Leafs goal called good after review

[HansonBro]

Can't believe this was called a good goal after review for offside. This is like Duchesne level offside. I can't find a clip yet...so if someone wants to post it kudos

It's because it wasn't called on the ice, and it was very hard to tell when Tavares touched the puck again after letting it go at the blue-line. It's similar to this.

About 8:32 in

...Tavares brought it back in, therefore he should have been deemed to have possession and it should have been offside, imo...that said, Makar had it happen in last year's Playoffs and they counted it, so who the F**K knows these days...

To me it looks like Tavares clearly touches it again in the zone before Nylander tags up. Should've been an offside. They probably have an angle that shows it not to be so clear since they didn't overturn it.

You like torturing oiler fans. I like you

If you can't find a clip yet, why didn't you wait to make the thread until after you found a clip?

Looks on-side to me



Seems that both Tavares and Nylander are on-side when Tavares touches the puck in the zone. He doesn’t appear to touch it while Nylander is on the delayed offside.

Anyway, the 5-2 empty net goal with a 1:30 left is hardly relevant to the result of the game so I don’t think this is thread worthy. Definitely not as significant as the Makar offside debate. The refs reviewed it and determined it was on-side.

Clearly this isn’t anywhere close to egregious as the Duchene offside that basically created the coaches challenge. That was a clear offside that couldn’t be reviewed. This was called on-side after being reviewed.

Not even close, this is a 50/50 situation.
Duchene was so far offside he was at the FO circle

Good thing we've got the offside review to get the call right, no?

The NHL managed to make an offside rule ambiguous by throwing in what they consider possession. You can apparently maintain possession of the puck while not having it on your stick, but you can simultaneously still be onside in spite of the puck being in the zone early and you having "possession" as long as you're not actually touching the puck.

This same thing happened to the Sabres in 2021, and of course the league screwed it up during the game which robbed the Sabres of a game tying goal, and then said "whoops we got it wrong" after the game. One of the many reasons why the whole idea of "gotta get it right" is bogus. They still manage to get it wrong even with all of the reviews, at the cost of slowing the game down, taking the fun out of scoring goals, and even leading to me hoping that the D clears it on close plays. Love having to root against my own team at random points of watching hockey.

NHL Admits Error in Sabres’ Goal Overturned for Offside

The linesmen got it right. The NHL has admitted the Situation Room made a mistake in disallowing the Buffalo Sabres’ game-tying goal against the Rangers.

To me, it looks like Nylander tagged up in time from the original angle. Seems like a case where there was no point really going in depth with it, since the game was already over.

File this one under “stupid shit we kept doing for years after it became obvious we ought to stop”.

NOTHING is Duchesne levels of offside, NOTHING

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

It looks like the leaf player touches the puck before the tag up, but it isn't clear.

The next time you can't tell definitively that the leaf player touches the puck, Nylander (or whomever the other leaf is) is tagged up.

So, I'd have to say this is a good call.

I can’t believe anyone would think this is Duchesne-level offside when it was onside.

This is the like the 4th post in 24 hours where an indignant poster points out a “situation” that only exists because of their lack of understanding of the NHL’s rules.
