I have looked at both perspectives, done calculations, ran analyctics and conducted exstensive interviews. All research states that both clearly were offsides
From IIHF:
"A player has one skate on the blue line or in the neutral zone and one skate in the
attacking zone at the instant that the puck completely crosses the blue line.
Ruling: It is not offside. "
NHL:
"A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blueline regardless of the position of his stick"

well i felt they looked a bit like pilons from time to time ... but their is skill ... undoubtly.
I really hope Petry starts to get more love from the coaching staff...and HF.
Team lead 4 shots on net this game, 2 assists so far and with limited ice time. As Oiler fans have said, he would be a great 2nd pairing guy on a contender, but the Oil ask him to do to much.

Funnily enough, it's not even a "good" team. At least 19 players refused to play at the WHC this year.
But some lines seem to start klicking, which is nice.

Thank you ... actually it is a terrible team with lots of players turning down the invitation ... which becomes pleasant ... meaning that we may be witnessing the emergence of depth.
Thanks for your support.

No problem, I'm all for diversity and growth in Hockey as a sport and Swiss hockey is becoming great example of success in that, and also makes them very rootable for me, but I was just quietly watching this untill the offside farce happened though.

Never been booed during the national anthem. It's not our fault we had good gaps and forced them offsides. #USA

Thats true. I mean the booing part, and them playing well forcing them ALMOST offsides. It's not at all on team USA and they shoudln't have got booed, but in the other hand, fans deserved to show what they think about those refs and their bs calls. Luckily it wasn't Final or anything.

Well, that is classless.
edit. I mean both the booing and Trouba's comment about offsides. I'm sure professional hockey player know the rules and know what is offside and what is not.
Both TSN and NBCSN agreed that both were offside.
Pretty embarrassing that they don't know the rules of the tourney they're covering.
Looked like bad calls to me....I'd say we got lucky. I'm glad this tournament format minimizes the value of one loss for them.

Thank you Elon!
They got both calls right. Both clear offside. Way too much crying going on here. Great game all around and the Swiss fought hard. Way to go USA!!!

Two blown calls is a shame, but both were close and only clearly offsides in retrospect. I can understand the refs not getting the call right, but to go back and discuss afterwards is terrible. Good game from both teams though, and aside from the terrible officiating it was a treat to watch.
I definitely can see how one could argue that those two calls aren't easy to get right for the refs during the game and only appear to be clear onsides in hindsight. It's pretty much the view I have.
But to say that they are both clear offside is nothing short of laughable, especially with the evidence that says otherwise you can find in this thread.
Both TSN and NBCSN agreed that both were offside.
oh yeah, then yure
ncb and tsn, no bias there

If you listen carefully, you can hear that the linesman blows his whistle. As hard as it is for us swiss, if he blows the whistle, they can not allow the goal.

Both were clearly onside, actually, you could see it pretty good.
good game for Switzerland, unlucky result but I think QF quali is still possible so that's the main point.

Righteous bucks!
My apologies
I should have been more clear about what I was laughing at and that was the *cough* comment. 
I agree that the Swiss will be a team to be reckoned with in this tournament
Just saw the highlights, the refs had their **** whistles out big time!
