So much of NHL refereeing is subjective. I am all for keeping offsides, I think the spirit of the rule is to discourage cherrypicking and stuff like that, which is good. I don't think scrutinizing whether there's a small bit of ice between a player's skate and the blue line is a good use of time and the reason why offsides need to be enforced.

If the question is "how do we get fans less mad and protect the integrity of the game-watching experience" then I think adding subjectivity into what is right now a very clear rule isn't the way

Ginette Reno posted:

I just really don't like the offsides calls where it happened like 45 seconds ago and it stops a cool goal from being scored. And I absolutely despise how every goal is scored there's a coach just hunched over the bench looking at a replay to see if they can challenge. It takes all the air out of goals being scored because you're always sitting there half wondering if someone was offsides by a millimeter a minute and a half ago.

It's also an indictment of NHL linesmen how often goals get overturned because they're unable to properly call offsides in real time.

It loving sucks when all that happens, I'm not trying to say it's good. I'm just saying that the player who went offside 45 seconds before a goal was scored should share a lot more of the blame than they do currently.

Like, it's odd that when one of these goals gets called back everyone immediately wants the league to change a fundamental rule of the game, or take away their ability to call it correctly, instead of just posting about how some random forward is a dumbass for making a bad play

Theres multiple things to enjoy about hockey. On one hand you have sick poo poo like different various clappers, guys getting their groin speared and rolling around crying, beaking off, guys going around fast like race cars and deking guys asses off, tackling, punching each other, blowing up the goalie and he might be dead, etc., etc., and on the other hand you have correct accuracy of technical verified via forensic review in offsite HQ using advanced technique and we just wait for it and look at the wall being calm and silent while rule violation is correctly verified. and Theyre equally important to the enjoyment of the game

Just reviewing it on goal scoring plays is already subjective though, it's a very specific review interpretation. It's not reviewed on plays that lead to a penalty, or a defensive zone draw, or for any other reason. rear end in a top hat 1's offside that leads a to a defensive zone penalty that leads to a goal is gonna count 100% of the time.

So if you're already allowing for some amount of subjectivity, then it would be very easy to limit offsides reviews to plays that directly lead to a goal. IE - player is involved in the scoring play and the goal is within 10 seconds of the offsides. That or get rid of it because who gives a poo poo I'm sick of seeing Sutter hunched over his bench like a goblin looking into an ipad

The whole point of the offsides rule is to eliminate cherry picking, not if a dude mistimes a zone entry by half a second

I don't know how to rewrite the rule where a bad zone entry isn't offside anymore, but it would be better I think

Also and this is just anecdotal but I'm pretty sure linesmen are leaning way the gently caress more into "this is onside" because of the review rule, knowing that if they're wrong it's gonna get fixed anyway so why prevent a scoring play?

I guess one of the few game flow benefits from this dumb rear end review system

They do that in soccer with an offside position or an offside offense. It leads to more arguments than having a line painted on the ice does.

The offside rule exists because of that time Matt Duchene was literally 6 feet offside.

The stuff that gets called back was perfectly fine before and nobody cared. The Colorado Avalanche ruined hockey.



Also lol no, NHL players have not been taught to respect the line their whole lives. Until they get to the pros there are no resources to manage that well, you cheat the lines all the time. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
you should only get 10-15 seconds after a goal is scored to make a challenge. it happened in the Leafs-Knights game the other night that the refs kept going over to Bruce Cassidy seeing if he wanted to challenge, him taking a timeout and then deciding not to challenge. boring as hell! make the decision to challenge if you think it’s a close play or get out of here already!

There should be a hard line for the rule but if a review takes longer than 60 seconds just stick to the call on the ice. If it takes that much effort to decide if the call was correct you're not 100% anyway

Making you happy for a buck since 199X
Replay official gets 30 seconds to watch the replay a couple times at real time speed. If it's not 100.00% obvious the call was wrong then it stands and we all move on with our lives.

That's the obvious and natural way to do it. No sport does it. The owners it's better for their financial interests to do it the way they're doing it.

