Figured there'd be a challenge.

Yea Kassian was pretty obviously offsides there

I'm not sure he was. The TSN guys pointed out that Draisatl wasn't quite off the ice at the bench which might have been what was ruled. It was extremely close either way.

Getting tired of coaches challenges. NHL wants more scoring yet has challenges.

Makes total sense.

 

[Dust]

Upon further review I think his skate might have been off the ice. I'm not a big fan of those challenges. They only exist because a goal that was 3 feet offside was allowed a few years ago.

I think we're going to see the offside challenge go away or be massively retooled. Offside should have to have a direct impact on the play and have occurred within two or three seconds to cost a team a goal.

That's one of the worst rules in any professional sport. I agree with your assessment 100%

Hellebuyck seems to lose his net every other shift. Isn't he 6'4"?

 

[iCanada]

Do you rememeber when the NHL called their rulebook in 2006? I member.

I think the offside challenge is fine.

Offside should be massively retooled.

I've suggested this a few times but they just need to change the offside rule so that its easier to stay onside.

First, include the space above the blueline. That one seems like a given.

Second, double the width of the blueline and make it so that a play is onside if a player is still in contact with the any part of the blueline before the puck full crosses into the zone.

Makes it easier to score off the rush/stretch plays like we saw tonight. Makes it harder for teams to clear the puck on the PP/when under pressure.

I hope they take it out altogether. Reviews are ruining professional sports.

And make the plane of the line onside, NFL style.

I dunno, the way they do it right now is ticky tacky and ridiculous. The intent of the rule is no cherry picking with one guy sitting next to the goallie. Right now mosty times it is "oh, he was 1/4 inch ahead of the play. NO GOAL!"

It does nothing but ruin the flow of games.

It'll be more exciting to watch the games if there was no offside rule.

 

[CherryToke]

Goal! latesttube

 

[PG Canuck]

McDavid is good.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

I'll never understand why Oilers fans complain about their PP. It looks good.

They finally fixed it about two weeks ago. Woodcroft got the bright idea of putting a right handed shot (Letestu) the left side.

 

[PG Canuck]

Nice goal Laine!!

 

[CherryToke]

Goal!! Laine!

nice snipe

 

[syz]

Laine the sniper. Knew he'd get one tonight.

Hellebuyck is a rebound machine, btw. Everything at his pads has been kicked into the slot tonight.

 

[ThrillinPhil]

Ouch

 

[t0nedeff]

bahaha what a snipe by Laine

 

[Del Preston]

What could have been if the lottery didn't betray us.

Feel bad for the kid though.

 

[canadianmagpie]

I think Laine is a little too used to scoring than defending....

Good on Wheeler to try and pick him up though.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

What a shot by Laine
