What is the SCF matchup?
I’ve been watching and playing hockey my whole life and thought I knew the offside rule inside and out.I went hunting around for an official explanation regarding the no-goal from last night...
Elliotte Friedman tweeted out the NHL's official reasoning. The rule clearly states that a player only needs to touch to blue line with a skate to tag-up, yet their reason for disallowing the goal was that Landeskog did not legally tag up. Essentially, the NHL is claiming that Landeskog never touched the blueline, despite the replay showing his left skate on the blueline as the puck enters the zone.
This is just asinine. How the hell could they watch those replays and determine conclusively that he never touched the blueline? He sure as hell appears to have his left foot on the blueline when the puck enters the zone...yet the replay guys in Toronto determined 100% conclusively that he didn't?!
Really, really hard to still take this seriously. The league can at least claim their hands were tied on the 5 minute major against Vegas. But this latest call defies any explanation. They got it right on the ice, and made it wrong upon review.

Bringing replay in for offside challenges has shown me that I don’t have a ****ing clue.
Brind'amour seems like a sweet coach.
Lol his Knobiness seems to be working.Too bad his first wasn't Rob, as "... the knob" fits him very well.
Right? Put the whistle away you twat.Just shocking that a game being officiated by Marc Joanette is already littered with weak penalty calls.
Should at least get a Warrening.Foegele sure gets away with alot.
If useless defencemen would stop hitting every player into their net/goalie then forwards would have to actually pretend to avoid them.How convenient. You can kill the goaltender as long as the puck crossed the line 4 milliseconds before you did so. What a joke.
