Lmao, goal wiped out because a player leaving the ice used the bench door. Should have taken one more stride and hurdled over the wall like a moron, apparently.

I’m not salty about this going against the Canes specifically. Offside reviews ****ing suck and 90% of them have absolutely nothing to do with the goal scoring sequence. It’s as bad as the late 90s crease reviews.

Rookie mistake. Probably deserves to sit for a shift or two.

Gotta get off the ice, kid.

Build the bench doors on the other side of the blue line if they’re going to enforce offside to this level of nit-pickiness.

It wasn’t called in real time for a reason, he wasn’t part of the hockey play.

Honestly, I don't mind that call. Offsides SHOULD be black and white. If we have to rely on officials determining whether or not the offsides affected the play, it'll be similar to GI in terms of "Who knows"?

Yep, it was a good call. We have to have more urgency than we are showing

I think the rule needs to specifically allow for out of the play and going through the door. That's the door configuration in every single rink and there's no real alternative to it. Just acknowledge the fact of the rink layout with a specific rule carveout and allow that goal. You don't have to make it apply to every situation where the offsides player didn't affect the play, though I wouldn't mind that either. It really shouldn't be ticky tack, it should just be a mechanism to correct the egregious stuff. The game would be better if the vast majority of offsides reviews didn't happen and the goals counted.

I think this is the solution, not joking. Don't think there's anything in the rule book that says they can't.

Also if touch up offside was a thing that's a goal, but the league voted against that when that was one of the options.

Its the right call. Its asinine the way they err on letting the play go until they can review it to take a goal away.

In that case, I imagine the linesmen didn't catch Blake getting off, so that's why offside wasn't called initially. But that's why they have coaches on the bench specifically for video review.

I mean that was how it worked for like 90 years and there were no meaningful issues. Like one time per season you might have that moment of saying “hey that looked offside, that goal shouldn’t have counted” and then you’d forget it five minutes later.

Replay actually creates controversy out of thin air.

If his foot is off the ice, its a goal. Its no different than the plays where they slow it down and the guys toe just missed tagging up by a centimeter.

It is detrimental on several levels because they almost always let it go if its close. Then you rip the momentum away from the team thst scores because it was 1/4 inch offside. And you know thats the case because theres 30 or so a year called back.

The Landeskog play was how many years ago? This is the way the rule works, it’s fine. It’s wonky that the bench door is in the offensive zone but that’s the way it has been and is today. I agree - it’s the exact same thing as stretching to keep a toe a centimeter onside. Get off the ice faster == tag up to get back onside faster.
