NHL changes: failed offside will be 2 min d.o.g penalty, no t.o after icing

So basically the coaches will only use it when they're absolutely sure. That means the penalty will only ever be assessed when the coaches are sure but the officials *mess up twice* which only adds insult to injury.

How about instead when an offsides challenge is upheld, the linesmen have to do a lap around the rink with their shirts over their heads?
 
Love it! Will surely result in a couple more goals in plays where the coaches didn't want to risk a challenge.

Not stupid at all. There were too many instances last season where coaches would challenge for offside even though they knew for a fact that the goal would stand. They did it just so that they could have a longer timeout.

This change eliminates that possibility.
 
This is stupid. The problem with the coaches challenges is how inconsistent the refs are. Punishing the coaches for not being able to predict how the refs are feeling at the time is stupid
 
They weren't going to get completely rid of it because it would make the league look stupid, but this way they're going to cut down the number massively. Good change.

Please think of the children before suggesting this ****.
 
I agree with this especially on super close call where they freeroll a goal + get an extended time out.
 
Yessss, I wanted this outcome all along

Basically, it prevents the obvious Matt Duchene type offside non calls (coaches will be 100% sure it was offside) and prevent a coach from calling a challenge for the hell of it just because they can

Like if you were a coach before and you didnt use your offside challenge every game you were just wasting it. Now there is a real cost to using it. Plus it is delay of game naturally, every time an offside challenge was levid for a skate being 1 mm of the blue line it caused 5 minutes of wasted time
 
So if the play really is offside and they still get it wrong, not only will the challenging team have a goal against but they'll also have to kill a penalty. This will at least create some extra entertainment on these boards haha.
 
The offside challenge is already stupid. They basically assess as- if a referee misses an offside, any goal scored thereafter is like a punishment to the offensive team and overturned. There's literally no winning if your the offensive team- if you score, it's a dead play anyways and your punished. It actually deters productive play.

It's a laughable rule to have in place- and they are enforcing a stupider rule to fix a inherently broken one.

They should simply either remove the offside challenge altogether or create some restriction on when it can be used (like only in the event it actually impacts play...not minutes after the fact).
 
Technically... The refs can screw up and because of their screw up.... Can give the team that was wronged... A penalty. Lol. Wow.
 
There should be a time limit. If a goal is scored 10+ seconds after a disputed offside it shouldn't be allowed to go to review.
 
It will stop really obvious missed calls. The day of the 5 minute review where they might be off by 1 cm is over. No coach will risk a penalty on top of a goal.
 
****ing awesome. it gives the momentum back to the team who scored initially in the event that a coach calls a challenge just to get a break and kill the scoring teams momentum
 
Why not penalize the real farce of the game where players drag ass during an icing and force face-off by jumping early to switch to center. Why isn't that enforced? Tired of seeing players who ice the puck are allowed to do stuff like that, or even hide on the bench forcing the officials to go back and get the line that was out there on
 
Makes sense. :handclap: Now can they do something about interference next? I do think they should scrap the foot on ice rule too regarding offside, its stupid and ambigious.

That's not what they're doing.

This was always supposed to be about fixing calls that were clearly wrong, not reviewing to the millimeter, every potential offside that results in a goal.

This will still give teams the ability to call BS when a play was a foot offside. It'll hopefully get rid of them zooming in to try and see if there's an inch of space between the skate and blue line that no one would ever catch without a replay.
 
This also stops teams from using a review as a longer timeout

Also, they should make it where the play can only be reviewed at real time speed

This is the correct fix but they won't change it because the offside rule (since it's a fixed line) is the only rule in hockey that is hard and fast other than maybe the puck over the glass penalty... almost everything else has been changed to the discretion of the referee--icing, player on player infraction penalties, faceoff positioning, goalies playing the puck, etc
 
Great middle ground between keeping it and solving the challenges getting abused.
