it was meant very specifically for the crazy 10 m offside completely blown calls. i think briere and duchene were the big ones?

What are you saying, you can only do an offside challenge if it is super duper obvious?

Agreed. The alternative is that there is the rare chance that a bad, missed offside call has large influence over a game of importance.

If the NHL is going to keep the replay they need to make the offsides call based on the plane of the blue line, no more of this "skate has to be on the ice" crap.

If it's too close for the linesman to notice, then it's probably not actually going to have an effect on the play, especially if the goal happens a minute after they enter the zone. It's just a waste of time, and even then it's not a guarantee they'll get the call right.

Even so it would be better than what they have now. I get that the skate being on the ice has been the standard for offsides for decades but if the NHL is keeping the offsides challenge it has to be simplified, and made more obvious. Like, what advantage could possibly be gained when a player is straddling the blue line but his back skate is like, 2cm off the ice?

im saying that the actual reason that they implemented was because of a series of completely blown calls where the refs had no idea what was going on instead of anything on the borderline, and thus his post was incorrect.

id be fine if the standard were "super duper obvious". but the least they could do is not have it affect plays where it was fractionally offside and then the goal is scored a minute later on nothing even remotely close to a rush chance generated via offside