I guess my contention is that being offsides by like 0.2 seconds isn't "a bad play". It's totally within reason and oftentimes no one can say the player is offside until they dissect the video from multiple angles. Being 6 feet offside is a bad play.

Because sports are an analog thing and humans are imperfect, there's variance in every play. Rules are important to define the structure of the sport and prevents it from turning into calvinball, but despite everyone generally trying to follow those rules fuckups will happen and the officiating should tolerate human variability.

Screeching the action to a halt so a crew can squint at a looping clip is a waste of everyone's time. It's unrealistic to expect centimeter precision from athletes, and the officiating shouldn't be centimeter accurate either. If a ref can't spot offsides at game speed then I opine it has no impact on the outcome of the game.

In the past couple games I've noticed some pretty crazy non-calls - some fuckin Flame catching the puck in the d zone out of the air and straight up Tom Bradying it down the ice or the funny one the other day after Foegele blasted some bitch in the numbers and the other lightning dude got mad and confused and dropped the gloves and started wailing on Kailer Yamamoto who had gently caress all to do with it with no call.

Anyway if youre gonna no call that poo poo (fine, whatever, I'd wail the gently caress out of Yamamoto too that would be fun as poo poo) then having this whole weird rear end other mechanism to call goals and poo poo back via time travel and toe position that seems not great

Twice in the panthers game, McCarron dropped the gloves and throwing fists against someone who wasn't fighting him, one against someone who wasn't expecting it.

One was over a completely missed hit because the guy fell before he got hit.

Yeah, okay, keep your fighting when both players are up to it, but if a 6'6" dude drops the gloves and starts wailing on people when he gets mad, that seems like more than a 2 minute roughing problem.

I've been very impressed with Cassidy. He's been good about trying new things a few at a time and reverting if they're not working (broke up the Misfits and then put them back together). His defensive system is limiting other teams to outside shots and also generating a lot of turnovers.

Just need to juice the powerplay now.

I'm glad that a lot of the things that were up in the air before the season started (Stone's back surgery, Eichel's top end after his surgery, Lehner being out, trading Patches away, new coach/system) went right so far.

We expect players to be in control of their bodies. If a guy is pumping his arms skating and his stick passes an inch in front of a guy’s face it’s fine, but an inch the other way it’s a penalty. If a player bats a puck out of the air a little too early on the way down we call off a goal. Icing, puck over glass, these are all plays where if a guy does something close but not close enough they’re penalized in some way.

So there’s tons of cases where the difference between a play continuing or stopping comes down to a player action being a little more or less than what they did, and offside isn’t any different. The only change is how long it takes in game time for the infraction to be called, and while that’s annoying I don’t see why we consider the league to be at fault when in all others cases a player is at fault.

I was going to disagree with you, but I've actually come to enjoy analyzing offside and/or goal footage like it's the Zapruder film. HFBoards in particular used to be full of grainy screenshots and armchair physicists. if we're gonna have it, we should go back to 240/480p and have some fun with it.

I would also be totally okay if they got rid of all that poo poo and just let the game go. I like it when referees have grudges and put their own personal spin on the game.

Potential goal of the year got called back due to an offside review lmao

What a league

Yeah that sucks.

Purely luck that there even existed a camera frame that proved the offside too, it was that close. The timing of that apparently 60-fps camera could've been ever so slightly different and they couldn't have proved the offside. But as it was, this was the one and only frame that showed the play was offside:

I will admit, there is at least sometimes actual drama in a challenge and I’ve been legitimately interested/amused

And I’d also be perfectly ok with not having video replay for this stuff either. I’m just saying the next time the Leafs get a goal disallowed because Rielly couldn’t keep the puck in at the line or Nylander was a step ahead of the puck carrier I’m going to be calling those players dumbasses in the GDT instead of proposing rules changes here

i hate to say it, but you really are out of practice here if that's the case. The Pens have been out in the first round for years, but Eric + Rex would be writing Infinite Jest-length posts about how his heel was actually on the line if you normalize the camera angles and take into account the camera lens distorting the image and how [insert opponent here] should be banned from the league because they're the actual cheaters. how do you expect to get out of the first round posting like that?
