Zegras Does It Again

[Sean Garrity]

If a player is slightly offside and score a goal, can the same be said for a puck almost crossing the goal line but not all count as a goal?

I really hope you can see the difference between the two when the slightly offside player has no direct or immediate effect on the goal.

too bad the mild had it overturned because they hate fun things

There are lines for a reason. Offside is offside, sorry

Hopefully some goon lays this out at some point. Torts is right.

Is the objective to score more goals than the other team?

If guys want to be butthurt maybe they should try to stop it.

why?

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

why?

I guess I'm old school, I just don't like it.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Agree, but it works and is effective. However, once defenders expect it, I expect him to be drilled in the process of doing it. Tonight thought we saw Zucc flopping around like a fish and that's an underrated part of the video.

 

[Dirty Dan]

The league was fine without that stupid review before, obvious offsides were called 99% of the time. Small ones come on its not the goal line

 

[EdJovanovski]

He is getting so good at it. It’s almost undefendable when he is that fast.

I couldn’t believe on a podcast he was talking about working on backhand stuff in the summer and they asked him if he could to the Michigan on the backhand and he said no, it took me less than 2 mins to learn and it’s WAY easier than on the forehand. When I attempt it on the forehand I successfully scoop the puck about 2/3 of the time but on the backhand I do 9/10. Even doing it one handed on the backhand isn’t very hard. He said he’s worked on some sort of new trick so I’m curious to see if we see something crazy soon

 

[RipsADrive]

Why won't this guy stop skilling it up out there?

When will he stop?!?

I just can't stand Zegras's TIK TOK STAR IMAGE.

 

[BelovedIsles]

If his straight-line speed and agility were quicker, he'd be one of the best players in the NHL, IMHO.

 

[Space umpire]

Sorry, linesman. If you don't agree that a goal scored like one minute after the offsides occurs should count, then I think you're just on an island.

If you think that cut/dry rules should be selectively applied it’s you on an island.

 

[Jugitsu]

Yeah. I bet your team wouldn't be a party pooper given the chance.

 

[Statto]

There needs to be an ability for the refs to apply some discretion that allows the refs to determine that the offsides had no bearing on the goal. The spirit of the challenge is not to prevent goals like this.

The spirit of the rule is to stop goals being awarded that are offside. In other words it protects sporting integrity.

Where do we draw the flexible offside line? 0.5cm, 1cm, 10cm? Or does it vary based on how many style points are awarded by 3 judges in Toront?

Perhaps if the puck nearly crosses the line we should award it, but only if it’s a pretty play. By the way how do we determine if a play is pretty enough where we should ignore the rules. What subjective criteria do we use or do we only use the rule if Zegras is the scorer?

There should be zero discretion. It’s naive to think such an approach wouldn’t cause all sot of controversy, including accusations of favouritism and match fixing.

 

[Duder54]

Offside notwithstanding, love to see it. The league needs more stuff like this.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Z is so good even his called off goal gets media attention.

 

[OKR]

I’m bored of this move already. Love Zegras tho

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Hate these type of goals. not beautiful in my eyes. maybe like the first time
offside is an offside

I’m bored of this move already. Love Zegras tho

I know.... if we wanted to watch Lacrosse we would watch Lacrosse

 

[Suntouchable13]

Offsides should be offsides.

So let’s review offside calls that actually were onside, cool? In the spirit of getting every call right, and everything. Every onside should be onside.

Ya, it’s insufferable to me when you see a zone entry, then possession, and say “take it out again, that might have been offside 20 seconds ago.” The nhl has “fixed” bad reffing by giving them a redo on scoring plays- nah, just insist on better reffing, if you missed it you missed it, goal counts. Cannot believe we’re still paying for a ridiculous Duchene goal when the obvious solution is getting the ref some f***ing glasses or cognitive testing.

It happens so rarely that it's still new and exciting, IMO.

Hopefully some goon lays this out at some point. Torts is right.

 

[Speyer]

Since when are ruled of goals thread worthy? He needs to find a new stick anyway the novelty effect has worn of on this type of goal.

Offside is offside....unless no goal is scored. Then the offside wasn't offside, because play would continue as though it didn't happen.
