Buffalo scores goal that's clearly offside, counts anyway

[YoSoyLalo]

Surprised there hasnt been a thread on this.



The "goal" should be around the 5 minute mark.

How do you f*** that up? They have video review. It's like if you tried to make a bowl of cereal and instead you got herpes. What a crock.

It was out, and should have been offsides.

A Buffalo Sports Team gets a break on a call; that's the amazing thing here.........

edit: Saw a different angle of the play on NHL Network this morning. Showed both Buffalo players tagged up as the puck was played into the Colorado zone.

Good goal from that angle!

It counted because they determined that the skaters touched up on a delayed offside. You should probably mention that part since the video you posted doesn't show the bit that actually matters.

Yup, this.

 

[Snippit]

They literally explained it

Avs announcers figured it out right before it was deemed a goal

 

[ijuka]

If he only touches the puck once(or isn't touching it when it crosses the line), it is not an offside.

Hard to see with that view there. Got a better one?

 

[Brock Radunske]

Judging by tge teams playing, it was probably just a "phone it in" game in the eyes of the refs/league

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Wow. That was obvious. Goal was at 5:12 btw

 

[These Are The Days]

The Sabres got hosed on an offsides goal that should not have counted some several games back. I think this was karma's way of cutting them a break

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Brutal call.

I guess you could make that mistake when watching the game at full speed, but you have instant replay available. It's pretty pathetic that you had multiple people looking at it and then were like "yeah, that's a good goal".

 

[These Are The Days]

For what it's worth the making the bowl of cereal and getting herpes instead analogy was the most colorful thing I've heard all week. Bravo OP you gave me my laugh for the day and it was before 8 AM. All the likes!

This was not offside. Watched it frame by frame. He's not in possession when crossing blue line.

He chips it ahead and when he actually gains possession he's not offside.

 

[Roksta]

It is not an offside, of course the media doesn't show the whole video and edit it to make it seem like its an offside. SAD!

FAKE NEWS!!

 

[shoeshine boy]

yeah, move along, nothing to see here. it's pretty clear from the second angle that the puck came COMPLETELY over the blue line before the Sabres player touched it. assuming (because the clip doesn't show it and I didn't watch this game) all Sabres cleared the zone before going back in and touching the the puck that play is clearly onside.

That's what happened, the players offside tagged up and came back in before the puck was touched again. The fact that it came completely out doesn't matter if it was brought back in inside. How is this even a thread, the refs actually got this one right.

 

[Ceremony]

It was onside, according to the rules. The rule is bullshit as far as I'm concerned (not least because it leads to nonsense situations like this), but it was a legitimate goal.

This is really specific.

 

[Der Jaeger]

The NHL's blue line camera showed what happened clearly. The puck came out, very clearly. Larsson did not maintain possession but instead chipped in back in. Before Larsson crossed the blue line, the offsides Sabres forwards, Wilson and Pouliot touched up and re-entered the zone.

It was onsides.

[Ceremony]

And, as ever.

OFFSIDE.

 

[WJCJ]

100% onside by the time the next touch was made on the puck, the right call was made.

 

[llamateizer]

The puck left offensive zone. but when the puck came in, Sabres forwards left the zone

 

[ijuka]

You can even see the linesman getting ready to blow the whistle(implying he saw the puck come out of the zone) but then realize that he wasn't in possession and then signify no offside afterwards. He was totally on point there. So no, it wasn't a case of him sleeping on the job, missing the puck exiting the zone and fluking the correct call.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

isnt this similar to the chicago goal last year on the offside touchup??
the sabres player didnt really have possession, so this was onside.

But the chicago one last year, I swear that was still offside because he came in with possession

Good analogy.
