Didn't the Bruin just put himself offsides without a call?

 

If a player has possession of the puck, he can't put himself offside:

 

Rule 83 - Off-side

 

83.1 Off-side - Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone.

 

The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leadingedge of the blue line involved in the play.

 

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 leadingedge of the blueline regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.

 

It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is “off-side,” nevertheless the question of an “off-side” never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blueline at which time the decision is to be made.

 

If a player legally carries or passes the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

Thanks. That really cleared it up. I would still debate whether he had control of the puck at the time - he had received the pass behind him and spun into the zone. Oh well! Water under the bridge. Bruins on the PP.

 

DE-FENSE!!! LET'S GO BUFF-A-LO!!!
