Someone explain. I walked away because it was clear as day offside

Puck went in offside. But Makar didn’t touch the puck after it entered the zone until Nichushkin had tagged up.

Nah, its a clown call

Eh. I think it’s a good call.

The NHL Rulebook posted:

A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with the blue line, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line. On his own side of the line shall be defined by a “plane” of the blue line which shall extend from the leading edge of the blue line upwards. If a player’s skate has yet to break the “plane” prior to the puck completely crossing the leading edge, he is deemed to be on-side for the purpose of the off-side rule.

At the moment Nichushkin tags up, Makar is also in an onside position. It was onside, and also hilarious.

So he changed the puck's direction and literally did not touch it until the offensive zone was clear?

That's what I'm reading.

Yes. Go watch it again.

I don't watch hockey much.. are goalies coming out of their net more a new meta that started in the last couple years? I don't remember them coming out nearly as much as they do now to stop a wraparound puck behind the net. Like I said though, I don't watch hockey nearly as much as other sports so I might just not have noticed before.

Not really. The trapezoid exists because Martin Brodeur used to basically function as a third defenseman.

Last time I recall that sort of thing happening was Bertuzzi on Calvert a few years ago, resulted in a 2 game suspension for Bertuzzi

Pardon me but mentioning the family name requires an obligatory gently caress Todd Bertuzzi.

wow. Oilers went goony as hell at the end. I didn't like the Avs response to that... If someone throws your teammate into the boards and then crosschecks them in the head like 10 times in a row, loving do something to protect him. Don't just stand there staring :psyduck:... Someone should have given Nurse a crosscheck in the kidneys for that

Nah. You continue doing what you’re doing and point to the scoreboard. To borrow the old adage: “Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig wins in six.”

Can someone explain the zone entry system the Avs are using on the pp, where they skate up then drop back to the defenseman who skates it ahead for entry? I’m sure it’s to clear the neutral zone, pushing the defending four back, but I haven’t seen it used a ton on other teams. Newer system?
