This isn’t the first time I can even recall this happening. I can remember one with Minnesota a handful of years ago against Washington, and there was one with the Islanders that I can remember too. All that matters is you don’t touch the puck until after the touch up. It’s been like this for a good number of years and while there will be moaning about it, they got it factually correct here.

I don't think most people are arguing it's factually incorrect but rather inconsistent enforcement of the rule.

How many plays a year that don't result in a goal get blown dead incorrectly?

I am a bit confused by the Makar goal being deemed onside. If the nebolous "possession" is a key part in determining if a play is onside/offside, it's a huge grey zone. Are the offisde rules different when it's a delayed offside?

Not that that one goal mattered in the fireworks that was this game. Give me more.

I’m not sure that they did get it factually correct. It seems like this debate hinges on whether Nichushkin can get back onside and tag up as long as Makar is not physically in contact with the puck. That the small amount of time when the puck leaves Makar’s stick allows the delayed offside to be nullified because Nichushkin is back across the blue line before Makar’s stick comes in contact with the puck again. But the rules for delayed offside don’t seem to include only direct physical contact with the puck.

NHL rule book, rule #83.3 posted:

If, during the course of the delayed off-side, any member of the attacking team touches the puck, attempts to gain possession of a loose puck, forces the defending puck carrier further back into his own zone, or who is about to make physical contact with the defending puck carrier, the Linesman shall stop play for the off-side violation.

So if I’m understanding both the rules and the situation correctly (and I really do mean if, I’m not a hockey rules expert and have been watching hockey way fewer years than a lot of posters here), the call that the play was onside would mean not only that Makar didn’t physically touch the puck after it crosses the blue line, but also that he wasn’t attempting to gain possession of it. Which is obviously not correct. If he had dumped it in and gone to the bench, sure, but that’s not what happened.

He was arguably in direct possession of the puck the entire time. And if you feel like not having direct contact between stick and puck for even a moment means that you don’t have possession, he was inarguably attempting to gain possession while Nichushkin was offside and the play should have been blow dead.

Again, as best as I can figure it. Please let me know if I’m missing something, cause it seems like most folks are saying that this was the right call by the letter of the law, but I’m still not seeing it.

i agree. "possession" is huge. think of all the times the player is bobbling the puck, or whatever, and it is technically on-sides and it's blown dead because he didn't have "possession" of the puck.

i don't think anyone would have complained if that goal was wiped off the board under the current rules and precedent, but instead they chose to complicate a rule that they literally just tried to simplify.

Just saw the Makar goal. I assumed he pushed it ahead and then left it to allow his own team to get on side. But it's all just one motion and just dumb luck that he doesn't touch it while offside. Definitely shouldn't have counted

The call was that he did have possession, and therefore didn't trigger the attempting to gain possession clause. He also didn't touch the puck until Nichushkin was onside, so good goal!

Some people have argued that only calling offside once the attacking player touches the puck (instead of when the puck crosses the line like every other time) is cool and good because it's an objective call (sure) that doesn't hinge on whether an attacking player entering the zone had possession or not... except it does because of that second clause aboutong attempting to gain possession. So apparently linesmen really are supposed to do this:

Duck Rodgers posted:

And skaters are apparently supposed to be rewarded for judiciously leaving a small gap between their stick and the puck even if it makes no difference whatsoever in the outcome of the play.

FYI, there is precedent in the league's video rulebook at 6:15. And if anyone cares, I don't like the Oilers and thought Coleman's goal should have counted. Makar's goal was slick but it's absurd that it would have been called back if he'd touched the puck a little earlier.
