SDS Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hoooooooooooo boy. I've long been a proponent of video review because of some egregious offsides that have gone unnoticed, but after seeing it play out this season I'm in favor of some kind of "reasonable distance" standard so toenail offsides no longer wipe out goals. I also may or may not be biased because I picked the Blues in multiple playoff pools :angel: Offsides should only be reviewed at full speed. If you can't determine if it's offsides at full speed then it's too close to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Shaw hit the goalie, by the book that should be no goal. That's not the book. He was allowed to play his position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 What a shitshow. Because there are so many unreviewable plays that have so much more to do with any goal. You can't have them challenge an offside call and pick up the play where it was when they determine it wasn't offside. You can't challenge a penalty that was called incorrectly that gives another team the game. But something as unimportant as that little foot lift, while still in spirit of the offside rule like the constant icing shots just short of the red line that they let go, can turn a series. It's ridiculous to think this is good for the game. It's a joke. Stay onside. It's pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 So the ref had a chance to overturn his initial call and the Toronto review? That was a wasted challenge. Hockey is beautiful at live speed. But when you slow it down frame by frame it can get really boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Stay onside. It's pretty simple. So are you okay with the coaches challenge staying exactly the same way and then doing nothing to address those other, more important plays that I mention? Why on earth would you be? Stay onside then and there is no review. Pretty simple. So would you support adding coaching challenge rules to fix all those other missed broken rules that I mention too? Or is it perfect the way it is, arbitrarily singling out that specific one even though it carries no more importance than any other play? You're really fine with it like this, exactly as it is?

pastajoe Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 They have to get rid of that offside review next year. That's been a good goal for the history of the league. If it's not called and not obvious you let it go. Only pucks in the net should be reviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just annoying, right or wrong, it's not worth it I think the players will ultimately adjust their game. They won't be riding the razors edge trying to time the zone entry. They will hold up a half step to avoid this in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
