ECSF Game 5 | New York @ Ottawa | 3:00 PM ET | CBC, TVAS, NBCSN

[West Coast Eagles]

Find that rule in the rule book

It's quite clearly there. 83.1

 

[swiftwin]

As was Holden's in OT of game 2. What's your point?

That's my point.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

We'll be hearing that from the media until Tuesday. Guarantee it.

No way Dzingel gets 12 PIMs. He doesn't have the heart.

 

[TriFF51]

But I won't lie, these are two semi-above average teams playing each other. I can't see either of these teams going far.

Doesn't get much farther than the 3rd round.

 

[Alex1234]

Grabners was a good goal, and Turris was offside
Oh well, NYR will still win

However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the
line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,†provided he
had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the
blue line.

Never played hockey??

 

[makdeniss]

Well... no this year nyr

 

[tstracuzza]

Grabners was a good goal, and Turris was offside
Oh well, NYR will still win

Do you know the rules of the NHL?

 

[Whoot Whoot]

For anyone who turned the TV off in rage the rangers did challenge the offsides.
I would have rage turned off too but I couldn't find the remote.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

The puck was passed to him, he was not in control of the puck, it wasn't even near his stick

He received the pass and had possession of the puck before he crossed the blue line

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Probably doesn't get overturned but I'm still mad they didn't even look.

The referee went over to the boards, burped, and went to center ice to make the announcement.

At no point did I see a very small ipad come out.

What if it was offside? They wouldn't have even looked.

They showed the linesman checking it out on CBC, maybe NBC didn't bother showing it?

 

[aufheben]

Yes...And? As I said, guaranteed if you ask any casual Rangers fan they will just say "because hes the best!" which again, is wrong and a false statement, never mind the fact that it has nothing to do with his nickname.

Yeah, again, you're taking it literally. Did you know Mark Messier wasn't actually a moose?

 

[Captain And Coke]

Find that rule in the rule book

Rule 83 – Off-side
83.1 Off-side

Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone. The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leading edge of the blue line involved in the play. A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,†provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line. It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is “off-side,†nevertheless the question of an “off-side†never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blue line at which time the decision is to be made.

 

[6ix]

Lundqvist is a joke, another 5 goal game and lead he blew

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Story of the series for me, so far is that Rangers have an amazing offense, but can't hold a lead.

 

[Sens Rule]

Pull it up that is not the rule neither is getting a 2 minute penalty for dropping your gloves. Either way all this series is, is an above average team losing to a braely average team. Neither team has a shot of einning anything.

Lol. This is a series of two very good teams playing each other close.

sure Sens were not great in goals for and against. Got 3 guys near the deadline that added tremendous depth and a true top 6 forward in MacArthur from injury.

Karlsson is by far the best player on the ice.

But yeah Ottawa is barely average.

 

[Flamingo]

The puck was passed to him, he was not in control of the puck, it wasn't even near his stick

He did receive the pass in the neutral zone, and was handling it from forehand to backhand at the moment he wasn't in contact with the puck as he crossed the blue line.

 

[liquid1988]

Yeah, again, you're taking it literally.

Guess we will continue to go in circles. Pointless argument anyway. Rangers lost, Ottawa won, on to the next game.

 

[Sensin5]

The puck was passed to him, he was not in control of the puck, it wasn't even near his stick

Oh my. Your post was actually serious? Yikes. Good luck with that.

And somehow Grabner hitting puck at least six inches above the crossbar is also good, right?

Yikes again.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The Senators are being gifted this series because the Rangers have an incompetent coach

 

[Korpse]

However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the
line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,†provided he
had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the
blue line.

Never played hockey??

I'm always astonished with the number of posters on here who did not know this rule and still do not know it.

 

[EdJovanovski]

It was passed to Turris when he had already crossed the blueline, he was not in control of the puck

 

[Rsswmu]

I do have a legit question though when has anyone ever got a 10 for fighting without the accompying 5. Just eondering I have never seen it.

 

[swiftwin]

That's ok, because Ottawa's incompetent coach gifted the Rangers games 3 and 4.

 

[Cassano]

That's ok, because Ottawa's incompetent coach gifted the Rangers games 3 and 4.

That's true.

 

[Alex1234]

The puck was passed to him, he was not in control of the puck, it wasn't even near his stick

Yeah Turris was a healthy scratch so how was it possible????
