suck, but we know why this thread exists lol. Let it go. Seattle were the better team.
Getting rid of the offside review is a bit much, but I'd like something like a 10 second time limit. It's stupid to have a goal called off because of an offiside 45 seconds ago.
