"The fucking Mayans were right."

ThinkTank posted:

I don't think it's possible to put a time cap on anything. What's the point of a review if it's not to make sure something was correct in the first place. If it's "correct so long as you're certain within 30 seconds" then it's not really a review, it's more a confirmation. It's the same with putting an arbitrary time limit on how long before a goal is scored can something be reviewed. What's to say a missed offside 40 seconds before the goal didn't fundamentally change the outcome of the attacking play?

Rather than trying to limit when they can take place or how long they have to be resolved, I think the best course of action is to discourage teams from making a hail mary shot at overturning a goal by making the punishment for being wrong actually meaningful.

I am in favour of scrapping goalie interference as reviewable though. It's a judgement call at the best of times, don't make it more complicated than it already is.

"Inconclusive" is already a possible outcome, adding a time limit just broadens the pool of situations that will be inconclusive. And I think that's fine, 95% of the game is played by one standard: what the officials can see in real time. Whether a goal actually goes in or not seems like a reasonable place to have a different standard, but getting down to whether a player was 3ms offside or whatever, which a linesman staring at him in realtime could not determine, and the player themself could probably not perceive or do anything about seems like bizarre unnecessary nitpicking. And, unlike a goal review, it is a question of whether active play should have been stopped, and what happens after, so you make offsides calls more impactful in ways that cannot be reviewed. For example, in game one if Forsberg had carried the puck across the line exactly the same, but then turned it over and the pens had scored on a rush, it would have been just as much of a missed call by the linesman, and just as important to the outcome of the game, but unreviewable.

I mean, I also think discouraging them would be good.

Just get rid of offside reviews. Who cares if that one time a dude was like 10 feet offside and they missed it? It doesn't outweigh the bullshit of offside reviews slowing down the game and creating instances where a goal scored 30 seconds after the puck enters the zone is called back.

Oh yeah, the best outcome is to do away with the coach's challenge entirely but the league seems unwilling to do so despite it being wildly unpopular with fans. Matt Duchene being offside by a country mile one time does not warrant all this faffing around with iPads.

In that particular instance sure, but what about this?



Is this guy onside or offside? In the currently definition of the rule he's objectively offside no question. Sure overhead cameras would give a better view, but you're relying on cameras 75ft or well off to the side to determine the exact location of a tiny part of a player's skate (maybe only a couple centimetres in size) in 3D space. They have trouble locating the exact position of a puck and it's a consistent size and shape and the goal line is six feet wide compared to 85 ft for the blueline. It's a hell of a lot less clear cut than people seem to make it out to be.

From that angle? Can't tell ya, but from a camera mounted on the blue line, I'd be able to give you a better assessment.

Maybe the NHL should mount them there :thunk:

If the nhl spent more than fifteen bucks on their blue line cameras, it would be pretty easy to determine offsides.

But nah, a 0.5 megapixel sensor recording at 3 fps is all we got budget for. Sorry guys!

Funnily enough the Hull thing was the league half assedily implementing a rule to make up for the uncertainty around goaltender interference, just like they're doing here with reviews. If they'd left well enough alone no one would really remember the Stars first cup. I think the chances of a Stanley Cup winner being affected by an obviously blown offside call are far lower than the likelihood of it happening due to the idiocy around a situation like Forsberg's skate.

To do his job correctly, the linesman has to stand on the blueline and would be in front of the camera most of the time. The NHL has them already, but they're generally not a very useful view for that reason.



I found the NHL PR tweet that showed the result of the above offside call. The quality could be a hell of a lot better, that I don't disagree on. I just think they're not likely to solve anywhere near as many issues as people seem to expect.

Also both Nashville and Colorado were last in their divisions that year. Though had Nashville won that game and everything else stayed the same, they would have finished ahead of Carolina and probably not been able to draft Seth Jones. Really makes you think.

I think i'd trade any attempt at fixing the offsides challenge for being able to challenge penalties. Everyone in the NHL repeats the mantra of "well we gotta get it right" and then it seems like every other game there's a slow motion shot of a guy whiffing on a high stick and getting called for it anyways.

ThinkTank posted:

Maybe, but it's still very, very had to determine and the number of times there's a question as to whether the puck is over the line and off the ice pales in comparison to the number of times an attacker will go offside with his foot in the air. I general I hate subjectivity in reviews, and this is just adding an element to them that we don't need that's just going to further slow things down. The Forsberg offside was stupid, but at least the rule is black and white as to what counts or not. Adding a huge floating grey area doesn't help anything in terms of eliminating these infuriating delays from reviews.

:agreed: If you're going to have the rule, have the rule be on some incontrovertible condition that can't be argued. The puck either completely crossed the plane of the goal line or it did not, and if you can't conclusively see the official was wrong then the call stands. That works for goals, why can't offsides that lead to goals be subjected to a similar standard? "A player who is not both in possession and in control of the puck is offside if, while the puck is not in the attacking zone, any part of both feet completely crosses the blue line", something like that, maybe a little extra for a guy who's sliding on his rear end and interferes with the play while he would be offside, or had his prosthetic foot fall off in the neutral zone or whatever I dunno, rulebooks are weird and it's expected that players and coaches are going to find ways to pervert them to do weird things to gameplay.

There's only one linesman and he can only stand along one side of the rink. So you get ~6 bullet cams, drill three holes in the boards on both sides of the rink, and mount three on each side. Gives pretty good chances that at least one of them will be unobstructed at the correct point in time.

Hire me, NHL.

Competition committee has proposed two rule changes that will do precisely squat. No time-out calls allowed after icing, and


so basically now get ready for every goalie to have an equipment issue when their team ices the puck.

What the gently caress, why is this even a thing?

No line change is already punitive in that you have to waste your timeout which could land you in trouble later. Why do we need more than that? What is wrong with this game that they are constantly trying to fix it?

Next dumb step: Duhh let's make icing a penalty and see how that affects the game

I would actually be cool with calling a delay of game penalty if a team ices, say, 3 times in a minute.

Oh, it wasn't on purpose? Then you get 2 minutes for being terrible at hockey.

The Canucks have hired Newell Brown (former assistant coach) and Nolan Baumgartner (former player) as bench assistant coaches. They have also hired Doug Jarvis (former assistant coach) and Manny Malhotra (former player) to be non-bench assistant coaches. Dan Cloutier (former player) is the goalie coach.

Why is Jim Benning is desperate to emulate the 2009 Edmonton Oilers nepotism?

The highlights from his time as a Canucks coach were 1) he invented the PP drop pass that worked pretty well at first when the team was loaded with talent but fell off pretty quickly the moment teams figured out it was going to happen yet the Sedins and Edler still insist on doing it 7 years later and 2) he was not Ryan Walter.
